History
The history of Sohdra town dates back to before Christ. According to some history books, the history of this town is shared with Harappa and Mohenjodaro, as a town of Taxila period. The historical evidence of this town proves this to be true. The tombs of Nogs and the bricks laid thirty feet below the ground during the excavation are similar to Taxila, Mohenjodaro and Harappa. It is said about this town that it was settled by Mahmud Ghaznavi, which is completely wrong.
During Maharaja Ranjit Singh's rule in the 19th century, Sodhra fort remained under the command of Sikh Army general Sulakhan Singh Puar.
