Aryans started settling in northern Pakistan all the way to Jhelum in the second millennium BC. These people changed the whole history of the area. For the first time the aryans were mentioned by archaemenian ruler darius (522-486 BC). One group of aryans settled in the areas between Kashmir and chitral which has linguistic affinity and their languages are called dardic languages.

Other tribes settled in definite areas, like pancha kuru settled in dir on the bank of panchkora (pancha kuru → depicting the five sub tribes of kuru). This tribe formed the madra tribe and settled in Punjab giving rise to madrapur (madrakur of alberuni, now known as Lahore). Puru tribe lived between Jhelum and Chenab. Druhyu tribe lived in Potohar plateau. It is again the kuru tribe which fought the war of kurukshetra at the bank of Ravi. The Mahabharata war resulted in the formation of territorial kingdoms, the most important of which were gandhara, sindhu sauvira (rohri the capital) in the south and sauvira (modern seriaki belt with multan as capital).

Kurkshetra is on the Bank of Ravi? isn’t Kurkshetra near Delhi?

Strange that Al-Beruni (died in 1048 AD) calls Lahore Madrakur, as reference to Anandpal (ruled in 1010 AD) has been referred as Hakim e Lahur
