The Punjab Canal Colonies is the name given to parts of western Punjab which were brought under cultivation through the construction of canals and agricultural colonisation during the British Raj. Between 1885 and 1940, nine canal colonies were created in the inter-fluvial tracts east of the Beas and Sutlej and west of the Jhelum rivers. The Punjab underwent an agricultural revolution as arid subsistence production was replaced by the commercialised production of huge amounts of wheat, cotton and sugar. In total, over one million Punjabis settled in the new colonies, relieving demographic pressures in central Punjab.

  • Le Colonie del canale del Punjab (in inglese: Punjab Canal Colonies) erano una divisione dell'India britannica. Esse corrispondevano alla parte occidentale del Punjab che venne resa coltivabile tramite la costruzione di canali d'irrigazione e una colonizzazione agricola da parte del governo del British Raj. Tra il 1885 ed il 1940, vennero create nove colonie nei tratti interfluviali ad est dei fiumi Beas e Sutlej e ad ovest dello Jhelum. Il Punjab conobbe una vera e propria rivoluzione agricola con un aumento esponenziale della produzione di grano, cotone e zucchero. In totale, più di un milione di abitanti del Punjab si insediò nelle nuove colonie, spostando la pressione demografica che opprimeva il Punjab centrale. (it)
