Kuza Bandai

"Meadow" on account of their greenery and "upper" or "lower" referring to the distance of the villages from either Mingora, Saidu Sharif or the mountainous areas of Swat.After entering the subcontinent through the Himalayas, Alexander came to Swat, where his army rested for two days on the left bank of the river in Kuza Bandai.Ruins of ancient homes and small buildings built by Buddhists can be found in the mountains of Kuza Bandai and other nearby villages.After the defeat King Akbar [citation needed] made peace with the Yusufzais by establishing a personal relationship with Malik Ahmad Khan.The operation was planned to be completed in six weeks, but lingered on for six months and eventually resulted in a defeat for the British as the 35th Sikh regiment lost the defining battle with heavy casualties.As he was a syed [citation needed](a man from a holy race), no Pakhtun tribe wanted to go against him, leaving Swat a princely state.
