Punjab (i/pʌnˈdʒɑːb/) (Punjabi: ਪੰਜਾਬ Hindi: पंजाब) is a state in the northwest of the Republic of India, forming part of the larger Punjab region. The state is bordered by the Indian states of Himachal Pradesh to the east, Haryana to the south and southeast and Rajasthan to the southwest as well as the Pakistani province of Punjab to the west, it is also bounded to the north by Jammu and Kashmir. The state capital is Chandigarh, which is a Union Territory and also the capital of neighbouring state of Haryana. Major cities of Punjab includes Ludhiana, Amritsar, Patiala, Jalandhar, Bathinda and Mohali.
After the partition of India in 1947, the Punjab province of British India was divided between India and Pakistan. The Indian Punjab was divided in 1966 with the formation of the new states of Haryana and Himachal Pradesh as well as the current state of Punjab. Punjab is the only state in India with a majority Sikh population.
The Greeks referred to Punjab as Pentapotamia, an inland delta of five converging rivers. In Avesta, the sacred text of Zoroastrians, the Punjab region is associated with the ancient hapta həndu or Sapta Sindhu, the Land of Seven Rivers. The British used to call Punjab "Our Prussia."[citation needed] Historically, the Punjab region has been the gateway to the Indian subcontinent for people from Greece, Central Asia, Iran and Afghanistan and Vice-versa.
Punjab (Shahmukhī: پنجاب, Persian: پنجاب, panj-āb, "five waters": Punjab.ogg (help·info)), also spelled Panjab is the most populous province of Pakistan, with approximately 62% of the country's total population. Forming most of the Punjab region, the province is bordered by Kashmir (Azad Kashmir, Pakistan and Jammu and Kashmir, India) to the north-east, the Indian states of Punjab and Rajasthan to the east, the Pakistani province of Sindh to the south, the province of Balochistan to the southwest, the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to the west, and the Islamabad Capital Territory to the north. The Punjab is home to the Punjabis and various other groups. The main languages are Punjabi and Saraiki and the dialects of Mewati and Potowari. The name Punjab derives from the Persian words Panj (پنج) (Five), and Āb (آب) (Water), i.e. (the) Five Waters - referring to five tributaries of the Indus River from which is also the origin of the name of "India" - these being Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej, that flow through the larger Punjab.

Whos' the man with his instrument ready, willing and waiting?

When you start your plain' - Mama starts a-swayin'
She's right there with 'em - stompin' that rhythym
Banjo boy, banjo boy, play the razzamatazz
You're the sunny southland's king
You set Dixie hummin' it - when you started strummin' it
See those fingers goin'
When you start to syncopate
Songbirds seem to orchestrate
The Swanee stops it's flowin'
Just hear him play
Who can plunk your heartstrings full of joy
That's banjo boy
COMPANY

Don't you know
Love him so
Let him swing
And do his thing
He's the king
Ring-a-ding

In those southern sunny skies
Feet will start their fidgets - see those magic digits
Hands are a clappin' - fingers a snappin'
Banjo boy, banjo boy, play that favourite tune

Can't you hear the people cry
Wann see those fingers fly

Whose name they shout from Maine to Illinois?

Banjo boy!
I wanna be a rock star and travel really far
And buy me a big expensive car
And make lots of money and find me a honey
And live in nice big house where it's sunny
With a pool and I'll be cool
I'll always have a gig 'cause I'll be big
I'll have parties and friends and places to go
The only problem is I play the banjo, I play the banjo
I'm a post Hee-Haw mover
A funkadelic punk-rock groover
A cross between Bela Fleck
And Eddie Vedder but better
I'll win a Grammy for the way I pick
I'll be an instrumental monster with tons of new licks
And all the babes will love me to sell-out shows
The only problem is I play the banjo, I play the banjo
Well, I play the banjo
Play the banjo, play the banjo
I play the banjo, I play the banjo
Well, I play the banjo
Play the banjo, play the banjo
I play the banjo, I play the banjo
I say hear me boys, here my rhyme
I'm picking on the banjo all the time
I say hear me boys, here my song
Picking on the banjo all day long, picking
I have a Lear Jet and a limousine
And everywhere I go my fans will scream
Hey Banjo Boy, we love you
I wish that we could all play the banjo too
And you'll see me on the TV talk show
With Dave and Conan and Jay Leno
The only problem is I play the banjo
Well, I play the banjo
Play the banjo, play the banjo
I play the banjo, I play the banjo
Well, I play the banjo
Play the banjo, play the banjo
Well, I play the banjo, I play the banjo
Well, I play the banjo
Play the banjo, play the banjo
I play the banjo, I play the banjo
I play the banjo
Play the banjo, play the banjo
