    Ethnographic film detailing a farmer’s visit to the market in Rawalpindi, India.
    This entry in the ‘Empire Series’ focuses on the farmers and markets in Punjab. We join a farmer "heading to Rawal Pindi…with a friend" (his goat). The film shows farmers, herders, loggers and women, giving an overview of the market town and goods for sale such as green corn and rock salt. It takes a cynical view of a medicine man purportedly selling cures. The influence of geographer James Fairgrieve is visible, with the increased consumption of fruits and vegetables among the locals attributed to the high temperature of the Punjab.
    The film culminates in the evening call to prayers at the Juma Mosque, and to Hindus at a nearby temple. The film seems to have been shot as an ethnographic account of an average day in the life of a farmer on market day. The film captures the contrasts that the Punjab offers with its agrarian economy and the trade from rural to urban settings. It also shows the architectural detail of the Juma mosque.

Only 3 Sardars fought against Pakistan (Mengal, Marri, and Bugti), even those tribes are split in half now, as most are with Pakistan. Especially Bugtis, who in great numbers are joining Pak Military. Ever heard of Azam Post during the Kargil war??? Well Maj. Azam Baloch Khan was a Scion of Bugti tribe, and he trounced indians in Tololing for over a year. Get the Picture!!! While the other, rather Rest of the 300 Sardars voted and vouched for Pakistan. BTW, The total number of Insurgents creating trouble in Pakistan via Kandahar indian embassy, is less then 2000, and total Baloch people against Pakistan are less then 20,000. Balochistan has a total population of 10,000,000 plus people. Do the Math. You indians must wake out of your dream slumbers. Your Bangaladesh model will never work here, We have been defeating this model, here, since 20 years. And we will keep fighting indians where ever we can & will find them. A Baloch, was, is, and will always be with Islam and Pakistan.
      BTW, I'm a Baloch, from Ormara, I belong to HassanZai clan. I'm GrandSon of Sardar Wajih Hasan Khan Baloch ShamZadd, the same Sardar who along with Peer of Pagara, fought indian armys 10 Corp in Thar Desserts during 1965 & 1971 wars.

      @haaasibhasb8837 6 ปีที่แล้ว +40

      Mrinal Singh ,, the city was not named after hindu at all, correct your history. The word "Rawalpindi" consists of two Punjabi words; Rawal, and Pindi. The origin of the name may derive from the combination of two words: Rawal, meaning "lake" in Punjabi, and Pind, meaning "village." The combination of the two words thus means "The village of lake".
      The city neither was established by hindus nor by any single community as muslims, sikhs and hindus all lived there under Muslim mughals.
      The first mention of Rawalpindi's earliest settlement dates from when Mahmud of Ghazni gifted a ruined town to the Gakhar chief Kai Gohar in the early 11th century. The town fell into decay again after Mongol invasions in the 14th century.[19] Situated along an invasion route, the settlement did not prosper and remained deserted until 1493, when Jhanda Khan re-established the ruined town, and named it Rawal.
      I suggest u to read some history.

      Haaasib hasb,as you know better that Indian education system is far better than yours,so don't teach or preach me what to read about history.Your sole problem is that you people always denies Reality
      Even your mother tongue Punjabi originated from Hindi(sanskrit)not from Arabic.
      पंजाब ,ਪੰਜਾਬੀ,پنجابی‬ First tell me I have written Punjab in three languages.
      If your are not idiot or dumb then you will see that Hindi and Punjabi are so similar while your Urdu seems foriegner among three
      This simple example says a lot
      So similarly all Muslims of Pakistan Afghanistan India and Bangladesh orinated from Hinduism.

      Haaasab hasb,for you information if you are not madarsachap then don't share only medieval history from wikipedia,share also ancient history of Rawalpindi ok brother.
      And this is ancient history,what now I am mentioning
      The region around Rawalpindi has been inhabited for thousands of years. Rawalpindi falls within the ancient boundaries of Gandhara, and is in a region littered with Buddhist ruins. In the region north-west of Rawalpindi, traces have been found of at least 55 stupas, 28 Buddhist monasteries, 9 temples, and various artifacts in the Kharoshthi script.[15] To the southeast are the ruins of the Mankiala stupa - a 2nd-century stupa where, according to the Jataka tales, a previous incarnation of the Buddha leapt off a cliff in order to offer his corpse to seven hungry tiger cubs.[16] The nearby town of Taxila is thought to have been home to the world's first university.[17] Sir Alexander Cunningham identified ruins on the site of the Rawalpindi Cantonment as the ancient city of Ganjipur (or Gajnipur), the capital of the Bhattitribe in the ages preceding the Christian era.[18]
      And I think that all are well aware of fact and reality that buddhism originated from Hinduism
      Bhagwan Buddha real name was Siddharth (a hindu Rajput prince)

    So some Hindus and Sikhs on this thread are claiming that there are many Hindus and Sikhs per-partition in this location. The irony is they are making the claim on a clip that shows Muslims in Muslim garments, arguably there is one Hindu, around 5.46 and one Sikh, around 6.15, in the clip. The rest I'm sorry to say look Muslim by dress.

    We as people should also do our fair part to keep things good instead of always depending on governments. Because the government culture is first people in the governments (specially in Pakistan) are corrupt with no exceptions of any political party or Military dictatorship. In the west common people not only pay their tax honestly but they also participate in keeping things in order. A simple example is people throw their garbage in the garbage cans. Those garbage cans are provided by property, business owners, parks, schools, hospitals. This is the culture that some of these things are available everywhere i.e. Bathrooms/Restrooms/latrines and garbage cans almost everywhere. If you go to a restaurant or any other store they have these things available for the public and free. Do we have those things in Pakistan and other neighboring countries? Answer is No. Then who should be blame? I think we need include these things in education. Kids are taught what should go in the garbage and what should go in the recycle bin in the schools in the US. The result is it is clean everywhere. I dont thing if we can find that much garbage sitting here and there in the entire country like US as much it could be seen just in one city Rawalpindi. We need to educate our politicians as well. But generally it will come with the education. The interesting thing is cleanliness is part of the faith in Islam and everyone hears and reads this but no one practice it. We have another bad culture to have peons in offices and drivers for any low level office in almost all the government organizations and this is considered such a shame to do any work by your hand if you are a person who works sitting on the chair. In the US a big person holding the position of CEO will do their own work i.e. they will go and get their coffee, water and meal for themselves. But in country like Pakistan this is just not possible. A Pakistani engineer of any level will never touch their work with their hands as they dont have culture of working by themselves and wear work dress at the site but they will be dressed with three piece suit or ironed shalwar qameez. Well there is whole allot but I am going to stop here as the message is getting so long. I probably should write blog instead. Short story is we as a nation have to change to have a good change which wont take too long may be one or two generations...
