Punjab is a geopolitical, cultural, and historical region in South Asia, comprising areas of eastern Pakistan and northern India.
History
In the late 4th century BCE, Punjab was one of the regions invaded by Alexander the Great as part of the expansion of his Empire to the East. In 326 BCE, Alexander defeated the Indian king Porus near the Hydaspes river. Porus submitted to Alexander, becoming one of his allies and subordinate ruler.[1][2]
In the 16th century, the city of Amritsar was founded by Ram Das, one of the ten Gurus of Sikhism. He also ordered the construction of the Sikh temple Harmandir Sahib.[3]
In 1801, Punjab was conquered by Maharajah Ranjit Singh, creating the Sikh Empire.[3]
