SIRHIND

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 156 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SIRHIND , a
tract
  of land in the Punjab, India. It consists of the north-eastern portion of the plain between the Jumna and Sutlej rivers, and is watered by the Sirhind canal. Sirhind is not an administrative division, but historically the name includes the districts of
Umballa
 , Ludhiana, and Ferozepore, together with the states of Patiala,
Jind
  and Nabha.
The Sirhind canal serves the
Umballa
  and Ludhiana districts, and the Patiala,
Jind
  and Nabha states. It draws its water-
supply
  from the Sutlej near Rupar, where the head-works are situated. The canal, which was opened in 1882, has 538 M. of main and branch canals, and irrigates nearly 2000 sq. m.
The town of Sirhind, in the state of Patiala, had a
population
  in 1901 of 5415. It is of very early, but uncertain,
foundation
 , and had a period of
great
  prosperity under the Moguls. Its ancient ruins cover a large extent, and include two fine domed tombs of the 14th century. It is held accursed by the Sikhs, owing to the barbarous murder of the son of Guru Govind by the
Mahommedan
 
governor
  in 1704.
