SWAT (Sweetzerland of the East)

SWAT (Sweetzerland of the East) Swat state of pakistan. It is the upper valley of the Swat River, which rises in the Hindu Kush range. The language spoken in the valley is Pashto/Pakhto.

Swat (pronounced [ˈsʋaːt̪], Pashto: سوات) is a valley and an administrative district in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, located close to the Afghan-Pakistan border. The capital of Swat is Saidu Sharif, but the main town in the Swat valley is Mingora. It was a princely state in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa until it was dissolved in 1969. With high mountains, green meadows, and clear lakes, it is a place of

great natural beauty and is popular with tourists as "the Switzerland of the East". The names found in ancient Indian sources for Swat are Udyana and Suvastu because of the scenic beauty of the valley and the name of the river respectively - although those names were foreign terms not used in the region. Swat has been inhabited for over two thousand years. The first inhabitants were settled in well-planned towns. In 327 BC, Alexander the Great fought his way to Udegram and Barikot and stormed their battlements. In Greek accounts these towns have been identified as Ora and Bazira. Around the 2nd century BC, the area was occupied by Buddhists, who were attracted by the peace and serenity of the land. The originator of the present family of Swat was the Muslim saint Abdul Ghafoor, the Akhund of Swat. He was a pious man and the people respected him so greatly that they called him AKHUND SAHIB.It was the mid-19th century when Muslim tribes were fighting against each other for the possession of Swat Valley. On the intervention of the honourable Akhund Sahib, the killing was stopped, and such was his influence that the chiefs of all tribes unanimously made him the ruler of the valley. Akhund Sahib administrated the valley according to Muslim laws. Peace and tranquility prevailed, and agriculture and trade flourished in the territory.
