Khorasan

In his memoirs, Babur writes that:"The people of Hindustan call every country beyond their own Khorasan, in the same manner as the Arabs term all except Arabia, Ajem. On the road between Hindustan and Khorasan, there are two great marts: the one Kabul, the other Kandahar. Caravans, from Ferghana, Turkestan, Samarkand, Balkh, Bokhara, Hissar, and Badakhshan, all resort to Kabul; while those from Ekpara and Khorasan repair to Kandahar. This country lies between Hindustan and Khorasan."
