Thanks for your interest and valuable comments. You are most welcome to our Department of Archaeology University of the Punjab New Campus Lahore. Regarding the current research and finds, I believe that the true potential and impact of Punjab hasn't been studied in the real sense of the words. The key role of the region is still unexplored. I believe that Punjab is the area where kingdoms were formed, culture development and civilization emerged. The areas around Sargodha and Jhang played pivotal role but we haven't talked about it. I also wish to continue my research and find more conclusive evidences related to Buddhist, Jain, Hindu, Sikh & Muslim traditions. We also need support from people like you. Regards

@@DrMuhammadHameed-or4zj Thank you, sir! I think there are quite a number of potential archaeological sites just in our own area. I mentioned it to Salman sb earlier that the site of old Bhera, now called Ahmadabad also deserves some attention. Similarly, there is a mound near Miani called Tibba Ashab. Some Indo-Scythians coins were found there in the British period. Valley of river Jhelum has always been one of the most fertile regions in all the subcontinent. There must be many ancient settlements along the banks of Vitasta-Jhelum-Hydaspes. Many many villages are built over mounds, and are colloquially known as "Ahli". Lastly, thank you again for your kind words!

Sir thank you very much for your nice words and appreciation. I believe we need to know about shape, shade and nature of Buddhism in Punjab. Buddhist Narrative art in Terracotta can be a valuable addition to our existing knowledge.

Absolutely Dr Hameed. This is a fascinating subject and look forward to more from you through Salman Sir's channel which we follow regularly. I have visited the stupas at Bodh Gaya and Sarnath near Varanasi and have been very impressed with their construction.

Credit goes to Sir Salman Rashid for encouraging students like us to know about our actual history. I consider myself blessed enough to learn from him through discussion and watching his fabulous videos. Thank you for your nice words

Thanks a lot, dear Sir, It's just a humble beginning, and I believe still a long way to go. We all need to work at our own ends.

Unfortunate because we have been driven so far away from our cultural heritage and historical pride that we don't even bother to know and listen. We have that extreme inferiority embedded in our blood that we have become blind, deaf and dumb with no desire to reflect on our brilliant past. If someone from west talks about our history and interpret our culture, whether right or wrong, we happily accept and keep imposing that narrative on us. Our own people are very judgmental and judge our personalities, language, appearance rather than the contents of our talks. I am working on the mission to make my land and people aware of the outstanding heritage and history we have and giving them the sense to take this pride. It's a continuous effort, I know but very much hopeful to achieve the results with the help of people like Sir Salman you, & others. Thank you.

I am from Rajasthan 🇮🇳

Thank you very much dear Sir. I appreciate your nice words. I am just a student of Archaeology/ History/Heritage and trying to explore our lost pride and shared values.

I am grateful to Sir Salman Rashid Sahib for his entire support, guidance, and encouragement. I look forward to having more joint ventures with Sir Salman and learn from his vast experience.

Thanks for pointing out the important archaeological sites in the region. These sites have thousands years of our great history buried and waiting to be explored.

@@DrMuhammadHameed-or4zj I found a coin of kanishka II a grinding wheel. . broken clay statue and few complete briks. More than all its name is SIR KUP DA TIBBA. NObody has ever bothered to know that same name mound exists in Taxala.

@@DrMuhammadHameed-or4zj What is guessed it was a big city. But now shrank to size because of encroachment. There are few villages like KALPI. . KAPI. . AMBA AND KALIA which are concidered populated before invasion of the Alexander.

@@azlanameer4912 you are right Sir. Maybe we can visit the site together in near future and highlight it's significance. We can play our role and create awareness among like-minded individuals and professionals. I am happy to know about your knowledge, interest and passion.

Thank you very much, dear Sir.

This is the bitter ground reality, dear Sir. We are trying to explore and document these sites with specific objectives. The major effort includes taking locals on board, educating them, creating awareness about the heritage, and making them feel a sense of ownership. Of course, we need to be more vigilant and vibrant.

سر آپ کا بہت شکریہ۔ میں سر سلمان صاحب کا نہایت مشکور ہوں ۔ ان سے سیکھنے کی کوشش کر رہا ہوں ۔ اس سلسلے کی پہلی کڑی آپ اہباب کی پیش خدمت ہے ۔ ابھی بہت کچھ سیکھنا اور سمجھنا باقی ہے ۔

موجودہ ریکارڈنگ کچھ عجلت میں کی گئی اس لیے خاطر خواہ کمی رہ گئی اور خالصتاً میں اس کا زمہ دار ہوں۔ اگلی مرتبہ بھرپور کوشش ہو گی کہ بیانیہ اور انداز سلمان صاحب کی راہنمائی سے بہتر بنا سکوں۔ جزاک اللہ

We need to explore and record all these mounds before its too late. We need a collect approach.

Sir the research work is in progress and we are addressing the same questions such as which story is depicted in the narrative relief - Subject matter - Theme? Religious? Or Secular? Any parallel examples in Gandharan reliefs or beyond? Style? Manufacturing Technique? Physiography of the figures? Clothing? Influences? Dating?

@@DrMuhammadHameed-or4zj Thanks but please keep us updated through this platform.

​@@AnantKumar-ji1re Sure Sir

Bah i hamain tourist chahiye hi nahi

Absolutely, no doubt about it. Thousands of years of our history are still shrouded in mystery, lying buried underneath these archaeological mounds. Archaeo-historical profile of the region is still unknown to us, taking us away from our actual pride. We need to adopt broadmindedness and act maturely to showcase our brilliant past.

Dr Hameed is a good speaker self made person among the all speakers. Only keen observer can see the hidden abilties of Dr Hameed.

I am also a big fan of Sir Salman and trying to learn from him. He is a legend and I consider myself lucky enough to spend time with him. Always a thorough learning experience

Thanks dear
