Multan played a significant role as a centre of trade and commerce in the sub-continent’s North-west frontier region through the ages. During the pre-Mughal period, it played a crucial role in the external trade of India and it continued to play a prominent role during the Mughal period as well. The purpose of this study is to trace the origins of its prominence as a commercial centre, as well as the numerous commodities of its import and export, and to what extent and in what manner commerce and manufacturing sectors were fostered. This study will also focus on the historical processes which led to the emergence and development of Multani mercantile community in and outside Indian subcontinent.
