Hey mate here is ur query...

""""""""""""""""""

An area of early Aryan settlement, the plain was, according to the Hindu epic Mahabharata, the site of the war fought between the Pandavas and Kauravas. The Punjab Plain was ruled by ancient northern Hindu dynasties until the Muslims established firm control after the defeat of Prithviraja Chauhan by Muʿizz al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Sām(Muḥammad Ghūrī) in 1192 CE. The death of Mughal emperor Aurangzebin 1707 and the weakening of Mughal rule at Delhi enabled the Sikh dynasty to seize power in the region. The Punjab Plain has considerable strategic importance, since its western boundary coincides with the India-Pakistan border.


Agriculture is the mainstay of the region’s economy, and most of the plain is farmed; cereals, cotton, sugarcane, and oilseeds are grown. Most of the region is crisscrossed by irrigation canals. Large-scale industries centred in Delhi, Amritsar, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, and Chandigarh produce a variety of goods, including textiles, bicycle parts, machine tools, agricultural implements, sporting goods, rosin, turpentine, and varnish.

The Punjab Plain is a large alluvial plain inPakistan and the north-west of India. ... Theplain is extensively farmed for cereals and cotton. The plain is the western part of the North Indian River Plain in Pakistan formed by the Indus River and its tributaries - Jhelum, the Chenab, the Ravi, the Beas and the Sutlej.
