Talk:Lahore

Improvements made

Add virtual university of pakistan(vu)govt. of pakistan) in universities of lahore.

I've added/replaced some pictures, to help show a better face of Lahore. Some remaining pictures may also need to be changed or added with better ones (such as for the Horse and Cattle Show, airport, parks, stadia and cultural events). Let's try to get the best one's available before inserting them at random. I've also rearranged their alignment to improve the format, as per earlier comment. In the text, I've modified the list of famous roads to make it more complete and informative for a first-time user (otherwise, just street names are useless), and edited the para on the restaurants and food street.

Hope this improves the page. If I've missed out on any copyright info on the images, please provide it so that they are not automatically deleted.

Thanks,

PakBoy

History section

I fixed up the history portion a little. Removed the rudyard kipling reference under history- it was pretty much picked up off the main kipling article and was irrelevant to the history of the city.. if at all it should be mentioned under culture (or the famous lahoris section but that's been removed) but I couldn't really see where it fits in. Also added dates for sikh rule (1799-1849). added cricket world cup in 1996. If anyone has any other ideas for historical events please do add. and someone please fix the Nightlife subheading.. its rather funny but not appropriate.

235-360 CE The area where Lahore was located belonged to the Sassanid Empire during this time prior to Gupta rule. Thus someone please add the relevant icon and name in the history of Lahore timeline box which I originally created. Ultraprime12345 (talk) 20:52, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

Please check the Indo-Sassanian subtopic.

Third Sasanian-Kushan War

In the east around 350, Shapur II gained the upper hand against the Kushano-Sasanian Kingdom, who captured some territories against the Sasanians, and took control of large territories in areas now known as Afghanistan and Pakistan, possibly as a consequence of the destruction of the Kushano-Sasanians by the Chionites. The Kushano-Sasanian still ruled in the north. Important finds of Sasanian coinage beyond the Indus river in the city of Taxila only start with the reigns of Shapur II (r.309-379) and Shapur III (r.383-388), suggesting that the expansion of Sasanian control beyond the Indus was the result of the wars of Shapur II "with the Chionites and Kushans" in 350-358 as described by Ammianus Marcellinus.

The Kushan Shahs were a branch of Sassanid Persian Empire who filled the power vacuum in 3rd and 4th Century AD left by declining Kushan Empire. Ultraprime12345 (talk) 00:50, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

@Innocent Paki you had replaced several images in the infobox. Can you tell how you think they are better representative for the article than previous? Sutyarashi (talk) 13:02, 18 November 2025 (UTC)

In the economy section, please update an image with "File:Lahore Skyline.png". The image showcases high rises in the background showcasing the skyline of Lahore which other cities have in their Wikipedia articles. I believe this is a substantial edit that improves the economy section by showcasing recent developments and current high rise trend. Afnan Ghani (talk) 03:35, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

 Not done: In my opinion, this is not a particularly good photo of the skyline, as the foreground is dominated by the stands of a stadium and the buildings are completely in the background. It would also be more appropriate for the "Cityscape" section. Day Creature (talk) 15:30, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

then why not have it for cityscape inplace of that old one? I'd say it has a more modern look or the best one we can get because wikimedia commons has partial block in Pakistan unfortunately. Afnan Ghani (talk) 17:30, 22 April 2026 (UTC)
