Intoduction To Punjab
Punjab (Pakistan):
The Punjab (Shahmukhi: پنجاب (help·info)) is a province of Pakistan. It is the country's most populous region with about 56% of Pakistan's total population. The Punjab is home to the Punjabis and various other groups. Neighbouring areas are Sindh to the south, Balochistan and the North-West Frontier Province to the west, Pakistan-administered Kashmir, Islamabad to the north, and the Republic of India to the east. The main languages are the Punjabi, Urdu, Saraiki, Mewati, Potowari and Pashto. The provincial capital is Lahore. The name Punjab literally translates from the Persian words Pañj (پنج) , meaning Five, and Āb (آب) meaning Water. Thus Punjab can be translated as (the) Five Waters - and hence the Land of the Five Rivers, referring to the Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Sutlej and the Indus per ce. These five rivers are all the tributaries of the Indus River. The province was founded in its current form in May 1972.
