Archaeologists Discover Ancient Indo-Greek City in Pakistan







Italian and Pakistani Archaeologists have discovered large layers of an Indo-Greek city with weapons, coins and pottery forms, in Barikot, Pakistan, according to a Dawn report. Barikot was called Bazira in ancient times, a city captured by Alexander the Great during his advance to India. Dr. Luca Maria Olivieri, head of the Italian Archaeological Mission in Pakistan, told Dawn that during their recent excavation in April-June they unearthed some very important discoveries in Barikot, in the Swat river valley. Excavations at Barikot are funded by the Pakistan-Italian Debt Swap Program. “Very little is known in the archaeology of the sub-continent about the material culture of the Indo-Greek. However, this time we discovered at Barikot ample layers associated not only to the Indo-Greek city (when the settlement was encompassed by the Defensive Wall, 2nd century BC), but also to the pre-Greek city, the Mauryan settlement (3rd century BC),” Olivieri told Dawn. The archaeologist also said that during the excavations it was discovered that all pre-Greek layers were destroyed along the Defensive Wall at the time of its construction, to make space for the fortification, revealing conspicuous traces of the Iron Age village (7th century BC).

Pakistan Did A Surprisingly Inspiring Thing, Made Marriage To A Transgender Legal Under Islam





At least 50 clerics have issued a fatwa (religious decree) this Sunday stating that Pakistan has legalised marriage with a transgender person.
lerics affiliated with Tanzeem Ittehad-i-Ummat that said that transgender person with “visible signs of being a male” can marry a woman or a transgender with “visible signs of being a female” and vice versa, Dawn reported. However, a transgender person with “visible signs of both genders” can not marry anyone.

Further, the fatwa addressed robbing transgender people of their share in inheritance, making it unlawful - parents deprive their transgender sons/daughters of inheritance were “inviting the wrath of God”. The clerics called upon the government to take action against such parents. To make the fatwa socially acceptable, the clerics then termed "haram" (against the word of God) any act intended to “humiliate, insult or tease” them. Even last rites ceremonies for transgenders would be the same as for any other Muslim man or woman.
