Punjab Chiefs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Punjab Chiefs were various ruling families who held positions of authority in Punjab. Sir Robert Montgomery, Lieutenant-Governor of the Punjab in the 1860s during British Rule, commissioned the histories of the Punjab Chiefs and notable families to be written and compiled. The intention of the work was to give a picture of the Punjab aristocracy as it existed at the time. It was first published in 1909.
| “ | 'but as a general rule, only the histories of those men have been written who possess , at the present time , rank wealth or local influence [1] | ” |
