Punjab Travel
Punjab, the chief wheat producing area of the country, is the overland entry
point into India. The state is also known for its production of sports and hosiery
goods. The holiest shrine for the Sikhs is the Golden Temple in
Amritsar,
so called because the dome is covered with gold leaf.Home of the fiercly proud
and independent sikhs, the state of Punjab is steeped in histroy and culture
of India.
For centuries, the sikh warriors have provided the fighting force for armies
of the great kings of In
dia,
British Raj and now the people of United India.Through sheer hard work, the
men and women of Punjab have turned this into one the greenest states in India.
Universally famous for their deligence, they have done much to contribute to
the welfare of India.
The first impression of Punjab one gets is that of a land pulsating with prosperity.
The plains of Punjab, with their fertile soil and abundant water supply, are
naturally suited to be the breadbasket for India. The land of Punjab is a land
of exciting culture, myriad images of swaying emerald green fields
and
hearty people whose robust rustic ways of camaraderie and bonhomie are very
much a part of their heritage.
The state has achieved tremendous growth over the years due to the success of
the Green Revolution in the early 70s. For a major period in the second half
of the 20th century, Punjab led the other states in India to achieve self-sufficiency
in crop production. The other major reason for the prosperity of the state are
the great number of people who left their home for the countries in Europe and
North America and, after long struggles, achieved successes there.
The people of the state are hard working and take life as it comes. Music and
dance is in their blood and that is reflected in the Bhangra beats that are
famous all over the world today.
