I think Khorasan’s borders kept on changing. It seems more to be a loose name based upon cultural affinity, like Hindustan.

In any case Bukhara, Samarkand, Gillan and other places have had a big impact on the subcontinent. Other areas of Afghanistan (like Kabul & South Eastern parts) and Indian Sub continent were brought to Islam by the sufis coming from these areas.

Faisalabadis are unique, their accent is different as compared to the rest in Punjab.

yes... :)
Re: The cities and places they lived
Sohni Mehwal.. while mehwal was a trader from Bukhara.. There are different versions where Sohni belonged.
**
- the story literally took place in 1732 near a village Ruliala, some 18 kilometres east of Gujrat near Jalalpur Jattan, which was devastated by the curse of Sohni.**
**
2. The locals of Kunjah believed that Sohni came from Kunjah**
Whatever the correct place, the story belongs to Gujarat.

Something interesting about Gujarat:**
ass the River Chanab and one starts thinking of romantic folklore Sohni Mahiwal, the last and decisive battle fought between British and Sikh forces, the saints who left their marks in this part of the world, micro encephalic children called 'Daulay Shah k Choohay’ (rats of Shah Daula) or world class industries that are Gujrat’s claims to fame. But what you see while travelling on Grand Trunk Road passing through Gujrat is the nerve jarring rattle of auto rickshaws, tangle of tongas and donkey carts vying for space with mechanical transport, vendors and shoppers and second hand cloths (landa) hung on the walls. Even the lately built bypass is as crowded and encroached upon.
History has it that Gujrat was founded by Bacchan Pal who migrated from the Ganga valley and settled in Jhelum and Chenab corridor in 460 BC. Later, Raja Bhadar Sen’s wife Rani Gujjran rebuilt the old city and gave it the name of Gujjar Nagar but General Cunningham I of the opinion that Ali Khan who was the chief of the Gujjar clan rebuilt Gujjar Nagar that was later destroyed by Shankar Verma between 888 and 901 AD. Mehmood Ghaznavi during his sixth attempt also invaded and destroyed the city. Gujrat was again rebuilt by Bhalole Lodhi in 1453 AD.
During Mughal era, King Akbar laid the foundation for Gujrat city in 1580 and appointed Dasnat Roy and Wazir Khan Mughal to supervise the construction work. Another historian Ganesh Das Wadera in his book Chahar Bagh Punjab says that Gujrat was founded in 1589 and Nadir Shah destroyed the city in 1738. Ahmed Shah Durrani subdued Gujrat in 1741 and appointed Muqarrab Khan as its governor. After that Kaka Singh, Charhat Singh and Gujjar Singh ruled Gujrat from 1765 to 1787. Mahraja Ranjit Singh, the Sikh ruler of Punjab, captured Gujrat in 1810 and carried out some renovation in the city in 1835.
