History
Khushab District was a forested agricultural region during the Indus Valley Civilization. The Vedic period was characterized by Indo-Aryan culture that invaded from Central Asia and settled in the Punjab region. The Kambojas, Daradas, Kaikayas, Madras, Pauravas, Yaudheyas, Malavas, and Kurus invaded, settled and ruled the ancient Punjab region.
After overrunning the Achaemenid Empire in 331 BCE, Alexander the Great marched into the Punjab region with an army of 50,000. The Khushab region was ruled by Maurya Empire, Indo-Greek kingdom, Kushan Empire, Gupta Empire, White Huns, Kushano-Hephthalites and Shahi kingdoms.
In 997 CE, Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi, took over the Ghaznavid dynasty empire established by his father, Sultan Sebuktegin. In 1005, he conquered the Shahis in Kabul in 1005, and followed it by the conquests of the Punjab region. The Delhi Sultanate and, later, the Mughal Empire ruled the region. The Punjab region became predominantly Muslim due to missionary Sufi saints whose dargahs dot the landscape.
After the decline of the Mughal Empire, the Sikh Empire invaded and occupied the Khushab District. During the period of British rule, Khushab district increased in population and importance.
The predominantly Muslim population of Khushab District supported the Muslim League and Pakistan movement. After independence in 1947, the minority Hindus and Sikhs migrated to India while the Muslim refugees, Rajputs, from India settled in the Hadali after Partition of India and Pakistan in 1947. Muslim Rajputs who migrated to India settled in the Hadali.
