A Concise History of Afghanistan in 25 Volumes
Author: Hamid Wahed Alikuzai
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1490714472
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 1017
Book Description
For 35,000 years ancient Afghanistan was called Aryana (the Light of God) has existed. Then in 747 AD what is today called Afghanistan became Khorasan (which means Sunrise in Dari) which was a much larger geographical area. In the middle of the nineteenth century the name Afghanistan, which means home of the united tribes, was applied originally by the Saxons (present day British) and the Russians. During the Great Games in the middle of nineteenth century, the Durand Line was created in 1893 and was in place until 1993. Saxons created the state of Afghanistan out of a geographical area roughly the size of Texas: in 1893 before which there were 10 million square kilometers, larger than the size of Canada, as means to act as a buffer zone between the Saxon-India & Tsarist-Russia and the Chinese.

Mahavamsa
Author: Mahānāma
Publisher:
ISBN: 9788180902451
Category : Buddhism
Languages : en
Pages : 675
Book Description
The Mahavamsa is a famous historical treatise in Buddhism, written by Mahanama in Pali language. It deserves a special notice on aacount of its being so highly important for the religious history of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) . The literary questions connected with Mahavamsa & the development of the historical tradition in Sri Lanka have been thoroughly discussed in this text. However, the great importance of Mahavamsa as an historical work, which helped to settle the conflicting & confusing dates of Indian history, is so well established that a dissertation on the subject would seem superfluous. The specific feature of this edition is that it contains original Pali text with revised English translation. Besides, the work is also appendices. Hope, this new edition of its kind will duly help the young researches as well as readers of pali and buddhism to understand the real importance of this old historical text.
