In this deep-dive historical documentary, we explore how the British Raj established the Canal Colonies in Punjab during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, profiting immensely—earning over 1 billion rupees, worth more than $5 billion today. But the profit wasn't just financial.

The British used Punjab's rivers, land, and people as tools for military recruitment, rewarding loyal elites, and solidifying colonial control. From granting vast tracts of land to feudal families, religious leaders (Sufi pirs and sajjada nashins), and military personnel, to creating a deeply stratified society, this policy reshaped Punjab’s political, social, and economic landscape.

🔸 Learn how powerful families were empowered while working-class communities like artisans and tenant farmers were deliberately left out.
🔸 Discover how the British created a Military State in Punjab, prioritizing military interests over local development.
🔸 Uncover the role of land grants in politics, religion, and imperial loyalty—and the long-term impact it had on modern-day Pakistan and India.

📌 This story is crucial to understanding the roots of feudal power, military dominance, and political dynasties that still influence South Asia today.
