70 Kandhar Visit I One on whom Guru Nanak showers his hrrace gets eternal happiness. When Sikander invaded India, his idea was that he should make one region from Greece to India includinglndia and make it his kingdom. That is why he went on capturing territory after territory and made them habitable towns for Greeks to occupy and live and at some places he constructed forts so that he may go on advancing further. Some historians have said that the city ofKandhar in Afghanistan is one such place. From Hiraat up to India this is a very strategic place for a fort. Whether Sikander made it habitable or it was already flourishing but to make a fortress here was Sikander's plan. For centuries this town flourished with its hrreen fields that were moneyspinners. Later, Nadir invaded this town and made it a base fort to keep his plundered treasures. When Nadir was assassinated, then Ahmed Shah Abdali seized this territory as well as the treasure. He proclaimed himself the King and constructed anew town at a little distance and made itthe capital. Ahmed Shah constructed the present Kandhar town that has a crossing in the centre and the four roads divide the town in four parts. The old Kandhar town is at a little distance now in ruins. It is nearly five centuries when this Kandhar that is in ruins was a flo urishing town. The town was hustling and bustling and happy crowds thronged when a 'King of peace' invaded this town. He was not a tyrant invader to seize forts and fight unprovoked and unwarranted bloody battles and occupy territories. Nor he established supremacy by threat and force. This' valiant won the hearts and was called 'King of freedom' because he gave freedom to bonded hearts. He made the mind free from the trap of worldly desires and connected it to Page 264 www.sikhbookclub.com

He went and stood in front of a house where a handsome young Mughal came out. The moment he came out his eyes met the wondrous eyes. He was dazed and his hurriedly moving steps stopped.

Isn't it? Mughal (in his mind): 0 Yar Wali, till you were reading the scripture the law of the scriptures had to be reckoned.
