Dina is a small city located in the Jhelum District of the Punjab province in Pakistan. The city has a rich history dating back to ancient times.
During the reign of the Mauryan Empire in the 3rd century BCE, the area where Dina is located was part of the Gandhara region. In the 7th century CE, the region was under the control of the Hindu Shahi dynasty, which was later conquered by the Ghaznavid Empire in the 11th century CE.
In the 16th century, Dina was part of the Mughal Empire and served as a military outpost for the empire. During this time, the city’s strategic location near the River Jhelum made it an important center of trade and commerce.
In the 19th century, Dina became part of the British Raj and was connected to the rest of India by the North-Western Railway. The railway station in Dina was an important stop for trains traveling between Lahore and Rawalpindi.
After the partition of India in 1947, Dina became part of Pakistan. Today, the city is home to a diverse population and has a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial areas. The main industries in Dina include textiles, sugar mills, and agricultural products.
