Introduction

Bannu was traversed by the raids of Mahmud Ghaznavi in the early 11th century A.D. and in the century of chaos which followed, was colonized by the Afghan tribe called Bannudi or Bannuwal, who still occupy part of the district to which the name was given. Taimoor is said to have crossed Bannu for his massive raid on the Punjab and Dehli in 1398.
