	SWAT - LoveToKnow Article on SWAT
		The ancient name of the river was Suastos,andthat of the Panjkora was Ghoura, under which names they figure in the history of Alexanders campaign.

		The upper valley is closely gripped between mountain spurs stretching southwards from the Hindu Koh, rising to 15,000 ft. on one side and 19,000 ft. on the other, leaving but a narrow space between their rugged summits and the banks of the river.

		The latter are mostly settled in the Mardan Sub-Division of the Peshawar District in British territory, and we shall only be concerned in this paper with a few of them who occupy a fringe of the hilly country on the northern border of the Swabi Tehsil.
		All these sections are divided into numerous sub-sections of which I need only mention the powerful Malizai, a sub-section of the Akozai, who occupy practically the whole of the main Panjkora valley and must not be confused with the Malizai of Buner.
		Possessing a large individual estate and exercising a certain amount of control over the whole of the Malizai in the Panjkora valley, the Khan of Dir has often extended his authority over neighbouring tracts and in particular over the country occupied by other Akozai sections on the right bank of the Swat river.

	The Story of the Malakand Field Force - An Episode of Frontier War by Winston Churchill eBook by BookRags
		The convoy of sick and wounded was to be escorted as far as the Panjkora River by the Royal West Kent, who were themselves in need of some recuperation.
		To campaign in India without tents is always a trial to a British regiment; and when it is moved to the front from some unhealthy station like Peshawar, Delhi, or Mian Mir, and the men are saturated with fever and weakened by the summer heats, the sick list becomes long and serious.
		As soon, therefore, as Sir Bindon Blood saw that the Mamunds were desirous of peace, and that no further operations against them were probable, he sent one of his British regiments to their tents near the Panjkora.

	Richard Strand's Nuristân Site: Iranian-Speaking Peoples of the Hindu Kush
		It is typical of these peoples to claim that they are paxt'un but not afG'ân, as I myself have verified for MïwâNi tribesmen in upper Kunar.
		In the 15th and 16th centuries A.D the Khâkhay branch of Afghâns, which includes the Yusufzay and TarkâNi tribes, intruded into the Laghmân, Swât and Panjkora Basins, displacing the indigenous Indo-Aryan speakers of those regions.
		The spread of the Pashto language and culture toward the northeast resulted as much from the adoption of Pashto by peoples who formerly spoke other languages as from the invasions of Pashto-speaking Afghâns.
