Pun‧jab, the /ˈpʌndʒɑːb/
a large area in eastern Pakistan and northwestern India. The Punjab was a single province in the period of British rule, but it is now two states: one in Pakistan, which contains the city of Lahore, and one in India, which contains the city of Amritsar, a holy place for followers of the Sikh religion. Many of the people who live in the Indian Punjab are Sikhs, and some of them would like to become independent from India.
