Rawalpindi District (Punjabi and Urdu: ???? ???????????), is a district located in
the northernmost part of the Punjab province of Pakistan. Parts of the district
form part of the Islamabad Rawalpindi metropolitan area. Rawalpindi city is the
district capital.

The district has an area of 5,286 km2 (2,041 sq mi). Originally, its area was 6,192
km2 (2,391 sq mi) until the 1960s when Islamabad Capital Territory was carved out
of the district, giving away an area of 906 km2 (350 sq mi).[citation needed] It is
situated on the southern slopes of the north-western extremities of the Himalayas,
including large mountain tracts with rich valleys traversed by mountain rivers. The
chief rivers are the Indus and the Jhelum, and it is noted for its milder climate
and abundant rainfall due to its proximity to the foothills.[3]

Ancient history

Mankiala Stupa 27 kilometres (17 mi) from Rawalpindi city


In ancient times the whole or the greater part of the area between the Indus and
the Jhelum seems to have belonged to a Naga tribe called Takshakas, who gave their
name to the city of Takshasila. Known as Taxila by the Greek historians, the
location of the ancient city has been identified to be in the ruins of Shahdheri in
the north-west corner of the District. At the time of Alexander's invasion Taxila
was described by Arrian as a flourishing city, the greatest indeed between the
Indus and the Hydaspes; Strabo adds that the neighbouring country was crowded with
inhabitants and very fertile; and Pliny speaks of it as a famous city situated in a
district called Amanda. The invasion of Demetrius in 195 B.C. brought the Punjab
under the Graeco-Bactrian kings. Later they were superseded by the Sakas, who ruled
at Taxila with the title of Satrap. At the time of Hiuen Tsiang the country was a
dependency of Kashmir
