in northern India, a village on the left bank of the Sutlej, 18 miles west of the town of Loodiana. The place, though in itself insignificant, is associated with historical recollections of interesting character. At the commencement of the year 1848, a large body of Sikhs crossed the river from the Punjab for the purpose of intercepting the communications of the British army of the Sutlej. They were met at Aliwal by Major-General Sir Harry Smith, who, on the 28th January, attacked and routed them with great slaughter. The tactics displayed by the British officer commanding in this action were deemed by the best military judges of the day deserving of the highest praise. Lat. 30° 58', Long. 75° 37'.
