Punjab province (then comprising Punjab, Haryana and part of Himachal Pradesh),

Province (or Punjab, Haryana and Himachal as of today). Moreover, he was an
Indian independence movement leader. He was jailed twice by the British Empire,
once for five years for organizing protests against British rule. His political
influence and views are still considered to dominate politics in Punjab. He was
