Map created by the British East India Company of the Malwa region of Punjab showing the various polities, borders, and settlements of the area, ca.1829–1835

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Map created by the British East India Company of the Malwa region of Punjab showing the various polities, borders, and settlements of the area, ca.1829–1835. Folio no.4, sheet no.5.

A total of sixty-six (66) polities are listed in the legend, however the British admit this is not an exhaustive list/survey of all the polities in the region, as quoted: "There are many more petty cheifships too intermixed and too insignificant to be exhibited in this map", meaning there were many more regional polities existing at the time beyond the 66 depicted in this map. The map extends beyond Malwa into Haryana.

The map has been dated to having been created between the years 1829–1835 based upon the following observations/research by Manreet (@manreet.d on Instagram):

The map is listed without a date but there is one very telling sign, the pink coloured Firozpur. In Captain Murray’s 1828 report, Firozpur is listed under Ranjit Singh but 3 years later in Colonel Bellasis meeting with Firozpur’s ruling woman Lachman Kaur, she states that while, ‘she cherished cordial relations with Maharaja Ranjit Singh, her territory rejoiced in the British protection’. So that puts the map at 1829-1835. The British don’t officially take over Firozpur until after her death in 1835.

Places of today's Malwa that once were under Lahore (Sikh Empire):

1. Rupnagar

2. Moga

3. Jagraon

4. Dharamkot

5. Kotkupura

6. Muktsar

7. Sahnewal
