My great grandmother's family migrated first to Bombay and then to Peshawar from Iraq under the British Raj. I suspect ours was one of the very few Jewish families in NWFP. My great grandmother ended up marrying a local Hindu man and thus subsequently the family moved back to present day India again upon the partition of the country. I don't know much about my family's history in Peshawar but do know that they lived there for around 10 years in the 1920s. Watching this video opens up a world that I would dearly want to explore but haven't yet. One day, maybe I'd be able to see my great grandmother and great grandfather's house in Peshawar.
What a fascinating comment and tale. What was the reason for the migration to Peshawar ? I can only imagine there were very very few Jewish people in that area at that time (although perhaps more than today). At that time, it would not have, ethnically and tribally, been very different from today - primarily Pashtun tribes. And when your great grandmother fled from Iraq under the British Raj, had she fled from a Jewish community there ? Do you still have, perhaps, extended family in Iraq ?
Well you can type Khyber pass or Peshawar on RUclips you can see how it is today, plenty of tourist visiting Peshawar and doing vlogs there, im planning to visit there but im more intrested in the far north of pakistan, the famous hunza valley probably the best valley in the world
I visited it in 2018 and the floods had destroyed the train track. I think it was later restored and the safari trains are on the move again. I still have about two weeks left in Pak, so a good idea to visit it again
Our family was from Lahore before Partition. My Maternal grandfather ( Nanaji) servd as assistant station master at Landi kotal. He used to tell us real life experiences at Railway Station. Whatever I see in this video corroborates his life and daily routine at Landi Kotal. We , as a child used to listen interesting facts about life at remote places. He also remained at Pasrur, Daska, Mandi Bahudin, Sialkot. After partition he was posted at Ferozpur City in India. The lifestyle of people seems same today. very well made video. Thanks and Congratulations to makers. Old memories rekindled.
I am still living here. It changed alot. Specialy in last 20 years. As government continues did search operation, so there is no more drug and guns. The railway tracks is badly effected by floods. Because of it i never seen train on this tracks nearly for 20 years. I am not good in english but i hope everyone understood. In the last of video train is passing through 2 tunnels. At the end of the video, the train is passing through 2 tunnels, our house is just across these tunnels.
I and my husband, just after our wedding visited Landi Kotal, we were young and filled with a sense of adventure, we roamed around the bazaar and had the most delecious chapli kebobs, the people were so loving and friendly, I still remember that visit!

Showing the Historic Khyber pass in your video is an opportunity for every one to see the Historical place through which many expeditions took place from the west to the East , not only that Preachers also have brought their respective Religion and its Holy Text to the East through the KHYBER PASS . Thank you very much for your Histrical video .
@aditya_sharma1 khyber pass was the part of Afghanistan and then tribal belt you surrounded to British and we were independent we pashton fought 15 wars against brits and you remained loyal to them stay away from us
Great Video, as others have said here I wonder if this train is still running today. If you could even visit and take this same journey today. This was before 911 so things have surely changed. But still cool to see
Don't think the tourist train runs anymore and it's out of bounds now for foreigners, but they do have regular train service to Peshawar nowadays. Just search for 'Peshawar train', there are a few videos available....

@@JanKhan-fx3ei Thank you. I would not go there alone, not now, but perhaps one day in the future, all people could show their homage to this delightful piece of history
There's no rule there. One of the tribesmen from here founded the entire concept of Heroin trade He lives freely here but passed away few years ago. Here no government rules. Truly a land of the free
After more thn 2decade I'm sure that's there absolutely same like here, nothing change or devlopment in this Bekaristan. 🇵🇰😂🤩 God save Bekaristan and it people's 🇵🇰..
I remember changing currency in Peshawer. We met one of the local warlords. It was terrifying. This video is good, but doesn't do the Hindu Kush justice. Perhaps that's not possible.
Hindu Kush means exactly what the narrator said in this video. It can further be explained as a killer mountain for ones coming from India to Afghanistan. It probably means ruggedness of the terrain and ferocity of Pashtuns of this area.
