User:Hasuait/Sandal Bar

Sandal Bar (Template:Lang-pa) is the section of the Bar region in western Punjab which is located between the rivers Ravi and Chenab, and comprises the southern part of Rechna Doab. It corresponds to the present-day Faisalabad, Jhang, Toba Tek Singh and Chiniot districts.^[1]

The Sandal bar corresponds to the lower half of Rechna Doab (the grey area) in this map

Sandal Bar is named after Sandal, grandfather of the 16th-century Punjabi Bhatti chieftain Dulla Bhatti who, according to the popular folklores, led a revolt against the Mughal rule during the reign of Akbar.^[2] Sandal Bar was sparsely populated until the late-19th century, when it was brought under irrigation after the establishment of Chenab Colony and the city of Lyallpur in 1892.^[3]
