Shahab-ud-Din Virk of Punjab was from a land that literally means what?
Punjabis The Punjabis (Punjabi: , ਪੰਜਾਬੀ), or Punjabi people, are an ethnic group associated with the Punjab, who speak Punjabi language. The name Punjab literally means the "land of five waters" in Persian: panj ("five") āb ("waters"). The name of the region was introduced by the Turko-Persian conquerors of South Asia and more formally popularised during the Mughal Empire. Punjab is often referred to as the breadbasket in both Pakistan and India.
Western India Western India consists of the states of Goa, Gujarat, and Maharashtra along with the Union territory of Daman and Diu and Dadra and Nagar Haveli of India. The region is highly industrialized, with a large urban population. Roughly, Western India is bounded by the Thar Desert in the northwest, the Vindhya Range in the north and the Arabian Sea in the west. A major portion of Western India shares the Deccan Plateau with South India. Before the partition of India, the now-Pakistani territories of Sindh and Balochistan were also included in this region.
