How about Project Khorasan: Re-unification of Central Asia

United Khurasan :
1. Iran
2. Afghanistan
3. Pakistan
4. Tajikistan
5. Turkmenistan
6. Uzbekistan
7. Kazakhstan

I was in Turkiye recently and always a pleasure to visit the Topakapi Palace where I saw a Ottoman printed map of the world and included Khuraistan i.e. Central Asia.

Was not so long ago that this region was enjoined by religion, language, ethncity, culture and geography, considerign the Ottomans were laid to rest in 1924.

We as the modern Mughal nation – Sar Zameen-e-Pakistan should never look to our East, for that is a land of our ghulams but we should look to our West and North because historically this is what has shaped our identity.

Remember The Mughals and Ottomans were cousins and today if Pakistan is that building block to unify Khorasan on the Farthest front of Khorasan we can build the bridge back to our Turkish kardes.

There is something very real and refreshing when you reflect on the history of Khorasan but more importantly in the context of unification of Khorasan as a major integrated trading block of sovereign Islamic Istans.

Pakistan Manzil Nehin – Nishan-e-Manzil Hain.

Khorasan Zendabad
Pakistan Zindabad
Islam Paindabad

Khorasani – Kashmiris, Balochis, Sindhis and even Punjabis are not Indian but Indo Aryans. Aryans being central Asian Persian and Turkic people.

Yes Pakistan has many urdu speaking migrants from modern India but they are the legacy of the last Khorasani empire – The Mughal Empire.

Khorasan began in Afghanistan and its borders have grown over time to include the nations you mentioned and equally it grew along the Indus which has been part of every Islamic empire for the last 1300 years in one form or another.

Khorasan was the northern Islamic crescent part of the glibal Islamic Ummah to which we belong. In Asia re-education of Khorasan and integration of central Asian Islamic Nations so a viable blick emerges touching the Indus all the way to the Black Sea connected to the straits of hormuz is critical for Islam in Asia to prosper, for real security, for real prosperity above all for Peace no longer held hostage in the grand chessboard. Islamic Central Asia will only then emerge as a real player and no longer a pawn.

The reality of a new Khorasan dawns the Horizon,

Khorasan, The name is old as is the region, the region was carved up amongst many Central Asian Empires but continued to coexist with open borders. It represented the Islamic Central Asian lands, frontier lands rich in resource and people, trade was great as everything flowed through Khorasan also known by The British as The Greater Middle East to The Middle East and onto Europe, Africa. Eastward traders went as far as China and the Asia Pacific.

Khorasan repersents a back to basic approach of re-integrating Central Asia. An ancient region but the home to one of the oldest series of states and empires in Central Asia. The region grew wide and afar over time but is said to have existed in and around the river basin of the lower Amu Darya where it empties into the Aral Sea, and north-eastern Persia. Depending on who was ruling, its territory varied immensely. At its height Khorasan stretched into most of Afghanistan and the Eastern regions of Persia, central Turkmenistan and southern Kyrgyzstan, plus central and southern Uzbekistan and all of Tajikistan (which together made up ancient Transoxiana).

As Turkic and Persian Empires extended Eastwards Khorasan encompassed all of the Indus Valley too and naturally well the rule of Farghana through Babur extended to Qabul and his lineage across the Indus, the Indus too was a rich part of a strong and large vast Khorasan of our not to distant future. The Khorasan name still exists but as a province in modern Iran and a region in north-western Uzbekistan.

The British and The Russian Empire has conquered and carved up these vast lands and while the name became a distant memory it was never forgotten and remained a sub conscious of a forgotten people, disoriented, lost and some may even say wayward. These lands began favouring monarchies, communism, socialism, a republic model and in the moden era democracy or should we say work in progress towards democracy.

Transoxiana, the crossroads between Central Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East, was located around the southern coast of the Aral Sea, and in the cities of Bukhara and Samarkand. The earliest known rulers in the region, when it was known as Sogdia or Sogdiana, to differentiate it from bordering Bactria, are placed in the 600s BC, shortly before the warlike tribe of the Massagetae were recorded as bordering the area to the north in 530 BC. Then it was conquered by the Persians, and for the most part remained governed from there until the tenth century AD.

7th cent BC
Sijavus / Siyavash
Son of Kai Kavoos of Persia, and son-in-law of Afrasiab.

Sijavus is a legendary Persian prince and the son-in-law of the mythical Afrasiab, the hero and king of Turan. Turan is the ancient Iranian name for Central Asia, ‘land of the Tur’, which is inhabited by Iranian peoples. Due to the treachery of his stepmother, Sudabeh, Sijavus exiles himself to Turan. There, he marries Farangis, the daughter of Afrasiab, but the king later orders Sijavus to be killed. His death is avenged by his son, who inherits the early Persian throne.

c.550 – 330 BC
The heartland of the region (known as Sogdia) is drawn into Cyrus the Great’s Persian empire. It is also named Huvarazmish in Persian inscriptions. In 330 BC it becomes part of the Greek empire.

323 – 321? BC
Philip / Philippus
Greek satrap of Khorasan / Bactria & Sogdiana.

321 – 312 BC
Stasanor the Solian
Greek satrap of Indo-Greek territory & Khorasan (316 BC).

316 – 312 BC
Sogdiana is governed by the Argead satrap, Stasanor the Solian, for the Greek empire.

312 – c.140 BC
During the break-up of the empire, it appears that parts of the area become independent, but much of it falls to the kings of Bactria.

140 BC
After Bactria’s destruction, the region is later inhabited by Zoroastrian Indians who use Aramaic script. Sogdiana is for the most part independent.

AD 552
The Western Kaghans expand their dominion towards Sogdiana and right up to the borders of the Islamic Emirate of Khorasan.

651 – 821
The region is absorbed into the Islamic empire as it takes Persia. Governors, or emirs, are appointed to control Islamic Emirate of Khorasan in the name of the caliph.

821 – 873
The Tahrid emirs are established in Khorasan, which includes northern and western Afghanistan up to the borders of the kingdom of Zabulistan, when the region is granted to them by the Abbasid caliph, al-Mamun.

873 – 900
The Tahrids are ousted as emirs of Khorasan by the Saffarids, but in 900 they are defeated by the Transoxianan Samanids and reduced in territory to Seistan in Persia, where they remain Samanid vassals. The Samanids install their own governors in Khorasan.

994
The Samanid ruler faces internal uprisings, and the Ghaznavid ruler goes to his assistance. The rebels are defeated at Balkh and then Nishapur, and Sebuktigin of Ghazni is granted the title ‘Nasir ud-Din’ (‘Hero of the Faith’), while his son, Mahmud, is made governor of Khorasan.

994 – 998
Yamin-ud-Dawlah Mahmud
Governor. Son of Sebuktigin of Ghazni. King of Ghazni (998-1030).

995
The previous ruling Banu Iraq dynasty is overthrown in a coup. Areas of Khorasan are united under the emirs of North Khwarazm, who gain a level of autonomy from the weak Persian Buwayids.

997
Mahmud campaigns against the Qara-Khitai in Central Asia, but is ultimately defeated. The following year he lays successful claim to the Ghaznavid throne itself.

Emirs of North Khwarazm / Khorezm / Khorasan
AD 995 – 1390s?

Always under the influence of Persia, if not its direct control, Khwarazm was initially centred on ancient Samarkand and Bukhara. At its height, it extended to encompass almost all of modern Iran (except the western border area), eastern Azerbaijan, western Afghanistan, all of Turkmenistan, most of Uzbekistan, western Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, and the southern areas of Kazakhstan.

The emirs (and later, shahs) had their capital at Urgench (pronounced oorgyench), now Kunya-Urgench, the capital of Uzbekistan. The city became a major seat of Arabic learning and a centre of agriculture and trade, but it was destroyed by the Mongols in the early thirteenth century, partially rebuilt, and then abandoned in the sixteenth century, following the Uzbek conquest of the region.

1017 – 1040
Khwarazm is conquered by the Ghaznavids after the emir is killed in a rebellion, but it is unclear if the entire emirate is subjugated. In 1040 the Ghaznavids are defeated by Seljuq Turks at Dandanqan, and lose their western territories, including Khwarazm.

1098 – 1128
Qutb al-Din Muhammed

1128 – 1156
Ala al-Din Aziz / Shah Atsyz
Rebelled against the Seljuqs. Defeated & returned to vassal status.

1156 – 1172
Taj al-Dunya Arslan

1172 – 1193
Jalal al-Dunya Sultanshah

1193 – 1200
Ala al-Din Tekish / Tukush / Tekesh
Former Seljuq slave appointed governor of Khwarazm.

1194
The emirate gains independence from the Persian Seljuq Turks by overthrowing them and occupying much of the rest of Khorasan.

1200 – 1220
Ala ad Deen Muhammed (ibn Tekesh)
Son. Died a fugitive following the fall of Samarkand.

1205 – 1212
Khwarazm rapidly expands its rule. In 1210 it takes Samarkand from the Qara-Khitai and this becomes the capital. By 1212 it rules from the Caspian Sea to Bukhara and Samarkand, eliminating the Qara Khitai and controlling all of modern Iran and, by 1213, Ghurid Afghanistan too.

1218
Tiring of the Chinese campaign, Mongol Great Khan Chingiz sends his general, Chepe, westwards to overthrow the empire of the Qara-Khitaï and annexe its territory. This defeat also opens the way towards Mongol interaction with Khwarazm and Persia.

1220 – 1221
After the shah decapitates the Mongol ambassador from Chingiz Khan, the emirate is attacked twice by Chingiz Khan and the Golden Horde, along with Ghurid Afghanistan. Khwarazm is reduced to its western section covering northern Mesopotamia and western Persia. Bokhara and then Samarkand are captured by the Mongols and chaos results, with thousands being massacred or sold into slavery. Ala ad Deen flees west and dies a fugitive.

1220 – 1231
Jalal al-Din Mingburnu
Son.

1221
The rise of Jalal al-Din Mingburnu poses a challenge for the Mongols. The two sides come together at the Battle of the Indus and Jalal ad-Din is defeated. Khwarazm is occupied between Samarkand and the Indus, and Persia also falls. Jalal al-Din Mingburnu is an exile for a time, but returns to reclaim a reduced Khwarazm which is based around northern Mesopotamia, western Persia, and the lower Caucuses, and is centred on modern Azerbaijan.

1231
The reduced shahdom has been flourishing for a decade since losing its eastern territory, and has even conquered Georgia and Azerbaijan, but now it is completely overrun by a renewed Mongol invasion. Control of the shahdom is inherited by the Il-Khans in Persia. Elements of forces from Khwarazm migrate to Syria where they engage in the battles against the Crusaders in Jerusalem, but also in politics against the Ayyubids In Damascus and Egypt.

1244 – 1245
The forces of Khwarazm sack Christian Jerusalem, and later in the same year Sultan as Salih II Ayyub of Egypt allies himself with the former emirate against Ismail of Damascus. At the Battle of La Forbie, they defeat Ismail and Ayyub is able to reclaim the sultanate for himself. The following year, Ayyub defeats Khwarazm itself for failing to recognise him as its overlord.

1363 – 1370
Khorasan and large areas of Transoxiana are conquered by degrees from 1363 by Timur, who creates his own Timurid dynasty in Persia and Transoxiana, and removes the Chaghatayid khans of Mughulistan from any effective control.

Timurid Transoxiana (in Samarkand)
AD 1369 – 1500

From 1363, Timur began to conquer large areas of Transoxiana and Khorasan, supposedly in the name of the Chaghatayid khans of Mughulistan. Samarkand fell in 1366, and Herat (in the west of modern Afghanistan) by 1381. Timur was recognised as the region’s ruler in 1370. In 1405, the Timurid empire split in two, with the western, Persian, portion being ruled from Herat in southern Khorasan while the eastern portion was governed from Samarkand (technically also in what was known as Greater Khorasan, but the regional name of Transoxiana is usually used to distinguish the two Timurid divisions).

1390s
Khwarazm and its vast irrigation system is destroyed by Timur.

1405
After Timur’s death, none of the Timurid royalty accepts his successor. Timur’s viceroy in Farghana asserts his own independence and rules from Samarkand as if he is the new ruler of the empire.

1405 – 1409
Khalil Sultan
In Transoxiana. Former viceroy of Farghana. Died 1411.

1409
Unpopular with the people and only supported by his father and brother in Azerbaijan, Khalil Sultan’s reign ends when Shah Rukh enters the city on 13 May. Shah Rukh gives Transoxiana and Khorasan to his son as viceroy while he rules the reunited Timurid empire from Herat. Khalil Sultan is given governorship of Ray, where he dies in 1411.

1409 – 1449
Ulugh Beg
Son of Shah Rukh. Viceroy, and Timurid ruler (1447-1449).

1449
Ulugh Beg’s death at the hands of his son, Abd al Latîf, leaves a power vacuum which is filled in central Persia by Sultan Muhammad, while Abd al Latîf rules in Samarkand, now one of three Timurid claimants to overall control (the third being in Herat in southern Khorasan).

1449 – 1450
Abd al Latîf
Son. In Transoxiana.

1450 – 1451
Abdallah / Abdullah
Son of Ibrahim of southern Khorasan. In Transoxiana. Executed.

1450 – 1451
Abu Sa’id, nephew of Ulugh Beg, is one of the claimants for the Timurid crown, along with Abdallah, who seizes Samarkand in 1450. After failures in Samarkand and Bukhara, Abu Sa’id conquers much of Shaibanid Turkestan in 1450, and in June 1451 takes Samarkand with the aid of the Shaibanid Uzbeks.

1451 – 1469
Sultan Abu Sa’id Gurgan
In Transoxiana & Khorasan (and later in Persia too). Executed.

1454
Babur Ibn-Baysunkur invades Transoxiana from Khorasan in retaliation for Abu Sa’id’s seizure of Balkh (now in northern Afghanistan). The two Timurid rulers agree a border on the River Oxus, which remains in force for the remainder of Babur’s lifetime.

1457
Abu Sa’id has Queen Goharshad, the power behind the Timurid throne, executed on 19 July.

1457 – 1459
While southern Khorasan is locked in a power struggle, Abu Sa’id invades. Balkh is occupied but he is unable to take Herat until a Black Sheep invasion defeats the ruler, Ibrahim and then withdraws. Khorasan is taken by Abu Sa’ad, reuniting the remaining Timurid provinces. An attempt by Ibrahim to unite with another Timurid prince, Sultan Sanjar is defeated at the Battle of Sarakhs in March 1459. Sanjar is executed. Ibrahim dies in 1460, and ‘Ala’ al-Daula dies in 1461, ending all opposition to a sole Timurid ruler in Transoxiana.

1461
Abu Sa’id completes his conquest of much of Khorasan and eastern Iran, agreeing with the Black Sheep emir, Jahan Shah, to divide Iran between the two of them.

1467 – 1469
Following the death of the Black Sheep emir at the hands of the White Sheep emir, his son is supported by Abu Sa’id. However, in 1468, the Black Sheep emirate is conquered, and the following year Abu Sa’id is captured in the Azerbaijan mountains on campaign against the White Sheep emirate, and is subsequently executed. The Timurid rule of Transoxiana and Khorasan again fractures. A weakened Transoxiana is now watched over with interest by the growing power of the Shaibanid Uzbeks to the north, especially as it is now sub-divided into Samarkand, Badakshan, and Farghana by Abu Sa’id’s sons.

1469 – 1494
Sultan Ahmad
In Transoxiana.

1494 – 1495
Sultan Mahmud

1495 – 1500
Masud

1494
Far to the east of Khorasan, the Bengal sultan, Shamsuddin Muzaffar Shah, is assassinated by his wazzir, Alauddin Husain Shah, the son of the Afghan Sharif of Makka in Khorasan. Husain is subsequently elected shah by the leading nobles.

1495 – 1504
Babur
Son. In Farghana (Uzbekistan). Expelled by Shaibanid conquest.

1500 – 1507
The Timurids are overthrown by the Shaibanids, who conquer Transoxiana and now threaten Khorasan. The remnants of Khwarazm become an independent Muslim Uzbek state, known as the khanate of Khiva. The Timurid prince, Babur of Farghana makes many attempts to recapture Samarkand from Khorasan, without success.

1511
Following the death of the Shaibanid ruler, Babur is able to recapture Samarkand with Safavid Persian help from his base in Kabul, but is unable to retain it. The Shaibanids re-conquer the city just eight months later.

Khanate of Khiva
c.AD 1511 – 1924

An independent Uzbek state, the capital was at Khiva. Originally an evolution of Khwarazm, by the mid-sixteenth century it was entirely Muslim Uzbek. It flourished in the early nineteenth century until Russian ambitions ended its independence.

1598
From this point, Khiva gradually takes over the former Özbeg empire in Samarkand.

1750
Southern Khorasan is officially renamed Afghanistan by the Durrani dynasty.

1865
Russia takes Bukhara, Tashkent, and Samarkand (all of which go into forming Uzbekistan in 1924).

1873 – 1878
Khiva is conquered by Russia. The khans continue to rule under Russian ‘protection’.

1878
Russia annexes the khanate.

1920 – 1924
Under the imposition of communism in Russia, the territory now comprises the Kwarazem / Khorezm Soviet People’s Republic.

1924
Khiva is divided between the Uzbek SSR and Turkmen SSR

Modern Turkmenistan
AD 1924 – Present Day

Modern Turkmenistan is made up mainly of desert, and has the smallest population of the five Central Asian ex-Soviet republics. Its western border lies on the Caspian Sea. To the north it almost reaches the Aral Sea and is mainly bordered by Uzbekistan, while Iran and Afghanistan fill its southern and south-eastern borders.

The Black Desert region, or Karakum, was home for a while to Indo-European tribes from further north in Central Asia in the third millennium BC. Living here in vast mud-brick fortress citadels, herding cattle, and worshiping fire in rituals controlled by an early form of Brahmin, they also domesticated and worshipped the horse. They were forced southwards by climate change between about 2000-1500 BC, and re-emerged in India as the Aryans who created the first documented states there.

Eastern Turkmenistan once formed part of the Persian satrapy of Bactria, which was invaded by Alexander the Great’s Greek empire, and which became independent in 256 BC. Following that the region was occupied by Indo-Scythians and Tocharians, and was controlled by the Kushans and then the Persian Sassanids. From the end of the tenth century AD it was part of the emirate of Khwarazm, before being divided between the Mongol Il-Khanate and Mughulistan. Timurid Transoxiana claimed it next, and then it formed part of the region of Turkestan which was ruled by the Shaibanid empire in the sixteenth century.

1924
The Soviet-controlled Turkmen SSR is formed by dividing the former khanate of Khiva.

1991
Turkmen SSR achieves independence as the Soviet empire collapses.

Modern Uzbekistan
AD 1924 – Present Day

Positioned on the ancient Silk Road between Europe and Asia, majestic cities such as Bukhara and Samarkand, famed for their architectural opulence, once flourished here as trade and cultural centres. With its capital at Kunya-Urgench, modern Uzbekistan is the most populous Central Asian state with the largest armed forces. Kazakhstan lies to the north, Turkmenistan is to the south, and Tajikistan and Afghanistan lie to the east and south-east.

Southern Uzbekistan once formed part of the Persian satrapy of Bactria, which was invaded by Alexander the Great’s Greek empire, and which became independent in 256 BC. Following that the region was occupied by Indo-Scythians and Tocharians, and was controlled by the Kushans and then the Persian Sassanids. From the end of the tenth century AD it was part of the emirate of Khwarazm, before being divided between the Mongol Il-Khanate and Mughulistan. Timurid Transoxiana claimed it next, and then it formed part of the region of Turkestan which was ruled by the Shaibanid empire in the sixteenth century.

1924
The Soviet-controlled Uzbek SSR is formed by dividing the former khanate of Khiva and incorporating the emirate of Bukhara.

1991
Uzbek SSR achieves independence as the Soviet empire collapses.

Today these wonderous lands stand at a decisive crossroads in history to re-create what I have termed a modern Khorasan, progressive, rich, respectful and at peace. The form could be Cento or ECO integrated through road and rail links, economies interwined, social mobility, modern cities build upon the great old cities.

Like all great movements and civilisations take the great Wars in Europe or the bloody American Civil War as two examples, history has taught us one thing and this is to reflect on her. From her we learn that the peace we are destined and yearn for will not come without great sacrifice and surely without a vision a backbone to a movement, a model, a blue print to restore the balance in these wonderous lands.

This is why we call this vision a Pak Asia – Pak is no synonomous with Pakistan but the language of the people of Khorasan. We seek Central Asia to be a new Khorasan, what form it takes will be a story time will tell.

I took this poem and added a little to it, when I think of Khorasan, the beauty, the splendour, the wealth, the strength, the wisdom I am touched by nostalgia.

Memories of a Khorasan:

Man is foregetful,
But the land, it remembers all,
Each Battle, Each Victory, Each Gain, Each Loss,
Every Birth, Every Death, Every Step & Every Fall,
Memories Engraved in the Wind,
Calling, Beckoning for a Time Long Past,
And to a People Long SEPARATED,
There were days of Glory & Lands Made for Kings,
History and Blood Mixed into stories,
Tales of Conquest and Destruction,
Tales of Peace and Progression,
The victor tells the world what to remember & what to forget,
The victims never realiing what their descendants have lost,
The Losers Legacy and the Victims Heritage no longer sought,
The outline of a faded Empire,
Mirrors the heart of a lost Khorasani, Tajik, Turkic, Pakthun, Persian, Afghan or Mughal,
His heart divided just like his homelands,
Memories fade like the scattered old cities left ruined,
Scattered pieces across Mountains and Waters, across wide plains and borders,
Man has forgotten but YOU should always remember who you were and what we are,
The lands you look over into the distance beyond vision, remains a ghost departed,
If he listens you may hear the great cities Bukhara, Samarqand, Herat, Ghazni, Qabul, Pekhawar and even Lahore talk of thier once lustre,
Colourful as the great people and cultures that stood once as brothers,
Homes of Splendour, physicians, historians, scholars, poets, artists and warriors,
Khorasani do you not want those days to return, of pride and happiness, wealth and strength.
Khorasani do you want your history remembered and those citiesrise up again,
Bukhara, The beauty, The Culture of the lands frequented and overwhelemed by the likes of Avicena, Rudaki, Bukhari, Khayaam and the many more.
Cities of legends – Samarqand a beloved Tuquoise Gem that awed even Alexander The Great. Ancient reign, RECALL your majestic ancient civilisation.
Wonderous Khorasan and it’s many cities, it’s beauty weaves an enchanted spell that can never be forgotten.
Herat – The Pearl of Khorasan, One that shines in the face of peril,
A land of wisdom and laerning, Where literature flourished, In the land of a great Queen of Khorasan.
Ruins of ancient structures hints a time of beauty but virtue,
Lost to the world and forgotten in the eyes of its people,
Khorasani I know you dont forget and keep those beautiful memories close to you,
Balkh, Baktra, Bakteria, Bulkhthi cry out to any of its names and find sanctity in it’s peace and beauty,
Whispers of love and lost like a deep collective sigh, from Rabiya, Daqiqi and Anvari,
The Heart of Rumi beats strongly under it’s earth and yet more so it lives with the sacrifices made by it’s beloved sons.
Qabul, shielded by Mountains that preserved it’s grace and pleasures,
While it suffered and does today it’s soul is noble and will never shastter.
The winds of Qabul engulf you in your stride, majestic and noble taking you to the road to Qandahar.
Qandahar a place of noblemen, fierce and coarse to the univited and humble and warm to the invited.
Panjsheer – The Valley of hope and greatness,
The lands of resistance and beauty in bounty,
These are the Fields, The Mountains and Rivers that creates all that is good in life.
An empire that was megnanamous in nature ad steadfast in enlightenment,

Struggles of Khyber, the tales of it’s valley, mischievious but so elegant and mysterious, like a young man falling in love for the first time,
Domes and Forts of Lahore remind you of furthest frontiers and safeguards missing today across Khorasan,
Her beauty lost in time remains ageless as the dignity of her vast lands,
Who will guard her bounty and dignity today are you not the land of warriors and noblemen, tribal laws and religious etiquette boasted across the lands once,
Has the scent that appeals benevolence wandered too far,
Has the Sun set on this glorious site, What does the heart of a Khorasani say now,
Call upon the act of rememberance deep inside of you, look at what you have lost how it surpasses what you have,
Look at the ashes of a torched Khorasan,
See the ashes as hope of a phoenix awaiting to arise,
Most of all this is Khorasan and all it’s glory and splendour was yours before the world made claim to it,
Brothers stand divided, lost but know in your heart that history beckons you oncemore,

Pakistan is a name synonomous to all people of Khorasan and it is time to rise from the ashes and as acollective build a progressive, modern new Khorasan. In your hearts you know a brother turns his face from the other because of the ill doings of others. Throw down your arms and open your arms to one another. Pak Asia is not synonomous with Pakistan but for each and every one of you. An ideaological vision ad aneed for integration will lead to peace and prosperity.

Rebuilding Khorasan is your destiny like your forefathers did once and it has a prfoundly touching spiritual dimension to it to. What form will an autonomous Khorasan take – only time will tell. History beckons you towards your destiny.

This is what we mean by Pakistan Manzil Nein – Nishan-e-Manzil hain.
Do not be fooled to those opposed to a integrated new modern Khorasan that it’s capitol is Islamabad on the contrary. Khorasan of old had many capitols defined by the different people but happily have a Majlis a communion so matters can be discussed and what fitting place than Bukhara or Samarqand or Herat or even Qabul.
