--Ashy.ali46 (talk)--15:22, 31 March 2015 (UTC)Intriduction: why this village is called sheik dheri how it came into being and who were its founders let me share what i know........ \ \ in 1848 four men migrated from kunda to this place because their rival from the neighbouring villages were cutting and capturing their land. so these four persons came and settled over here. one of them was a saint, who spent most of his time in meditation at a mound [dheri], situated in the centre of the village now. he was called sheikh so this place was named as sheikh dheri, his successors or now called [madikhel]. the second one was bangali shah, he was a literate person and he wrote a description of his era with his hands but no one knows where this description is at present. bangali shah invited his friends from different areas to settle down in this village. thus people of various areas came to sheikh dheri and in 1870, while british rule got access to this area the people from other areas were also granted ownership in the land of those four persons , the successors of bangali shah are known as[ malikan], the other two persons were brothers one of them was [ najeebullah] and his brothr , the successors of them are called [aziz khel], in 1870's while british government was granting ownership a few person came frome kunda and their successors are named as [budhlakhel] the ownership was declared after 1880's an old historian gopal das mentioned in his book [ tarekh-e-peshawar] that there was a way used mostly for carvans, from peshawar to shedo and across the kabul river through sheikh dheri to hund, the bank of river indus and the court of a sikh king of that time , it is alo mentioned in some other books that in this place lived hindu but in 1200's a flood changed this area in ruins .......[ i got help from qamar zaman ustaz in collecting basic information about sheikh dheri, so i am thankful to him
