The full picture

ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦੇ ਸਾਰੇ ਪਿੰਡ, ਜ਼ਿਲ੍ਹੇ ਵਾਰEvery village in Punjab, district by district.

Open a district, open a tehsil, and its villages are right there. Three records wrote the name of every one and they do not always write it the same way — each record keeps its own colour. Nothing here is marked correct.

A fourth record is older than all three: Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha’s Mahan Kosh, first published in 1930. It gives an entry only to villages with a story — a Guru’s visit, a gurdwara, a battle — so its column is mostly empty. Every Punjab village in the Mahan Kosh →

Beside the census of 2011 stand two older ones — 1961, read off the printed district handbooks, and 1991. Each found its village by the same revenue number, thirty and sixty years before today’s spellings.

The last column gathers what Punjab’s own panchayat registers and district websites write — only lists a person typed. Two district lists that a machine converted from English are left out.
