Rokhan said, I have regularly visited the tomb of the unknown prince (presumably Bakht Khan) with Professor Shad Khan and

have seen its condition deteriorate over the decades.

He added that the grave was once looted by gravediggers hoping to find treasure as many consider him a saint. Incidentally many

people continue to visit the grave, hoping the prince will answer their prayers.

Great nations always keep records of their heroes. Unfortunately, no research into the life of this hero of the War of Independence

was ever conducted, and in line with the claims of his final years by Swats historians, Bakht Khans memory lives as he died. In

anonymity.

With additional input by Vaqas Asghar.
