This is Asad Muhammad Khan’s grand daughter and he has asked me to inform you that the reply to the post you sent him has been sent to your e-mail address, as it is rather difficult for him to communicate through post. You can contact him at his e-mail adress which is amk004@hotmail.com and inform him of whatever data you may need for your thesis. My e-mail address: hunzi92@hotmail.com

Mazhar Sherwani Saheb.

I will be very happy to help you out in this matter. But, Sherwani Sb! I must tell you the truth, I am not a research scholar. I am just a story writer.
As a student I met ‘my first Sherwani’… Prof Sherwani of Hamidia College, Bhopal (Central India). Prof Sherwani taught us English (year 1950). A teacher with a very graceful and noble look.
Then, as a visiting writer, at the Aligarh Univ, I met the same Prof Sherwani Sb in the year 1965. Naturally he was older and more graceful.
In the year ‘67 I met a certain writer Sherwani Sb at the Press Club, Delhi. All the Sherwanis I have met had noble, graceful and honest looks. They were polite and attentive too.
I am happy to have met them. And I am happy to communicate with YOU.
Further,(the late)Dr. Hussain Khan of the Peshawar Univ.(he was the head of History Deptt.)has done tremendous work on the Pathan Kings, particularly, Sher Shah Suri.
Perhaps you may drop a letter or two, to the DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY, Peshawar University. Pakistan. Perhaps some scholar or scholars at the Deptt will help you out Surely they will guide you.
Thanks for your patience. Asad M . K.
