Invitation of baitak from Punjab Punch

A DAY WHEN PUNJAB WAS ANNEXED.

29th March is a day when 165 years back( in 1849) East India company annexed the Punjab. At that time the name of the Government was LHORE DARBAR, founded by Maharaja ranjiet singh along with his Muslim, Sikh and Hindu comrades. Delhi was annexed by E.I.C in 1803 and Shah alam 11 was taking pension from Faranges yet Punjab, Kashmir, Peshawar, FATA remained independent under Lhore Darbar for 50 years and finally after so many conspiracies and wars Faragees annexed it in 1849. As new masters were habitual of using religion so they called previous empire as Sikh Rule. They changed the Punjab by social engineering and turned it into a recruitment area. From that day our lands under Frontier forward Policy lost their traditional entrepreneurship and tolerance based traditions set by Sfi poets like Baba Farid, baba Nanak, shah Hussein, Mian meer, Bulleh Shah, warish shah, Khwaja farid, Mian Muhammad baksh etc. the proof is textbooks published during Raj in which they neither included Sufi poetry of Punjabi poets nor refered to traditional entrepreneurship of Kashmir, Punjab, Sindh, KPK, Baluchistan and FATA at all. It is high time to rethink about it so that we can know who ruined us and how we can construct a peace loving region once again.
