History of South Asia –
South Asia includes the contemporary political entities of the Indian subcontinent and associated islands.
Therefore, its history includes the histories of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Afghanistan, Bhutan, and the island nations of Sri Lanka and the Maldives.

The recorded history of Lahore , the second largest city-district of Pakistan, covers thousands of years.
Originally the capital and largest city of the Punjab region, it has since its creation changed hands from Jain, Hindu, Buddhist, Greek, Muslim, Mughal, Afghan, Sikh and the British, thereby becoming the cultural capital and the heart of modern-day Pakistan.
