i usually make my notes/files in MS-Word doc files. I want to post the contents of the files i make on this website. But as i see there is no way to post files on this website!!! Do you have any email address to which I can send my files, so that you can post them here on this website? Please let me know the email address!

But i have been to Data Gunj Baksh's tomb and very near him is buried BiBi Paak Daman. People say that Bibi Paak Daaman came to Lahore even before Gunj, so this means that obviously Gunj was not the first person to come to Lahore.

I have myself done this MCQ wrong, but as far as my knowledge goes, Sheikh Ismail came to Lahore during the time when Lahore was under non-Muslim occupation, sometime before Mahmood of Ghazni and after the Arab conquest of Sindh. So probably the correct answer is Sheikh Ismail!

Hope i be of some help!

Ali Hajweri is the same person as Data Gunj Baksh. But Ali MAKHDOOM Hajweri is different from Gunj!!!!!
