'''Punjab''' ({{IPAc-en|audio=Punjab.ogg|p|ʌ|n|ˈ|dʒ|ɑː|b}}, {{IPA-pa|pənˈdʒaːb|lang}}) is a state in the northern [[Republic of India]]. About 24 million people live there. Its national capital city is [[Chandigarh]]. The city is a separate territory, because it is also used be the capital of [[Haryana]]. The state is in the [[Punjab region]]. It covers an area of 19,445 [[square mile|mi²]] or 50,362 [[km²]]. It is bigger than [[Slovakia]] but smaller than [[Costa Rica]]. In traditional Indian geography it falls under the [[North India]]n zone. The state of Punjab has 22 districts. It is mainly known as the land of god/gurus, Punjab's culture is very rich and the dwellers of Punjab respect their culture . The half population of Punjab depends on agriculture, that's why its known as food-provider (anna-datta- in Punjabi). In Punjab people of all religions live with integrity and love .

==Etymology==

The word ''Doab'' is a combination of the [[Indo-Iranian languages|Indo-Iranian]] words ''Doab'' (''two'') and ''āb'' (''water''), and thus the (land of) ''two rivers''.<ref name="singh">{{cite book| title=Federalism, Nationalism and Development: India and the Punjab Economy| first=Pritam| last=Singh| publisher=Routledge| year=2008| ISBN=0415456665| pages=3| url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mQLDcjhNoJwC&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false| location=London; New York}}</ref> The two rivers are the [[Beas River|Beas]] and [[Sutlej River|Sutlej]]. Sometimes, in English, there can be a definite article before the name i.e. ''the [[Doaba]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/asia-pacific/india.asp|title=How to obtain a police certificate - India|publisher=Cic.gc.ca|date=2009-11-09|accessdate=2010-07-18}}</ref> The name is also sometimes spelled as ''Duoab'' or ''Douaab'' or ''Doaab''.
It originally contained 5 rivers before partition, British influence and the influence of the Indian government, so therefore its name came from the Punjabi word for five (Panj/Punj) and the word for river/water (ab).

==History==

All of India was once ruled by the [[British Empire]]. The Indians wanted freedom, but the [[Hindu]]s, [[Sikhs]] and the [[Muslim]]s of India always argued. So it was decided to divide the country into two parts—one part for Muslims and one part for Hindus and Sikhs. In 1947 [[Punjab (British India)]], which was a province of India, was divided into [[West Punjab]] and [[East Punjab]] (which the state is home to the active independence movement of [[w:Khalistan|Khalistan]] by the Sikh nationalists). [[East Punjab]] went to the Republic of modern India, and [[West Punjab]] went to Islamic Pakistan.
