Majha (Punjabi: ਮਾਝਾ, ماجھا; Hindi: माझा Mājha) is a historical region of the Punjab comprising the modern districts of Amritsar, Gurdaspur and Tarn Taran in the Indian State of Punjab and the districts of Narowal, Lahore and Kasur in the Pakistani Province of Punjab. Historically, Majha comprised the older settled parts of the Bari Doab (in particular Sheikhupura) and the Rechna Doab (in particular, Gujranwala), the newer settled parts belonging to the canal colonies.[1] Major towns in the region include Amritsar, Batala, Pathankot, Rawalpindi, Gurdaspur, Narowal, Lahore, Kasur, Sheikhupura, Nankana Sahib Gujranwala, Sialkot, Wazirabad, Gujrat, and Tarn Taran Sahib.
The largest part of Majha called the Bari Doab. It lies between two of the five great rivers of the Punjab: the Ravi and the Beas(Ba- For Beas, and -ri for River Ravi). As such, Majha lies in the heart of the ancient Punjab region. No wonder then, that one meaning of Majha is 'the central plains' or 'the central country'.
The people of Majha are known as 'Majhis' or 'Majhhis'.
