5,500 Years of Valour
Bravery in The Blood
The history of Punjab is a 5,500-year saga of resistance. It is the land where the horizon first met the defiance of Raja Porus, who stood amidst the monsoon rains of the Jhelum to challenge Alexander the Great. This primal spirit of sovereignty—the refusal to bow—is the very marrow of the Punjabi identity, forged through millennia of frontier warfare.
From the banks of the Hydaspes to the gates of the Khyber, the soil of Punjab has never known a quiet submission.

The Rise of the Khalsa
A Century of Struggle to Sovereignty
Punjab’s innate bravery found its purpose through Gurus’ Teachings. This spiritual revolution sparked a quest for justice, wielded first by Banda Singh Bahadur. After a century of Misl guerrilla warfare against invaders, the fire of resistance culminated in Sher e Punjab Sarkar Ranjit Singh. He forged a sovereign empire, finally returning the Five Rivers to their own people.
From the ashes of a century of conflict, rose a Sovereign Empire that reclaimed the dignity of the North.
The 1849 Fall & Rebirth
A Century of Treachery & Truth
In 1849, the sun set on the sovereign Sarkar-e-Khalsa—not through a lack of valour on the battlefield, but through the bitter treachery of internal betrayals. Yet, the spirit of Punjab did not break. For the next hundred years, the people of the five rivers led the vanguard against colonial rule, sacrificing their blood in every corner of the struggle for freedom.
When the colonizers finally retreated in 1947, they left behind a Punjab severed into two parts. This division tore through our homes, our families, and our shared soul. Today, despite the lines on the map, Punjab continues its silent, resilient fight to reclaim its true identity and preserve its unified heritage for the future.
“The map was divided, but the Pulse of Punjab remains one. Our mission is to document the story that no border can erase.”
