Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. From the ancient lands of Eastern Iran and Greater Khorasan, beneath the snow-covered peaks of the Hindu Kush and the rugged ridges of the Suleiman Mountains, emerged one of the oldest and most resilient peoples of Asia-the Pashtuns. Along the great caravan routes that once linked Central Asia, Persia, India, and the Near East, generations of conquerors, traders, monks, warriors, and migrants crossed paths. Out of this vast world of movement and transformation, the Pashtun identity slowly took shape.This book challenges the legends and courtly myths that for centuries obscured the true origins of the Pashtuns. Moving beyond the familiar narratives of Mughal chroniclers, it traces more than a thousand years of forgotten history through the rise and fall of empires, the spread of religions, the evolution of languages, and the long process of ethnogenesis that shaped the people now known as the Pashtuns.Long before the pen of Ni'matullah al-Harawi crafted royal genealogies in the Mughal courts of Delhi, the mountains of Khorasan and Afghanistan had already witnessed centuries of upheaval and transformation. Greek armies marched through Bactria after Alexander's conquests. Saka and Scythian horsemen thundered across the eastern Iranian plateau. Buddhist monasteries rose where sacred Zoroastrian fires once burned. Hephthalite rulers carved kingdoms from the highlands, while Turkic and Khalaj tribes descended from the Central Asian steppes into the valleys and passes of Afghanistan. Persian, Aramaic, Bactrian, and Sanskrit echoed across the trade routes where caravans carried not only silk and spices, but also ideas, beliefs, customs, and bloodlines.Within this vast historical crucible, identities did not emerge suddenly or from a single ancestor. They were formed slowly across centuries of migration, assimilation, conflict, and survival. This work argues that the Pashtuns were not the product of a single tribe, a sacred genealogy, or a royal invention. Rather, they emerged organically through the blending of eastern Iranian peoples with waves of Saka, Scythian, Hephthalite, Turkic, and Khalaj influences, shaped by the harsh geography of mountains, valleys, and frontier life.Rejecting the pre-modern era myth that traces Pashtun origins solely to Qais Abdul Rashid in the seventh century, this book restores a far older, richer and lived history-one rooted in the ancient world of Eastern Iran and Greater Khorasan. It explores how language, culture, overlapping beliefs, immigration, assimilation, tribal identity, and political traditions gradually crystallized over a millennium into the Pashtun society known today.Combining historical narrative with scholarly investigation, this work revisits forgotten sources, archaeological evidence, linguistic evolution, and regional histories to uncover the lost centuries buried beneath legend. It is a story of endurance through invasion, adaptation through change, and survival against empire after empire. It is the story of a people forged not in a moment, but in a long and relentless historical process.This book is both a challenge to inherited myths and a restoration of historical memory. It invites readers to rediscover the magnificent and complex journey of the Pashtuns-a history far older, deeper, and more colorful than the simplified legends that later generations came to accept as truth.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Textile dyes have adverse effects on human beings and aquatic life. Textile dye waste is a potential source of surface and ground water contamination if it is not properly collected, treated and disposed of. The main objective of the research was to prepare activated carbon from an agricultural solid waste, coconut coir and to determine its effectiveness in removing textile dyes from aqueous solution and in textile dye waste treatment. The coconut coir activated carbon (CCAC) and a commercial activated carbon (CAC) were characterised in terms of ash content, bulk density, pH, pHZPC, surface area, micropore area, micropore volume, average pore diameter, surface morphology, surface acidic functional groups, basic sites and surface functional groups. Adsorption of four different classes of textile dyes, namely Acid Red 18 (AR 18), Disperse Red 343 (DR 343), Reactive Yellow 15 (RY 15) and Direct Blue 86 (DB 86) by CCAC and CAC were examined. 152 pp. Englisch.…
