The twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad lie against the backdrop of Margalla Hills on the Pqtohar plateau. On the basis of archaeological discov- eries, archaeologists believe that a distinct culture flourished on this plateau as far back as 3,000 years.HistoryThe material remains found on the site of the city of Rawalpindi prove the existence of a Buddhist establishment contemporary to Taxila but less celebrated than its neighbour. It appears that the ancient city went into obliv!on as a result of the Hun devastation. The first Muslim inyader, Mahmood of Ghazni (979- 1030 AD), gifted the ruined city to a Gakkhar Chief, Kai Gohar. The town, how- ever, being on invaders' route, coUld not prosper and remained deserted until Jhanda Khan, another Gakkhar Chief, restored it and gave the name of Rawalpindi after the village Rawal in 1493 AD. Rawalpindi remained under the rule of Gakkhars till Muqarrab Khan, the last Gakkhar ruler, was defeated by Sikhs in 1765 AD. Sikhs invited traders from other places to settle here. This brought the city into prominence. Sikhs lost the city to British in 1849 AD. It then became the General Headquarters of British Army and they established a Qantonment south of the old city. In 1879, the Punjab Northern Railway was added to to Rawalpindi but the train service was formally inaugurated on January 01,1886.Over the years, Rawalpindi has retained its traditional flavour. However, some modern residential areas and buildings have come up allover the town since the creation of Pakistan. Pakistan's new capital, Islamabad being the twin city of Rawalpindi, equally shares the same archaeological and historical back- ground.Sir Khawaja died in 1964, aged 70.
