Re: Any Janjua's on Gupistan!!!!!!
Moreove, I don't see any inconsistancy in his satement as for as legnth of dynasty versus number of generations is concerned.
Remember, he says last Turk Shah after the capital had been shifted from Kabul to Waihind, was Lagaturman. Obviously, Lagaturman continued before Kallar Brahmin took over. Even if we assume, Kallar started his reign by about 870 AD when Saffarids took Kabul, still 7 Shahs ruling from 870 till 1026 (156 years) is a convincing estimation. (Taking the standard 3 generations per century, 5 generations are required).
Not quite bro, Kallar began his rule from 843, which means actually that the 158 years is between 5 Shahs (between Kallar up to Jayapala 1001AD.) If we leave the last three (anandpal, tirlochanpal and BhimPal Shah) 25yrs till Bhimpal Shah's death.
Besides, the view of him being incorrect with the length of kings is not just mine, but Dr Abdur Rehman's view also, who researched all of this strenuously in the late 70's into the 80's.
But I see that your main point is to correct the Kabul issue (because my last post has already stated that Kandahar was recorded as the country of the Rajput. ) But it is clearly recorded though that Kabul was under Bhimpala's control when Alaptagin began to threaten his Kingdom and overtook Kabul and defeated the Lawiks. Bhimpala had sent a larger army with the Lawik and they ousted the Turk new king Abu Ishaq Ibrahim from Kabul, in 963AD (last 2 dynasties of the Sahis, p127/128)
It was a year later that Jayapal Shah took over from Bhim Dev'a death.
Which part of this are you disputing exactly bro?
Im not sure if your book ''The Afghans'' Olaf Caroe, will go into as much detail as some works regarding this dynasty.
