History

During British rule, the town became part of Wazirabad Tehsil, and it was located on the route of the North-Western railway. According to the 1901 census, the population of the town was 5,050, and it was administered as a notified area. In 2010, the population of the town was more than 115,000 according to Mr. Hafiz Malik Awais, son of Malik Mohammed Nazeer, of kakeyzaian Sodhra. It is a place of some antiquity, and it had given its name to the Chenab or to that part of it which lies in the plains, prior to the invasion of Mahmud of Ghazni. The river then flowed close under the town in the north, but it is now over a mile away.[3] During Maharaja Ranjit Singh rule on Lahore in 19th century sodhra fort remained under the command of Dal Khalsa general Sardar Sulakhan Singh Puar.

gollark: If you want something slightly better than your current GPU, there's the RX 580, which is quite cheap, and yes the naming schemes are stupid.
gollark: Performance comparable.
gollark: The Vega 56 is somewhat lower-end than the 64, and the Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti is I think comparable to that (probably worth checking out benchmarks for the specific games you play), but turns out to be a lot cheaper in Australia.
gollark: I think the Radeon RX 5700 (NOT the much older 5700 series HD ones) is *fairly* perf-comparable to the Vega 64, and they seem to be similar prices in Australia.
gollark: I think the AMD Vega cards have been replaced by the Navi ones now, which got released on Sunday.
