  • Distinctive Cultural and Geographical Legacy of Bahawalpur by Samia Khalid and Aftab Hussain Gilani
    Pakistaniaat: A Journal of Pakistan Studies Vol. 2, No. 2 (2010) Distinctive Cultural and Geographical Legacy of Bahawalpur By Samia Khalid and Aftab Hussain Gilani Geographical introduction: The Bahawalpur State was situated in the province of Punjab in united India. It was established by Nawab Sadiq Muhammad Khan I in 1739, who was granted a title of Nawab by Nadir Shah. Technically the State, had come into existence in 1702 (Aziz, 244, 2006).1 According to the first English book on the State of Bahawalpur, published in mid 19th century: … this state was bounded on east by the British possession of Sirsa, and on the west by the river Indus; the river Garra forms its northern boundary, Bikaner and Jeyselmeer are on its southern frontier…its length from east to west was 216 koss or 324 English miles. Its breadth varies much: in some parts it is eighty, and in other from sixty to fifteen miles. (Ali, Shahamet, b, 1848) In the beginning of the 20th century, this State lay in the extreme south- west of the Punjab province, between 27.42’ and 30.25’ North and 69.31’ and 74.1’ East with an area of 15,918 square miles. Its length from north-east to south-west was about 300 miles and its mean breadth is 40 miles. Of the total area, 9,881 square miles consists of desert regions with sand-dunes rising to a maximum height of 500 feet. The State consists of 10 towns and 1,008 villages, divided into three Nizamats (administrative Units): Minchinabad, Bahawalpur and Khanpur.

The historical and descriptive research method is utilized and collected data from the different archives and libraries of Pakistan for the accomplishment of the present paper which highlighted all the events and services provided for the British by the State of Bahawalpur from 1833 to the emergence of Pakistan. The State had to pay a huge price for its continued existence and had to forgo many times for the British. It is also proved that the Bahawalpur State not established relations with the Government of the British Empire on an egalitarian basis.

  • Canal Colonization in the Princely State of Bahawalpur: an Attribute of the Agrarian Development
    Journal of Historical Studies Vol. IV, No.I (January-June, 2018) PP. 52-73 CANAL COLONIZATION IN THE PRINCELY STATE OF BAHAWALPUR: AN ATTRIBUTE OF THE AGRARIAN DEVELOPMENT Dr. Zahra Akram Hashmi Assistant Professor Govt. Degree College Ahmadpur East Abstract The canal colonization in Bahawalpur was influenced by the extensive schemes of human settlements on canal lands in the British Punjab by which the agricultural communities of Punjab were settled on the wastelands in the province. During the first half of the twentieth century, the system of perennial canals proved a considerable step forwarded in extending the cultivation towards the barren lands of the princely state of Bahawalpur. This paper addresses two important questions. What was the procedure of settling the colonists in the Bahawalpur colony and what was the result of that process in the agricultural sphere of the newly opened agrarian frontier. However, the colonization in Bahawalpur was distinct in a way that it was an interrelationship of the farming skills and agrarian practices of both the British India and the princely India. This paper is mainly based on published and unpublished official reports. Keywords: settlement, canal colonies, agriculture, colonists, peasantry. Introduction With the transfer of power to the British Crown in 1858, the Government of India decided to develop the Indus plain into a cultivated area and to open the agricultural frontier towards the wasteland of Western Punjab. The objectives behind these wide ranging plans were both political and economic in nature. Imran Ali analyzed that the congested districts of the Eastern and the Central Punjab were facing shortages of agricultural land caused by the increase in population.

  • Bahawalnagar
    ANNUAL POLICING PLAN FOR THE YEAR 2020-21 DISTRICT BAHAWALNAGAR DISTRICT POLICE OFFICER BAHAWALNAGAR 2 3 INTRODUCTION Bahawalnagar District is predominantly an agricultural district, being situated between river Sutlej and Pak-Indian Border. In the past, it remained integral part of State Bahawalpur but in the year 1952, this district got its separate entity as a district. However, now it is a part of Bahawalpur Region. In terms of physical characteristics, this district can be divided into 'Hithar' (riverain belt), 'Uttar" (settled area) and Cholistan. Hithar and Cholistan are less developed and have lesser socio-economic development as compared to 'Uttar' region. Cholistan is a mass of sand with sand dunes rising at certain places to the height of even 100 feet. It consists of 5 sub-divisions namely Bahawalnagar, Chishtian, Haroonabad, Minchinabad and Fortabbas with 22 Police Stations, 8879Sq.KMs of area with a population of 3.0 Millions. This district is inhabitant mostly by settlers from upper Punjab who have brought their old feuds with them and thus they indulge in crime against persons. The inhabitants of river belt are however, active in crime against property. Bahawalnagar is also a developing district and needs new roads. Bhukan Pattan Bridgeon Sutlej River is present to link the district with Pakpattan and Sahiwal districts while a new bridge on the same river has also been constructed to link Tehsil Minchinabad to Pakpattan. However, metal road from river to Pakpattan is still under construction. Extension in important towns has started a process of urbanization which still continues. People from more densely populated areas of interior Punjab are still attracted to this district because they consider that there are charming prospects of earning livelihood by bringing barren land under cultivation.
