CHAPTER I. A GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PUNJAB. The Punjab is an agricultural province, a land of peasant proprietors, a large and annually . Gradual expropri- • i- r i i • ation of Musaiman increasing portion of whom are sinking peasant proprietors jn^o the position of serfs to the monev- a source of danger. *• ______ _ _ J lenders. The graduart'rarisfer of owner- ship of the soil from its natural lords—the cultivators— to astute but uniniiuential Hindu traders and bankers, is -directly due to a system of law and administration created unless remedied in time, . by ourselves, which, must event- ually imperil the stability of oiir hold on the country. The danger will be greater in the Western than in the Central and Eastern tracts of the Punjab, because, in the west, the rural population is entirely composed of strong Musaiman tribes ; hence the antagonism of creeds will be superadded to that of interests. Throughout Eagjern Europe the Jews are hated and persecuted rather because they are successful aliens and professors of an old-world faith than because they are successful. So with the Bun- niahs of the Western Punjab. They offend not only be- cause they thrive on the misfortunes of monotheistic agri- culturists, but because they are interlopers and polytheists, if not idolators. 2 MUSALMANS AND MONEY-LENDERS. [Chap. The rich level plain between the meridians of Jhelum and Ludhiana roughly comprises the The Central Plain. ,,...,„., nme central districts of the Punjab, namely, Gujranw'ala, Sialkdt, Gurdaspur, Aipritsar, Lahore, Hoshiarpur, Jalandhar, Firo^pur, and Ludhiana. These nine districts have an area of 19,218 square miles, or nearly half that of Scotland. The population is made up of thirty-seven lakhs of Musalmans, nine lakhs of Sikhs, and twenty-six lakhs of Hindus. The tract is fertile, thickly populated, and carefully cultivated. It is, except towards the south, fairly protected from famine by canals or a sufficient rainfall. Though the Musalmans consider- ably outnumber Sikhs and Hindus together, either of the latter are strong enough to hold their own, single-handed, against the former. There is little active antipathy be- tween the followers of the three religions. Of the three, the Musalmans are the most backward and ignorant, and therefore least able to hold their own in a law-ridden age. The Eastern Punjab is as large as Scotland, but sup- The Eastern Pun- ports double its population. It is divid- i^^- ed into eight districts,* covers an area of 25,622 square miles, of which one-third is mountainous, and has a population of thirty-eight lakhs of Hindus, eleven lakhs of Musalmans, and one lakh of Sikhs. Thus, Hindus outnumber Musalmans by over three to one. The latter having embraced Islam between 200 to 300 years ago, retain many of their ancient Hindu customs and supersti- tions, are very lax Mahomedans, and would, in case of a popular rising, rather follow than lead their Hindu or Sikh neighbours. ^ They • are Kangra, Simla, Karnal, Umballa, Delhi, Rohtak, Gurgaon, Hissar-fa;«- Sirsa. '' A GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PUNJAB. In Aurangzeb's time his proselytising zeal burnt so Conversions to Is- fiercely that great numbers of Hindus ™" verted to Islam, particularly in the eastern districts of the Punjab. Their change of faith was never sincere. To this day Hinduism has so strong a hold ^pon them that, as it has been well put, they " observe the feasts of both religions and the fasts of neither." Since the Mutiny of 1857 they are said to have become much stricter believers. It may generally be said that, through- out the Punjab, the religion of the majority mitigates the exclusiveness of the minority. Thus, talcing Lahore as a centre, Musalmans are progressively eastwards of it laxer, but westwards stricter, Mahomedans. We must, however, not forget that one peculiarity of Islam is, that the more ignorant the believer the greater and more easily roused is the potential energy of his fanaticism. The Arabs of the Soudan and of Arabia are many of them sun-worshippers still at heart, and know no more of Islam than its creed—" Except God there is no God and " Mahomed is the Messenger of God : yet both, when inflamed by a Mahdi, are reckless fanatics. There remains to be described the Western Punjab, the home of the Musalman subjects of Western or Musal- ^ t- r^ • u man portion of the our Queen-Empress. It comprises all province. British Punjab between the meridian of Jhelum on the east and our actual Trans-Indus frontier on the west, between the Himalayas on the north and the feudatory State of Bahawalpur on the south. The whole country covers an area of 61,792 square miles, or nearly two-thirds

It demonstrates the feasibility of a new and more rigorous approach to resource planning and development and will serve as an indispensible model for engi- neers, economists, and planners for years to come.

  • Physical Geography of the Punjab
    19 Gosal: Physical Geography of Punjab Physical Geography of the Punjab G. S. Gosal Formerly Professor of Geography, Punjab University, Chandigarh ________________________________________________________________ Located in the northwestern part of the Indian sub-continent, the Punjab served as a bridge between the east, the middle east, and central Asia assigning it considerable regional importance. The region is enclosed between the Himalayas in the north and the Rajputana desert in the south, and its rich alluvial plain is composed of silt deposited by the rivers - Satluj, Beas, Ravi, Chanab and Jhelam. The paper provides a detailed description of Punjab’s physical landscape and its general climatic conditions which created its history and culture and made it the bread basket of the subcontinent. ________________________________________________________________ Introduction Herodotus, an ancient Greek scholar, who lived from 484 BCE to 425 BCE, was often referred to as the ‘father of history’, the ‘father of ethnography’, and a great scholar of geography of his time. Some 2500 years ago he made a classic statement: ‘All history should be studied geographically, and all geography historically’. In this statement Herodotus was essentially emphasizing the inseparability of time and space, and a close relationship between history and geography. After all, historical events do not take place in the air, their base is always the earth. For a proper understanding of history, therefore, the base, that is the earth, must be known closely. The physical earth and the man living on it in their full, multi-dimensional relationships constitute the reality of the earth. There is no doubt that human ingenuity, innovations, technological capabilities, and aspirations are very potent factors in shaping and reshaping places and regions, as also in giving rise to new events, but the physical environmental base has its own role to play.

  • Early Yield Assessment of Wheat on Meteorological Basis for Potohar Region Dildar Hussain Kazmi1, Dr
    Pakistan Journal of Meteorology Vol. 6, Issue 11 Early Yield Assessment of Wheat on Meteorological Basis for Potohar Region Dildar Hussain Kazmi1, Dr. Ghulam Rasul1 Abstract The farmers of rainfed areas get low yields as rich as compared to the ones from the irrigated land, due to several natural constraints among which water availability is the major one. It is considered reasonable that yield forecast should be made as early as possible before harvesting. For rainfed areas yield assessment (of wheat crop) can be made based on Tillering to reproductive stage in late February or early March. Although the growth of any crop is not only dependant on weather parameters yet they have a great impact on final yield produced. This study revealed that at a particular time some meteorological parameters act as the main actor for the physical growth of wheat crop and the final yield in the end. During the 1st & 2nd decade of January, the moderate amount of rainfall (up to 40 mm) is favourable for a better yield. Heavy rains at this stage may have adverse effects on the final yield. Throughout the wheat grown season, if rainfall exceeds 120 mm then the final yield obtained may be good or above average. Reproductive stage (heading to grain formation) is the most critical period in the life cycle of wheat crop. A slight shortfall or excess of water produces drastic changes in the economic yield of the crop. Heat units during the early age and particularly at the beginning of reproductive stage should be equal to or slightly above than the normal to get optimum yield.

The entire period has been divided in three volumes and every aspect of the period has been ex­ plored documented.
