Punjab ( Panj'aab) the land of five rivers situated in the heart of Pakistan, it is the second largest province of Pakistan, it is a region with its own history and cultural heritage, fascinating in its own right. Punjab was the site for one of the world's earliest human settlements, the great prehistoric Harappa and Taxila Civilisation, the crucible of ancient empires, religions and cultures.

Most Punjabi people live in the villages. Village life, as portrayed below, is very different from city life as one is surrounded by the beautiful land, grazing cattle, and fresh air. Life is generally more calm in the villages.

Punjab, a region in Northern India and the east side of Pakistan, has a long history and rich cultural heritage. The people of the Punjab are called Punjabis and they speak a language called Punjabi. The three main religions in the area are Sikhism, Hinduism, and Islam. The region has been invaded and ruled by many different empires and races, including the Aryans, Persians, Greeks, Egyptians, Afghans, and Mongols. Around the time of the 15th Century, Guru Nanak Dev founded the Sikh religion, which quickly came to prominence in the region, and shortly afterwards, Maharaja Ranjit Singh reformed the Punjab into a secular and powerful state. The 19th Century saw the beginning of British rule, which led to the emergence of several heroic Punjabi freedom fighters. In 1947, at the end of British rule, the Punjab was split between Pakistan and India .
