Abstract
Patkhlae, the heartland of Hazārah, has been changing hands from time to time. In about the
middle of the fourteenth AD or a little earlier, the exact date is not known but it must be
placed before Amīr Tīmūr’s invasion of India (AD 1398- 99), it fell into the hands the Tājik
Gibari Sulṭān Pakhal; hence its name pakhlae, Sulṭān Pakhal’s father, was named Sulṭān
Jahāngīr; hence the dynastic title Jahāngīrian. All Jahāngīrian Sulṭāns of Swāt were
descendants of Sulṭān Jahāngīr. An attempt has been made to bring into limelight for the
lovers of history, historians, researchers and academicians this almost forgotten chapter of
the history of the region.
