HISTORY
The name ‘Ludhiana’ is derived from the Lodhi dynasty who founded the city in 1480. The
area was also a part of the Sarkar of Sirhind, during the reign of Mughal emperor Akbar.
The western area of the district was leased to the Rais of Raikot, who became semi-
independent from Mughals during the 18th century. From 1707-1835, the district remained
independent and was under the rule of Sikh Chieftains. Ahmad Shah Durrani invaded
Ludhiana and fought the imperial army near Khanna, but the Mughals were able to stop
him, in 1747. However, his successive invasions weakened the Mughals, who allowed the
Rais to control the town in 1760. During the rule of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, Ludhiana
became an important cantonment for the British. Ranjit Singh occupied Ludhiana in 1805.
