Kasur District in the context of Majha
Majha (romanized: Mājhā; Punjabi pronunciation: [mäˑ˩˥.dʒˑäː]; from "mañjhlā" lit. 'middle') is a region located in the central parts of the historical Punjab region, presently split between the republics of Pakistan and India. It extends north from the right banks of the river Beas, and reaches as far north as left bank of the river Ravi, constituting upper half of the Bari Doab.
The Majha region was partitioned between India and Pakistan in 1947. It includes four districts of Indian state of Punjab — Amritsar, Tarn Taran, Gurdaspur, and Pathankot. In the Pakistani province of Punjab, the Majha region proper includes Lahore and Kasur districts. However, it is not uncommon to include the districts of Gujranwala (including Hafizabad and Wazirabad), Sialkot (including Narowal) and Sheikhupura (including Nankana Sahib) — located in the Upper Rachna Doab — in the Majha area as well.
