HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY OF SUKERCHAKIA MISAL TILL THE EMERGENCE OF SIKH EMPIRE

Abstract

The word "Historical geography," must include the impact of geography on historical event and
in this case, Sukerchakia Misal from its origin to its expansionist form has explained in the
context of historical geography, definitely, historical reflections principally conditioned new
geographical engagements. It was the geographical location of Sukerchakia Misal that helped it
to expand and encompass the areas of all other Misals and turn into an empire. This study has
provided insight of the events of history that led to establish a Misal in the Punjab region and
turned into an empire with special reference to geographical location of the important areas. This
study identifies the Sukerchakia Misal as an important geographical region in the Rechna Doab
(an area between rivers Ravi and Chenab) that became gradually strong enough to encompass all
other Sikh Misals and ultimately transformed into an Empire due to its geographical location.
