Malwa is a region of Punjab and parts of Haryana between the Sutlej and Yamuna rivers. This Malwa should not be confused with the Malwa Plateau region of Madhya Pradesh, Central India.
The people of the region are known as Malwais.
The dialect of Punjabi spoken in Malwa is called Malwi.
Compared to Majha (comprising of Amritsar and Gurdaspur and Tarn Taran districts), Doaba(comprising of Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur, Kapurthala and Nawan Shahr districts) and Powadh (comprising Ropar, Fatehgarh Sahib, Mohali, parts of Patiala), Malwa comprises 10(parts of some) of the twenty districts of Punjab. Districts in Malwa include:
- Barnala
- Bathinda
- Faridkot
- parts of Fatehgarh Sahib
- Firozpur
- Ludhiana
- Mansa
- Moga
- Muktsar
- Patiala
- Sangrur
During the Mughal era, Malwa was known as Sirhind, since it consisted of the city by that name. Sirhind was the headquarters or the Mughal administration in Eastern Punjab. The city was also the headquarters of the Mujaddidiya branch of the Naqshbandiyya Order of Sufism. The Order was named after Mujaddid Alif Thani also known as Sheikh Ahmad Sirhindi.
Malwa, like the rest of the province, was also the scene of many clashes between the Mughals, the Sikhs, the Afghans, the Marathas and the British.
