Guest Punjabi Nationalist Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 Below is an authentic map of pre-partition Punjab published by the British for the Imperial gazetteer of their "British India" colony. The map is dated 1907-1907 Punjab as it exists today is divided between two countries and broken into seven poltical units. Two of them are in Pakistan and the remaining five are in India.

Jamuka Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 I was discussing with a Hindu how Panjab wasn't with India prior 47 ..she was like yes, yes it was.. Prior to 1947 there was no such thing as India to begin with. Ask her to prove to you the existence of an 'Indian' civilization prior to 1947. They have nothing to be proud of thats why Punjabi Nationalism is a threat to them. Mod's Note: Your Harsh Language was deleted. There was no need for that. Please keep it civilized!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Punjabi Nationalist Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 PN.do you have any site, any official site which tells us hwo large Panjab was, and where we can see above map ? I have given the exact geographical size of each politically administered unit of the greater Punjab region. Just need to add them together and you'll get the full size of Punjab. I know them to be correct because i scanned through official government and census sites to find them. I dont know of any official site which states how large Punjab is/was (area wise). But, i been playing around with a web design tool called 'easy designer' so i can make my own site on Punjab, which will have the above info. Its a pretty basic site cos ive never studied computer classes and dont know about java and dreamweaver and those things. I'll let you know when ive finished it and see what you think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baba Manochal Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 Silly question i know, but how big was the Kingdom of Ranjit Singh when it was passed over to the british? For some reason i cant get the map to fully open on my screen, but does it include all the areas under ranjit singh as punjab? eg all the way to kabul? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Punjabi Nationalist Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 The above map is of Punjab at its greatest extent in both geographical/physical and political terms. From what i understand, Maharaja Ranjit Singh did not rule over all parts of Punjab, particularly the south-east including Delhi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
