Mudki

Mudki is a town in the Ferozepur district of the Indian state of Punjab. It is situated in the northwestern part of the country and forms part of a rural region where agriculture is the main economic activity.

Mudki is historically significant for the Battle of Mudki, fought on 18 December 1845 between the British East India Company forces and the Sikh army during the First Anglo-Sikh War. The engagement was one of the early major battles of the conflict and ended in a British victory after intense fighting, shaping the course of subsequent campaigns in Punjab.

In contemporary times, Mudki’s economy is primarily agricultural, with surrounding areas cultivating crops such as wheat, rice, and pulses. The town serves as a local market hub for nearby villages and supports basic educational and civic facilities to meet the needs of residents.

Mudki is frequently noted in discussions of the First Anglo-Sikh War and is part of the broader historical landscape of Punjab in the mid-19th century.
