PUBLICATIONS ON THE KHYBER

Khyber Pass, which is one of the most historic passes of the world, has played a very important role in the history of Central Asia and Hindustan. Every visitor and tourist into Pakistan makes an effort to visit this pass at the earliest opportunity. I have already published an article regarding its history, which appeared in The Frontier Post, Peshawar, dated 17 May 1991 and the Gandhara Times, Vol 1, No 1, dated 15 September 1992. The article was titled Long Live Khyber. Given below is the list of important publications on the Khyber and its people for guidance of research scholars and tourists alike.
