Chronology of Ancient India: The Era of the Kushan King Kanishka
Gondophares is followed fairly clearly by Abdagases , Sarpadnaes, and Sases (and possibly others). This date is also supported by other evidence, and is the majority view (Cribb, 1997: 224; Alram, 1999: 38) but there are dissenting voices who would be willing to place Gondophares nearly 50 years earlier (Senior, 2004: 5). http://www.kushan.org/essays/chronology/kanishka.htm
VOGELSANG, Willem (2002) The Afghans, Oxford, Blackwell
This information, plus the Chinese annals, suggest that Kujula Kadphises took the Kabul valley from the Indo-Parthians under Gondophares and his successor, Abdagases , whose coins are also widely found in this part of the world. He was a close contemporary of Gondophares , since his coins are often overstrikes of those of the Indo-Parthian king from south of the Hindu Kush.

From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Some failures lead to phenomenal successes, and this American nurse's unsuccessful attempt to climb K2, the world's second tallest mountain, is one of them. Dangerously ill when he finished his climb in 1993, Mortenson was sheltered for seven weeks by the small Pakistani village of Korphe; in return, he promised to build the impoverished town's first school, a project that grew into the Central Asia Institute, which has since constructed more than 50 schools across rural Pakistan and Afghanistan. Coauthor Relin recounts Mortenson's efforts in fascinating detail, presenting compelling portraits of the village elders, con artists, philanthropists, mujahideen, Taliban officials, ambitious school girls and upright Muslims Mortenson met along the way. As the book moves into the post-9/11 world,... Ghost Wars: The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan, and bin Laden, from the Soviet Invasion to September 10, 2001

Afghanistan History History

Located just northwest of the modern day India, Afghanistan has long served as the northwestern border and gateway for the Indian civilization. Various Indian emperors have ruled the region over the last 3,000 years and its close relations with the rest of India have been well documented by historians. The Hindukush Mountains in the west and Himalayas in the north and northeast served as the borders for India; Afghanistan was an integral part of the Indian kingdoms at various times during its history. In the fourth century B.C.E., Taxila and Kandahar formed important centers of commerce and education for the empire of Ashoka the Great. In fact, Taxila was one of the first universities to be founded in India. In those days, the entire region of today's Afghanistan and northern Pakistan was called Gandhar, after which an important stream of Indian art painting and sculptures has been named. The area was also an important center for Buddhism in its early days and several ancient statues of Buddha and other artifacts of Buddhism are still found in the region.

    Afghanistan
    HISTORY
    Afghanistan, often called the crossroads of Central Asia,
    has had a turbulent history. In 328 BC, Alexander the
    Great entered the territory of present-day Afghanistan,
    then part of the Persian Empire, to capture Bactria
    (present-day Balkh). Invasions by the Scythians, White
    Huns, and Turks followed in succeeding centuries. In AD 642, Arabs invaded the entire region and introduced Islam. Arab rule quickly gave way to the Persians, who controlled the area until conquered by the Turkic Ghaznavids in 998. Mahmud of Ghazni (998-1030) consolidated the conquests of his predecessors and turned Ghazni into a great cultural center as well as a base for frequent forays into India. Following Mahmud's short- lived dynasty, various princes attempted to rule sections of the country until the Mongol invasion of 1219. The Mongol invasion, led by Genghis Khan, resulted in the destruction of many cities, including Herat, Ghazni, and
