Punjab- the land of five rivers was and is called the crown of India. The Punjab - its land and people hold a unique and very important position on mosaic of India. Dr. B.P. Saksena in his presidential Address to the Punjab History Conference Proceeding, Third Session, in 1969 said, " To my mind the Punjab is India in miniature. It is the enterpot of Indian History and Indian Culture. Its contribution to the rest of the sub- continent is immeasurable both interms of quality and content."(Source: Geography of Punjab by Manku)  

The present Punjab came into existence on November 1, 1996 at the culmination of Punjabi Suba morcha. It is now a unilingual State. The present Punjab has the smallest ever size in its history. The southern parts of pre-1966 punjab were formed into a new state called Haryana. North -eastern hill ares were merged with Himachal Pradesh. Thus, the present Punjab is predominately a plain region state with Sikhs as the major inhabiting group, and Punjabi as the main and the official language of the state.
