Mithankot

Mithankot stands on the western bank of the Indus, below its meeting with the Panjnad, the combined waters of Punjab's rivers. The junction has not always been in the same place. In 1790 the Indus changed its course, moving its meeting with the Punjab rivers from Uch to the vicinity of Mithankot. The shift exposed Nahar lands north of the old riverbed to attacks by the Daudputras, showing how a change in the great river could alter the boundaries of power as well as the channels of the plain.
