dunno about it but Amritsar is bigger than Jalandhar. its punjabs biggest city and important one and called guru de nagri
Do you know that according to 1891 census of punjab Amritsar was the biggest city of punjab in terms of populaiton closely followed by lahore. Then in 20th century Lahore saw a population boom and became the biggest city of punjab as early as 1911 (census) years. Lahore however was always considered the cultural capital of punjab but surprisingly it was amritsar which was the most populated city of punjab till 19th century. This is something I only recently discovered when I was checking the population census of punjab during british times. This might also explain why so many kashmiris chose amritsar to settle in punjab.
