Last night space session was really amazing. Basically it wasn't about something specific but about everything. From history to ethnicities to scary stories.
However due to some technical problem I couldn't share my grandfather's story about jinns.

Now I thought yahan hi share kar lee. So the story begins when my grandfather was about 20 and very fond of hunting. One night because of some reason he planned to stay at fields and didn't go back to haweli. However near 12 clock the weather changed....

and then a strong strom captured the whole area. During this my grandfather felt something in the room and that thing were jinns and churails in the form of air. Not only this actually the strom was also because of these creatures who were fighting with each other.

Laterly these churails (only females) became friend of my grandfather and this friendship is still continued. Whenever my grandfather goes out of the village or zamindari, these creatures give proper updates to him. Sometimes even come at night and talk for hours.

4/n

However only my grandfather can see them.

There is also another story about my dad but vo phir kisi din sahi

Pakistan faced it's first invasion around 800 BC when Queen Semiramis of Assyrian Empire invaded the country of Indus.

At that time Stabrobates was the King of Indos (Pakistan) who successfully repelled this invasion while Assyria was the most powerful state of world.

According to the accounts of ancient Greek historians Diodorus and Ctesias, the Queen Semiramis “resolved to subjugate the Indos/Pakistanis on hearing that they were the most numerous of all nations, and possessed the largest and most beautiful country in the world”.

To invade Pakistan, two years preparations were made throughout Assyrian Empire - modern day Iraq, Egypt, Turkey and Central Asia. During preparations she realized that her lack of war elephants can cause serious disaster. So she made a very unique plan to avoid this.

Apalala, the Water Dragon of #Gandhara who lived during the time of Buddha was intially saviour of Swat valley but laterly became sign of destruction for his own people.

According to the legend originally he was born as a man named Gangi along the banks of Suvastu/Swat River.

He used subtle charms to restrain the power of the wicked dragons in the region so that they could not afflict the crops with violent storms. The people of his land were grateful for his protection because now their crops were healthy, abundant and save from evil dragons.

Because of his protection for villagers and their crops, people started to pay him tribute by giving grains every year.

However, after many years passed, many forgot or refused to pay the tribute, and Gangi became wrathful.

In 1615, historian Richard M. Eaton quoted, "one observer estimated the Mughal's annual revenue at 120 million silver coins, compared to 45 million for the Ottoman Empire and just 15 million for the neighbouring Iran (Safavid)."

- India in the Persianate Age: 1000-1765, p. 371

Remember here the historian is talking about year of 1615 but by the year of 1700 the Mughal wealth had been increased even more.

In year of 1700 during the era of Aurangzeb, Mughal economy was more than to the combined wealth of Western Asia, Central Asia, North Asia, Southeast Europe, Western Europe and North Africa.

#Mughals

Second time he succeeded to conquer Hindustan after 15 years of his exile to Persia, the Safavid Empire. There is also a famous story associated with Babur's death and Humayun's life.

(Humayun's exile in Persia)

It is stated that at a six month stay at Sambhal in 1530, Humayun fell gravely ill. When he became critical he was brought to Agra where all the physicians of the city could not help him improve. It was suggested that a great charity should be made so that Humayun may get better.
