Fazika, India History
Fazilka is a city and a municipal council in Punjab, India. In 2011, it was made the headquarters of the newly created Fazilka district.
Fazilka is surrounded by Jalalabad Tehsil towards East, Khuian Sarwar Tehsil towards South, Abohar Tehsil towards South, Muktsar Tehsil towards East.
Fazilka is known for a style of jhumar dance propagated by the late Baba Pokhar Singh (1916 - 2002). Pokhar Singh's family had migrated from the Montgomery district of Western Punjab, and they claimed to represent the Ravi style of jhumar. However, Fazilka had its own style of jhummar (which they refer to as the Satluj style). Therefore, at least two regional styles were mixed in everyday life, and in his jhummar routine (which was basically the same each time, and which family and friends still perform today), Pokhar identified several other regional actions.
