Multan, a city steeped in history and rich with tales of conquests and conflicts. Located in present-day Pakistan, it has witnessed the rise and fall of empires throughout the ages. In ancient times, this land was conquered by none other than Alexander the Great himself. Legend has it that during his campaign in 326 BC, he encountered a broken ladder while besieging the city. This incident marked an omen for his troops, but they persevered and eventually emerged victorious. Centuries later, Multan became embroiled in the Sikh War against British forces. The year was 1849 when British troops entered Multan to quell resistance during the Second Anglo-Sikh War. Engravings from that era depict their arrival as they sought to establish control over this strategic region. The echoes of conflict continued to reverberate through time as evidenced by an image captured in the 1880s. A British army band is seen performing in Multan, showcasing not only military might but also cultural exchange between nations. Amongst these historical events lies a testament to resilience and strength - the 5th Devon Battalion of the British Army stationed here during colonial India. Their presence symbolized both power projection and governance within this diverse land. Today, Multan stands as a vibrant city where remnants of its past intertwine with modernity. Its streets are adorned with architectural marvels reflecting Mughal influence alongside bustling bazaars offering glimpses into local culture. From Alexander's conquests to battles fought on its soil during colonial times, Multan remains etched in history's annals as a place where civilizations clashed and coexisted simultaneously – truly embodying India's tumultuous journey through time.
