In 1935 (before Indian independence), British rulers compelled the Dogra King of Jammu & Kashmir to lease for 60 years parts of his kingdom; parts which went to make up the new Province of the North-West Frontier, in a move designed to strengthen their northern boundaries, especially from Russia.

The city of Gujranwala is about 500 years old. The first name of the settlement, according to the compilers of the first edition of the district Gazette, was Khanpur Shansi after an individual of the Jat caste called Khan Shansi who founded 11 villages in the region. Later, the Jat tribe "Gujar" occupied the land. They reached such dominance that the town came to be known as Gujranwala, which means "Land of the Gujars". In present day too, the Gujars form the majority population of the city. It seems likely that the district once contained t ...

Gough ordered the advance to commence at about 3:00 pm. From the outset, Pennycuick's brigade was in difficulties. The 24th, newly arrived in India, advanced very rapidly, but lost cohesion and also lost touch with the rest of the brigade in the thick scrub. They suffered heavily from Sikh artillery fire. When they reached the main Sikh positions, Sikh resistance was desperate and the 24th were driven back. Pennycuick's brigade eventually became completely disorganised and had to make its way back to the start line in small parties. Campbell's other brigade and White's cavalry advanced more caut ...

The Indian state of Punjab was created in 1947, when the Partition of India split the former Raj province of Punjab between India and Pakistan. The mostly Muslim western part of the province became Pakistan's Punjab Province; the mostly Sikh and Hindu eastern part became India's Punjab state. Many Hindus and Sikhs lived in the west, and many Muslims lived in the east, and so the partition saw many people displaced and much intercommunal violence. Several small Punjabi princely states, including Patiala, also became part of India. In 1950, tw ...
