'''Aliwal''' is a village in [[India]], located in the [[Ludhiana, India|Ludhiana]] district of [[Punjab, India|Punjab]], on the [[Sutlej|Sutlej river]].<br />
<br />
It is the site of an important [[Battle of Aliwal|battle]] during the [[First Anglo-Sikh War]]. Late in January 1846 it was held by Ranjur Singh, who had crossed the river in force and threatened [[Ludhiana district|Ludhiana]]. On the 28th [[Sir Harry Smith, 1st Baronet|Sir Harry Smith]],<ref>Smith, Sir Harry. ''The Autobiography of Lieutenant-General Sir Harry Smith Baronet of Aliwal on the Sutlej.'' Publisher: John Murray, Albemarle Street 1903 [http://www.gutenberg.org/files/57094/57094-h/57094-h.htm]</ref> with a view to clearing the left or British bank, attacked him, and after a struggle pierced the [[Sikh]] troops with his [[cavalry]], and pushed them into the river, where large numbers perished, leaving 67 guns to the victors. The consequence of the victory was the submission of the whole territory east of the [[Sutlej]] river to the British.<ref name="EB1911">{{EB1911|inline=y|wstitle=Aliwal|volume=1|page=673}}</ref><br />
