Here is a big paragraph summarizing the history of Mandi Bahauddin:
Mandi Bahauddin, a city in Pakistan, has a rich history dating back to 326 BCE when the Battle of the Hydaspes River was fought between Raja Porus and Alexander the Great, just 8 km northwest of the modern-day city. The city itself was established in 1506 CE by Gondal tribal Chief Bahauddin, who migrated from Pindi Shahjahanian and founded a settlement called Pindi Bahauddin. The town remained small until the early 20th century when Sikh, Hindu, and Muslim businessmen and landowners arrived, and the city began to grow around the ancient village of Chak No. 51. The city's map was designed by John Alam, and it became a major grain market, earning the name Mandi-Bahauddin in 1920. The city continued to develop, with the railway station being named Mandi Bahauddin in 1924, and the town being granted town committee status in 1937 and municipal committee status in 1941. The city was reconstructed with nine gates and walls in 1946, and today, the Sadar Gate built during the British era in 1933 still stands as a testament to the city's history. Over time, Mandi Bahauddin has evolved into a thriving city, rich in history and culture.
