The Char Bagh-i-Panjab, written by Ganesh Das Wadera immediately
after the annexation of the Lahore kingdom by the British in 1849,
is a classic Persian text. Its long descriptive part is the only
surviving account of the social, religious, and cultural life of
the peoples of the Punjab, especially during the late-eighteenth
and the early-nineteenth century. Ganesh Das writes about
traditional learning, literature, folklore, urban centres, and
women with a rare catholicity as an Indian, an orthodox Hindu, a
Punjabi, and a Khatri. Himself a hereditary qanungo of Gujrat in
the Sikh kingdom, he also provides valuable insights into the
structure of revenue administration at lower rungs. This volume
presents an authoritative English translation of this primary
descriptive section of Char Bagh-i-Panjab, with a detailed
Introduction, critical commentary, glossary, map, and a classified
index. Indispensable for researchers, it will interest historians
of medieval and modern India, especially those concerned with the
pre-Independence Punjab region.
