  • Religious and Cultural Tourism to the Ancient Gandhara Region Promotes Multiculturalism, Interfaith Harmony and Peace
    ALFP e-magazine issue 6: Migration and Multicultural Coexistence Religious and Cultural Tourism to the Ancient Gandhara Region Promotes Multiculturalism, Interfaith Harmony and Peace Fazal Khaliq (Pakistan) Reporter, Dawn Media Group / Cultural Activist / ALFP 2017 Fellow The Gandhara region in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan was the center of multicultural and multi-religious activities, and people of diverse cultures lived there in harmony about 2000 years ago. Followers of different religions and cultures like Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism, Persian, Greek and Roman faiths lived peacefully. A place where the concept of religious harmony emerged and developed, Gandhara became the first perfect model of multicultural coexistence on the globe, according to archeologists and cultural experts. The region was also a busy center of educational, religious, cultural and trade activities between South Asia, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and Europe with a continuous stream of people migrating in and out of it. The infusion of ideas helped Gandharan art achieve a matchless identity with its diversity and sublime themes. In short, we can claim that Gandhara was the first region to have international influences of globalization with business and other activities. Today, parts of the Gandhara region in Pakistan, including Taxila, Peshawar, Charsadda, Mardan, Swat, Buner, Malakand and Dir, contain thousands of sacred archaeological remains of immense importance for Buddhists, Hindus, Persians, Greeks and Romans, as well as Muslims, and people from across the world want to visit the area to view the sites. View of a Buddhist stupa and complex at Amlook Dara, Swat (Photo by the author) © 2020 International House of Japan and Japan Foundation ALFP e-magazine issue 6: Migration and Multicultural Coexistence However, due to a lack of awareness and misguided religious beliefs, local Muslim communities consider the archeological remains as mere ruins or structures that provide them no benefits.

October–December 2016—Volume 131, pp. 889–896 http://dx.doi.org/10.5248/131.889 Phaeocollybia pakistanica sp. nov., the first representative of the genus from Pakistan Junaid Khan1*, Hassan Sher1 & Abdul Nasir Khalid2 1Center for Plant Sciences and Biodiversity, University of Swat, Pakistan 2Department of Botany, University of the Punjab, Quaid-e-Azam Campus-54590, Lahore, Pakistan * Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract—A new species of Phaeocollybia, P. pakistanica, is described that represents the first record of the genus from Pakistan. Diagnostic characters include purplish red to brownish red pilei, lilaceous gills, a monopodial radicating cartilaginous stipe, small ellipsoidal verruculose brown spores, and thin-walled subcapitate cheilocystidia. ITS-nrDNA sequence analyses support P. pakistanica as an independent new species. Key words—Agaricomycetes, Hymenogastraceae, coniferous forest, pseudorhiza, Swat district Introduction Phaeocollybia R. Heim is a genus of agaricoid fungi, currently accepted in Hymenogastraceae (Matheny et al. 2006). The genus is easy to recognize in the field due to the presence of the cartilaginous stipe and deeply rooting pseudorhiza, moist to viscid umbonate pilei, and brown spores. Microscopically the genus is characterized by gelatinous tissues, roughened brown spores with an apical callus, the presence of cheilocystidia, and tibiiform diverticula (Norvell & Exeter 2008). The genus is widely distributed in forested temperate regions worldwide and currently comprises about 95 described species (http://www.indexfungorum.org/). Species later placed in Phaeocollybia were first included by Fries (1838) in the heterogeneous assemblage of brown-spored agarics within the [unranked; section] Gymnoti under [unranked; subgenus] Naucoria.
