Narowal
Narowal (Punjabi / Urdu: نارووال; pronounced [näɾoːˈʋälᵊ]) is a historic city located on the western bank of river Ravi in Punjab, Pakistan.
It was founded by a Jat named Baba Naro Bajwa many centuries ago. The city is the capital of Narowal District, and a part of the Gujranwala division. It is the 94th most populous city of Pakistan. The economy is largely agriculture-based but football manufacturing and handicrafts industries also exist. Narowal houses many universities campuses, including the University of Narowal, University of Engineering and Technology Narowal Campus and the University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences Narowal Campus. The fertile land of Narowal produces one of the supreme quality rice in Pakistan.
A famous Sikh temple, Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur, lies to the east of Narowal.
Although contradictory beliefs exist, the widely held narrative states that Narowal derived its name from a landlord Naro Bajwa in the 16th-century.
In the sixteenth century, Narowal was a small village consisting of only a few houses of labourers around the farmhouse of Land-Lord Naro Bajwa. The city is the capital of Narowal District. The history of modern Narowal dates back to 90 years when Britishers established a railway link between eastern and western Punjab in its bid to strengthen their grip over Punjab. With the establishment of the railway junctions, investment begins to flow and the city begins to flourish with the passage of time. After the partition and establishment of Pakistan, the railway line between the east and west Punjab was blown off for security reasons. Initially, Narowal was a part of Sialkot district, later gained the status of Tehsil before becoming the District in 1992.
According to 2023 census, Narowal had a population of 130,692 which was roughly equal to the population of Cambridge, United Kingdom or Beaumont, Texas, United States. The population of Narowal consists of various ethnic groups including Punjabi almost 80%, the peoples who migrated from India to Pakistan in 1947 during partition (in Pakistan they are known as Muhajir) 19%, and Pathan including other minor groups 1%.
Punjabi is the predominant Language with Urdu second large language.
According to 2023 census, the majority religion in Narowal is Islam, at 98%. Christians make upto 1.5% of the population while Hindus and Sikhs make up the other 0.5%. Narowal is very religious tolerant city.
