INTRODUCTION


 
 



the first impression of Punjab one gets is that of a land pulsating with prosperity. The plains of Punjab, with their fertile soil and abundant water supply, are naturally suited to be the breadbasket for India. The land of Punjab is a land of exciting culture, myriad images of swaying emerald green fields and hearty people whose robust rustic ways of camaraderie and bonhomie are very much a part of their heritage.

The state has achieved tremendous growth over the years due to the success of the Green Revolution in the early 70s. For a major period in the second half of the 20th century, Punjab led the other states in India to achieve self-sufficiency in crop production. The other major reason for the prosperity of the state are the great number of people who left their home for the countries in Europe and North America and, after long struggles, achieved successes there.

The people of the state are hard working and take life as it comes. Music and dance is in their blood and that is reflected in the Bhangra beats that are famous all over the world today.

Physical Features



Due to the presence of a large number of rivers, most of the Punjab is a fertile plain. Tributaries of the rivers Indus, Ravi, Sutlej, Beas, and Ghaggar flow towards the southeast crossing the entire state. There are many sub-tributaries of these rivers that provide a base for the most extensive canal system in India.

The southeast region of the state is semi-arid and gradually presents a desert landscape. A belt of undulating hills extends along the northeastern part of the state at the foot of the Himalayas


                  Punjab the land of five rivers and integrated cultural history, is a treasure trove for an avid tourist. For this land of the great Gurus not only boasts of ancient monuments but throbs with historical embodiments. It is no secret that whoever comes to this land of golden yellow fields with Blue Mountains providing the romantic and picturesque backdrop has never gone back without imbibing the essence of Punjab. There is no dearth of breathtaking places, for Punjab was the seat of royalty, as the imposing Quila Mubarak will tell you. Museums Galore and so are the religious places with the Golden Temple offering soccour to the mind and the soul of anyone visiting. If you are a wild life freak, then Punjab can take you on a tour of sanctuaries, which are hot favorites with the migratory birds. Since the state borders Pakistan, there are two main posts from which you can peep into the land, which was once the integral part of Punjab, and experience the feelings of people separated by a line drawn by mankind.

The much truncated India’s portion of present Punjab is divided into three natural regions: The Mujha, The Doaba and the Malwa.
