Gandhar could be either Kandhar of modern day afghanistan or Gandhara civilization:)

The first text of Hinduism was Manusmiriti, Maharaja Manu was King of DravidDesh, His story is similar to Noah of Ark:)

No, Vedas originated before writing was discovered while Mahabharat came much later, it is last of Hindu text after organized writing was discovered it itself mentioned that it was spoken by VedVyas and written by Bhagwan Ganesh.

So what was the history behind Vedas? When was it written?

I personally think gandhar is from gandhara, which was spread throughout northern Pakistan and Afghanistan (which could also include Kandahar) as gandhara seems to have played a big role in Vedic times, it really took off in 1 century Ad under the Kushans.
