Bahawalpur District, Administrative district in Punjab, Pakistan
The Bahawalpur District spans 24,830 square kilometers, with two-thirds of its territory covered by the expansive Cholistan Desert extending toward India.
The district emerged as a significant region after Muhammad Bin Qasim conquered Sindh and Multan in 711 AD, establishing Arab rule under the Umayyad Caliphate.
The population predominantly speaks Saraiki and Punjabi languages, with these two languages accounting for over ninety percent of communication in the region.
The district connects to major Pakistani cities through the N-5 national highway, while serving as a distribution center for cotton, wheat, millet, and rice.
The territory contains archaeological evidence of 400 ancient forts scattered throughout the Cholistan Desert, indicating centuries of human settlement in the region.
