Talk:Gujranwala

Muhammad Imran Masood

I have once again removed a link to Muhammad Imran Masood from under famous people. I see no indication that this person is famous at all. It seems to be just a vanity link. Dipics 20:41, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Most of the facts mentioned in the history section are not accurate. The article needs revision. The history of Gujranwala is not match to the history of either Lahore or Sialkot.

Gujars are not a Jutt caste

Gujranwala is named after Gujer or gujjar tribe-tahts true but gujers are an entirely different catse-related to what you can say milkmen-infact milkman and gujjers are considered synonomus in Punjab.It is wrong to say Gujjers a are a jutt tribe..howvere Sansi is a jutt caste... --Yahoo 17:30, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

I am from gujranwala and I can assure in gujranwala gujjars are considered a distinct ethnic group. So to say that gujrawala was named because of gujjar jat then it would be entirely wrong. Gujranwala´s name is due to Gujjars and not jutts. jatts and gujjars are considered totally different ethnicities in gujranwala.

I also endorse the opinion of the above people because I am also from gujranwala. I can assure you that in gujranwala , the gujjars are a distinct tribe and have no affiliation with jatts whatsoever. Gujranwala name is on gujjars, it is a fact, I totally endorse it.( Muhammad Usman Butt Gujranwala) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.58.115.48 (talk) 17:38, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

I want to endorse that official name of the city is GUJRANWALA, We write in urdu Gojranwala (گوجرانوالہ ) but in British rule spellings used as GUJRANWALA. We are still writing in URDU "Gojranwala" and in English Gujranwala. Gujranwala is named after Gojers tribe those were Singh Sansi jatt, Raja Ranjeet Singh was the Last Sansi/Gojer ruler of Gujranwala. Gujjers are an entirely different catse-related to what you can say milkmen-infact milkman and gujjers are considered Synonymous in Punjab. This is wrong Gujranwala now not belongs to Gujjers (Milk-Men) this was by the Gojers (Sansi Sikh they were Sikh Jutt)

Gujranwala city appears to be 500 years old. The origin of the name Gujranwala is shrouded in mists of time. The first name of the settlement according to the compilers of the first edition of the district Gazette was khanpur Shansi after an individual of the JAT cast called Khan Shansi who founded 11 villages in the nearby area. For some reason the Jaat Tribe Gojar occupied the land. They reach such dominance that the town came to be known as Gujranwala. It seems likely that the district once contained the capital of the Punjab, at an epoch when Lahore had not begun to exist. We learn from the Chinese Buddhist pilgrim, Hsuan Tsang, that about the year 630 he visited a town known as Tse-kia (or Taki), the metropolis of the whole country of the five rivers. A mound near the modern village of Asarur has been identified as the site of the ancient capital. Until the Mahommedan invasions little is known of Gujranwala, except that Taki had fallen into oblivion and Lahore had become the chief city. ‘Under Mahommedan rule the district flourished for a time; but a mysterious depopulation fell upon the tract, and the whole region seems to have been almost entirely abandoned. The Compilers of the district Gazetteer Gujranwala date this name to Approximately 300 years, giving us a rough estimate of the middle of the 16th century . Other smaller town in the vicinity for example Sohdara Eminabad Wazirabad and Ghakhar have older antecedent than Gujranwala itself. In the indispensable 1969 Essay " Gujranwala ; past and present " Dr.Waheed Quereshi names four villages in the Vicinity at the time of Abdalies invasion i.e. in the late 18th century.

1. Sirai Kachi: a European merchant in the area in 1608 A.D. mentioned in his memorial book a place he calls Coojes Serai. Before finch there is a very little evidence in history of Sirai Kachi . by the late 18th century it was a wagon stop village and a graveyard. Probably the antecedent of Chaman Shah graveyard in existence today.

2. Sirai Gojran : this village existed in the area inside the current Khiyaaly Gate in the city. Hafiz Abdul haq in his " Tareekh-e-Gujranwala" and " Molvi Adbul Malik in his " Shahan-e-Gujran" mention Sirai Gojran.

3. Sirai Kambohaan: Charat Singh a Sikh leader built a Mud Fort here in 1758.

4. Thatta : this village existed between the current railway line and the G.T. Road. Charat Singh son Mahaan Singh develop this village

Sikh Period: 1762-1849 A.D. The Sikhs established their Empire in the Punjab after the death of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb Alamgir in 1707. With the death of Aurangzeb the country saw a series of rapid governmental changes that stressed it in to the depths of anarchy. Taking advantage of this certain Charat Singh, who was the head of one of the Sikh Clans, established his stronghold in Gujranwala in 1763. Charat Singh died in 1774 and was succeeded by his son, Mahan Singh, who in turn fathered the most brilliant leader in the history of the Punjab Maharaja Ranjit Singh. It was this short scattered man, addicted to strong drink, unlettered; blind in one eye who united the Punjab under one flag. His rule stretched from the banks of the Gambian to the Khyber and from Kashmir to Multan. Maharaja Ranjit Singh was the most powerful of all the Sikh Rulers and ruled over for complete 40 years. After his death in 1840 the Sikh Empire was divided into small principalities looked after by several Sikh Jagirdars. This weak situation provided a good opportunity to the British of East India Company to put an end to the Sikh strong hold in the Punjab in 1849.

British Period: 1849-1947 A.D. The area was annexed by the British in 1849. The Deputy Commissioner of that time Sir Bernardth Rebuilt the "Sialkoti Gate" , "Lahore Gate" and "Khiyaaly Gate". A railway line was built along G.T. Road which then was moved 100 yards towards the Eastern Punjab in 1881. That railway line interconnected Gujranwala with other cities of Punjab and made the commercial trade between cities more convenient. Gujranwala railway station was the largest railways station at that time in Asia. British ruled the city until Pakistan's independence in 1947.

After Independence After the distribution of subcontinent India, all the Sikhs and the Hindus migrated to India and the Muslim pilgrims of the Eastern Indian-Punjab moved to Gujranwala.

Deleted text relating to manufacturing

I deleted the following text from the "Economy" section of the article:

AS Cutlery Industries is the one of biggest producers of Cutlery in Gujranwala and also the biggest exporter. Industry of "China Dinner Sets" is also booming.Mr.Muhammad Arshad is the famous Industrialist of the city.

The AS Cutlery Industries article was recently deleted after AfD discussion as likely advertising. The above text is therefore also suspicious. If someone can find reliable sources for the above text, please feel free to reinsert it appropriately. Paddles ^T_C 11:40, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Personalities et al

I have removed the entire "personalities" section because the only contributors were a pair of anon's who did not provide any reliable sources for why these names should be included. It is part of a wider disease permeating Wikipedia where articles are filled up with junk lists which detract from the purpose of the articles. Please do not reinsert any of this junk unless it is a reliably-sourced and concise list of particularly notable individuals. Green Giant 17:45, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Its ailee, someone who just joined wikipedia

The picture you have on the top that is not belongs to the City of Gujranwala that is AliPur Chatta Gate, Alipur Chatta is a village out side of city but in District Gujranwala. So put the pic from bottom Gujranwala Court pic on the Top that is perfect old City pic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kenkomo (talk • contribs) 19:54, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Map image breaches policy & has been removed

There is currently a deletion discussion taking place at Commons regarding File:Map on Dialects Of Punjabi Language.jpg, which can be viewed here. Regardless of whether the map image is deleted at Commons, I think that it needs to be removed from all English Wikipedia articles because it breaches our synthesis policy. The image creator has provided a long list of sources in the deletion discussion and it is evident from those that none contain all of the information shown in the image, nor is it a simple task to work out which bits of information were gleaned from which source(s). We simply do not permit people to aggregate information in this way. It should also be noted that the chances are very high that the various sources did not even adopt the same methodology in compiling their data, which makes the analysis of the creator even more suspect.

I have removed the image because the Commons discussion may end up as something other than "delete" and yet the thing is still invalid on English Wikipedia. - Sitush (talk) 19:18, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Map was deleted on two reasons. 1... Commons deletion discussion but now Deletion request by Sitush has been rejected on Wikimedia Commons. 2... Sitush has a self perception that map is synthesis, which is actually not because it is based on latest research of 2007 in the Publication named 'The Indo-Aryan Languages' by George Cardona and Dhanesh Jain. So I am re inserting it. Unless Sitush prove it again as a synthesis and refer me the areas of map being synthesized also mentioning the different publications along with page numbers where from in his kind opinion I have synthesized the map.Maria0333 (talk) 08:24, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
