Question

Since when city Kasur is named so?

Answer 1

There are different traditions about the name of Kasur. One is that the town was founded by Kasur/ Kasu the son of Ram Chander and named after him as Kasurpur. (One of Kasu brother was Loh and the City of Lahore was named after him.) The other tradition(which is off course very weak and just the pigment of imagination of some Pashtun) tells us that the town was founded by Pashtun families of Kabul (The capital of, nowadays Afghanistan) during the period of Mughal King Akbar. The Pashtuns constructed 12 small forts known as Kot. There were about twelve Kots named after the heads of various families. These names still exist.
