The Malwa belt in Punjab is always considered the biggest and politically influential region, particularly during Assembly elections, where if a party secures maximum Assembly seats in this belt, it can easily form the government in the State.
Punjab can broadly be divided into three regions — Malwa, Majha and Doaba.
Beyond the Sutlej river, it is called the Malwa region, the Doaba region falls between the Beas and Sutlej rivers, while Majha falls between the Ravi and the Beas rivers.
