The Chalisa Famine
Chalisa – 40. A name tied to devastation.
A famine that ravaged Punjab. Crops failed, rivers ran dry, hunger consumed the land.
The Mughal decline. The rise of Sikh Misls. A region caught between power struggles and nature’s wrath.
Thousands perished. Villages emptied. Those who survived carried the scars for generations. Time moved on. Empires rose, borders shifted, and the Chalisa Famine faded into obscurity.
A tragedy buried in time - until now.
1700s Punjab
Punjab remembers its warriors, honours its saints, and writes about its rulers.
But seldom pauses to remember its people - the everyday lives that existed before empires, before partition, before Punjab.
A post for those who cultivated the land that held thrones.
The Lohars of Punjab
Lohar - Blacksmith. Loha - Iron.
Artisans inhabiting Punjab for centuries. Crafting swords, spears, shields, and supporting armies, warriors, and revolutions.
Jassa Singh Ramgarhia - a leader who carried the weight of not only iron, but the future.
The Industrial Revolution. Mass produced goods. A legacy pushed into the shadows.
