Jalandhar: Charanjit Singh Channi Not only became the first Dalit-Sikh Chief Minister Punjab But he is also the first person from Pudh region of Punjab to hold this post. The region he belongs to is often incorrectly referred to as part of Malwa, while the region has its own old, distinct identity and even has its own dialect. Punjabi – Pudhi. In fact, Chandigarh was also carved out completely from the villages of the Pudh region.
India’s first Defense Minister Baldev Singh was the first prominent politician of the region before and after Partition. He had become a minister in the Punjab government before 1947 and opened the region’s first government college in Ropar. He focused on education in the region, which appeared backward as compared to other areas. He was instrumental in negotiations as a Sikh leader during Partition, and later his nephew Ravi Inder Singh remained the Speaker of the Punjab Legislative Assembly.
The Pudh region is the eastern part of Punjab and is spread over parts of Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and even UP. The general understanding is that this region is between rivers but has no natural demarcation from Malwa. The region has very important Sikh historical places, including Anandpur Sahib and Chamkaur Sahib, the assembly constituency represents Channi.
Apart from the entire districts of Ropar, Mohali, Fatehgarh Sahib, parts of Patiala, Sangrur, Ludhiana and newly created districts Malerkotla There are also parts of the Pudh region.
However, the identity of the region remains largely unclear despite the fact that it has a dialect that can be clearly distinguished from other dialects or the ‘standard’ Punjabi in use.
When Channi speak, the dialect marks are noticeable. Due to their rise, the unique identity of the area can also get its proper place. Since Malwa has been politically dominant for a long time, being the largest region after the reorganization of Punjab in 1966 and its influential leaders, it absorbed the Pudh identity.
