| | History of the Punjab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The first known use of the word Punjab is in the book Tarikh-e-Sher Shah (1580), which mentions the construction of a fort by "Sher Khan of Punjab". | | | Another Central Asiatic people to make Punjab their home were the Hephthalites (White Huns), who engaged in continuous campaigns from across the Hindu Kush, finally establishing their rule in India in the 5th century. | | | Panini, a famous ancient Sanskrit grammarian born in Shalātura, modern Lahur of North-West Frontier province of Pakistan, was himself a Punjabi Afghan. |

| | Against Communalising History |
| | The exponents of the brahmanical and non- brahmanical sects certainly propagated their own religious ideas and practices in the areas where they were given donations of land and villages but, at the same time, appropriated the tribal cults and deities resulting in a demographic explosion in the world of divinity during early medieval times. | | | Obviously, all this is not indicative of the use of force in spreading Christian beliefs and practices. | | | Kanishka, who controlled most parts of north and north western India (including the Punjab region) adopted the religion of the Buddha and one of his successors Vasudeva took to Vaishnavism, not to mention the case of the Greek ambassador Heliodorus who set up a pillar at Vidisa in Madhya Pradesh. |
