Koshani people lived near Takhar Province and have little
relations with the great city of Balkh. Because this area was a
battleground for attacks by central Asian nations, the people
moved constantly. Each village had its own leader and each lived
according to its own rules until the Koshani leader succeeded in
brining all leaders under his command and thus the Koshani kingdom
is born.
King
Kajola Kadfezis for the first time crosses the mighty Hindu Kush
and captures Kabul, His eastern campaigns rewards him with capture
of Khorasan and after the fall of
Greek
Bakhters, the Koshani Kingdom by year 78AD became the most
powerful force in Afghanistan
Kajola
Kadfezis II expanded the empire by capturing northern India and
there after travels up to China to capture the now famous silk
road. China, which had fought hard to establish this rout, fought
hard and defeated the Koshani armies and forced them to pay annual
suffrage to the Chinese Government.
According
to afghanland.com sources, By
120 a new King emerges amongst the Koshanis by the name of
Kanishka.
Kanishka immediately moves his capital city from north of Hindu
Kush to south. Bagram is the site for the summer and Peshawer the
winter capital of the Koshani Period.
He captures the North Eastern Part of the country and with
reinforcements captures the Turkistan region, which was ruled by
the Chinese rulers.
Philosophers,
religious leaders, artists, musicians begin to flourish in
Afghanistan. Tabla, Flute, Robob, and Dohlak are used for their
dances. Special Costumes are created such as Baggy pants and long
boots for men and long dresses, baggy pants and jewelry around
their neck and hair braided on two sides were the customs of the
women.
Waswadwa
was the last king of the Koshani Empire who is killed in220 at a
campaign to capture more land in India, and thus ends 180 years of
Koshani rule in Afghanistan. Afghanistan begins to fade and is
divided into many local jurisdictions, each far weak to unite the
country once more. |
