As a nation, we have failed to produce even a single person of the calibre of Prof. A. Hasan Dani. He was a great linguist and a poineering archaeologist of Pakistan. Being from the 5th generation of archaeologists after he introduced the subject in the University of Peshawar, I assure his family that his legacy will kept alive. We are proud of him, his contributions and achievments and are praying for his eternal peace. May Allah bless him and his family with all His bounties.Ameen
