About Punjab

Satellite view is showing the Indian state of Punjab, located in northwest India, formerly part of the larger Punjab region. It was a center of the prehistoric Indus River valley civilization. With the partition of India in 1947, the Punjab province of British India was divided between India and Pakistan. The Indian part of the Punjab was divided after partition into three areas. The numerous Punjab hill states were merged into the state of Himachal Pradesh.
