Karianwala is a town and tehsil in Gujrat District, Punjab, Pakistan. Documents in local archives indicate that it was founded in 1206–1207.〔 It was the site of a battle in 1780 CE. The name "Karianwala" is derived from the Punjabi/Urdu word "Kari", which means a "chain". It was reported that in Karianwala, steel chains were produced, so it has been called "Karianwala" which means "a place where chains are produced". Immigrants from Mandeer, a district in Karianwala, have migrated to and are working and living in Europe, mainly Denmark, Norway and France. *Pakistan, Punjabi language is spoken by 95%. Other languages include: *Urdu being national language is spoken and understood. *English is also understood and spoken by the sizable educated people. ==History== The precise origin of Karianwala has been a mystery for the local historians;〔 however, there is evidence that a town settlement was built in the years AD 1206-1207, by a slave known as Saiy Satwan, at the direction of Qutbuddin Aibak, a king of northwest India, who was the first Sultan of Delhi and founder of the Ghulam dynasty (Mamluk Sultanate) of India. During the reign of Akbar, Masami Mahbu settled a base under the name "Akbarabad". Later, the descendants of Masami inhabited Karianwala, and they built other towns in the surrounding area.〔 〕 A fort, known as Islamgarh Fort, had been constructed at Islamgarh, near to Karianwala. During 1828, Mahaja Ranjit Singh built a mint in the area.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Karianwala」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
