You are mistaking my disdain for the overrated, historical nobody region called Punjab, as pro-bong racism. Unlike you, i know the aukaad of my people in the historical context of things.

Punjab's chauth was lower than that of Bengal, Bihar, Allahabad,Gujarat and Delhi. actually, there was no Punjab back then, but adding chauths from Lahore and Multan subahs.

Dude, you can take your tax collection theory up your behind and gloat all you want about how Bengalis paid more tax to your overloads: The Mughals. We will happily grant you that title of shelling out the most tax to your overlords, The Mughals. Congrats. It's hardly a title to be bragging about but if it makes you happy sure go ahead Edited July 26, 2018 by PBN mancalledsting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBN Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) 5 hours ago, Muloghonto said: Wrong. I can refer you to sources that track the history of irrigation in Punjab through the last couple of millenias. We also have corroborating views of historic visitors to India. Punjab prior to the mughals was largely unremarkable. Think much more of the 'nile', especially in the southern portion (relative to Punjab, not whole course-length) for Bari and Rechna doab. Yes, relative to the world, it has been quite fertile but relative to India and most of rest of Eastern half of Asia, it has been, historically unremarkable. Why do you keep on shifting goal posts? First you stated that there was no irrigation in Punjab prior to the British which was proven wrong as there were already pulley style well irrigation aka Persian wheel present in Punjab since atleast 1600. There’s no single river in Punjab..there are atleast five…wheat is ideal for the land. The premise of the argument was whether Punjab was a prosperous land before the arrival of the British and it was prosperous as was witnessed during the Sikh Empire...case closed. Even today, Punjab outperforms Bengal region in multiple indices : better economically per capita,etc. Why do you keep on clutching to straws and keep on going back and back in history? Duh, everyone knows the story of Kohinoor but having the Kohinoor obviously made the Sikh Empire richer economically. The whole argument is whether Punjab was already a prosperous land before the British and it was. EOD Quote You can whine about it being due to greater population itself (so not greater per capita), but thats irrelevant, we are comparing the regions as a whole. Huh, you are obviously going to compare apples to apples. Population always a part in the economics. Bass stuff…For example, comparing Antarctica to China and then saying it’s about region and not population is stupid.

PBN Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Anyways, Punjabis and especially Sikhs have a great history..countless tales of bravery, sacrifice; a prosperous legacy of literature, culture, or of religious value, and have definitely punched way above their weight in various fields even today i.e science, social, religious reforms, sports, entertainment, music, army,etc. Nothing can change that. You can go whine in a corner for all we care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really compare sprinting with shooting ,the latter being primarily a rich man's sport. Singh bling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
