==History==
==History==
The town (Tehsil) name Piplan (which is in MIanwali) itself was given historically before the [[Partition of India|independence]] of [[Pakistan]] in 1947. Many Hindus used to live in Piplan and the name of this small town was Peepul or Peepul wala (''Peepul'': [[Sacred fig|fig tree]], regarded as sacred by both Hindus and Buddhists, who call it a "bo tree"). Later, after the [[Partition of India|independence]] of [[Pakistan]] in 1947, the name was changed to Peepul-Aan, now written as Piplan. Many people say the tree was located near to the main railway station of Piplan, however, the tree has been cut down.{{Citation needed|date=February 2008}}
