    Mr kurram. Please dont drink the cool aid from government. Real history is that Abdali attack India 8 times around 1748-1767. Afghan and mughal were never friends and never ruled togather. If they ruled togather then why abdali attack 8 times his own Muslim brothers? Ranjit Singh came and defeated abdali's grandson tamur when tamur attacked lahore in 1797 and created khalsa raj. Where sikh hindu and muslims all lived in peace. Because of that khalsa raj was the richest in Indian subcontinent at that time. He was always against the British colonialism. Britain made peace treaty with him because they were afraid of napolean attack India through Punjab. 80% of the population of this khalsa raj were educated. By far more then any place in Indian subcontinent. All religion have freedom to worship and flourish. He even build mosques. He was never against any religion but he was against the invaders. We call him sher e Punjab for this reason. By building jamrud fort he officially blocked afgan from attacking Indian subcontinent. I wish one day we as a humans live together with love and peace on this earth. May God give everyone the wisdom.

    The Jamrud Fort is located beside Bab-e-Khyber at the entrance to the Khyber Pass from the Peshawar side in the tribal districts of KPK, Pakistan. In October 1836, Jamrud was lost by the Afghan Durrani Empire and conquered by the Sikh Empire. Sardar Hari Singh Nalwa (1791-1837), the well-known Sikh general, proposed to build a big fort at Jamrud. The proposal was opposed; nevertheless the foundation of the fort that has survived was laid by General Hari Singh Nalwa on 6 Poh 1893 Sambat (18 December 1836) and the construction was completed in 54 days. "Jamrud...noted for its fort built with 10 feet (3 m) thick walls c.1836 by the Sikh Hari Singh Nalwa, one of Ranjit Singh's generals, was originally named Fatehgarh to commemorate the Sikh victory over the disunited tribes." Early in 1837, the Sandhawalia Jat ruler Maharaja Ranjit Singh's (1790-1839) grandson, Prince Nau Nihal Singh, was to be married. Hari Singh Nalwa sent his forces to Lahore for this historic celebration. At this time, Mr Fast, an Englishman, previously in the service of the British India Government, passed through Jamrud on his way to Kabul. En route he encountered Mohammad Akbar Khan, son of Dost Mohammad Khan. When Akbar Khan learnt that the fort at Jamrud was unprotected, he decided to attack. The battle between the Afghans and the Sikhs was fought on 30 April 1837. The loss suffered in this battle by the Sikhs was indeed heavy. Hari Singh Nalwa had sent out an appeal for help to the Maharaja to dispatch reinforcements from Lahore post haste, however his letter was not forwarded to the Maharaja by the Dogra chiefs. Reinforcements could not reach in time and Nalwa laid down his life in the battlefield.

    Hari Singh was Chief of army staff General of Sardar Ranjit Singh a rebel in afghania province after he added the looter 12 misalchis Punjabis tribes of GT road situated in punjab area under Afghan kings , under khalsa to form a rebel kingdom of Rangit Singh under British East Indian company patronage as proteges , Sardar ranjit Singh was actually made governor of Lahore by Pashton king of India Ahmad shah abdali Durrani and by his sons Taimoor shah Durrani by a fatal mistake as he helped them recover some artillery pieces from river in service of Durrani joint kings of India and Afghanistan with Mughals in 1801 as Afghania province extended from Kabul to Delhi and was one of.12 provinces of India subcontinent so large it.included Afghanistan + Pakistan + India + Bangladesh as Indian sub continent before Brittish Raj in 1857 , under Durrani Afghan kings and Mughals as joint rule over Indian subcontinent before Durrand line 1893 .. Sardar Ranjit Singh 1801-1837 rebeled under patronage of East India company training and finances that provided , 15 british / European officers to Ranjit Singh to make and train his Army of Punjabis under Hari Singh Nalawa his chief of army that would fight the Pashtons .. Sardar Ranjit Singh wanted to block access of Pashon ruler of India from Afghanistan via Khyber Pass , hence the Hari Singh nalwa was sent here to make small fort which sikh claims that made in 90 days which is a lie and laughable considering the huge size of the fort and it's constructions and is one is.many lies propagated by the Punjabis sikh as this fort was made already as it situated on Sher shah Suri / GT road right on its edge was present as 5000 year old mound and they just repaired it to thier advantage , to block the Khyber Pass which is a gate known as Bab I Khyber right next to it , to block the Durrani Pashton and also Afghan Mughals who both came from Afghanistan to rule India for 1000 years from 800-1857 ... Sardar Ranjit Singh a sikh rebel of small area of Punjab from atock to Lahore a tiny insignificant "Punjabi state "" , in area of Afghania province of Indian subcontinent , made an agreement with British Raj to survive called "Amritsar agreement" to not to fight British and only fight the Pashtons and serve the British interest ... But Ranjit Singh army was completely destroyed serving the British interest as thier " Loyal puri "subjects and slaves , by the Pakhtons here in Peshawar Pakhtunkhwa Afghanistan area and Hari Singh Nalwa was killed here in Jamrood by a single Yousafzai soldier who was under command of Afghan Durrani king of India Amir Sher Ali khan ( Burried in Wazir Bagh Peshawar with his queen in Durrani GraveYard as son of Ahmad Shah abdali and grand sons of mughal princes who married Ahmad shah abdali ) via an arrow that hit him while riding a horse at this same spot as his grave / Ashes lie seen here in picture with his burnt Ashes still lying here , and his body was cremated right here according to Sikh traditions .. But definitely a historical land mark and also a place of interest for the Sikhs of India and Pakistan and the department of Archeology of Peshawar should take over the "Jamrod fort" Peshawar and turn it into a tourist attraction as it can attract a lot of attentions and people can know it's history as currently it is with Pakistan Army and not.open to public and this place is going to ruins and totally neglected and waste shamefully ..
