13th Century and Mughal Empire.
Moving forward, historians haven’t found any records of organised mining until the 13th Century by Janjua Raja. One may assume that people had started gathering salt in small-scale operations once they knew its great value.
Later in the 16th century, the Mughal Empire, led by their first Emperor, Babur, started utilizing salt until the empire was utterly exhausted. In 1809, the Punjabi Sikhs kicked the Mughals out of their region and took over the salt mines. By the way, these Sikhs named the salt mines “Khewra.” In an unfortunate turn of events, the British moved in only 40 years.
The Sikhs divided the mines primarily into two sections:
- Hari Singh Nalwa was the Sikh commander-in-chief of the Warcha mine.
- Gulab Sing, the Raja of Jammu, took control of the Khewra mines.
Later, the Sikhs started to use salt for food and trade within the region. They used to transport the salt to Central Asia as a premium-quality trade item. However, at that time, the mining process of Himalayan salt was extremely dangerous due to a lack of equipment. Not only that, the tunnels were narrow with zero availability of water inside. That’s why the Sikhs weren’t fully able to explore the salt deposits.
Discovery of Himalayan Pink Salt.
Some researchers believe that the salt range was initially formed more than 800 million years ago by the natural evaporation process of the shallow underground sea. Later, the geological movement resulted in the salt formation in the mines that now extend to more than 300 km.
Eastwards Campaign of Alexander The Great.
The story of Himalayan salt discovery goes back more than 23 centuries, around 326 BC, when Alexander the Great started his journey eastwards. He recently had achieved a momentous victory over Torus at the Jhelum River, previously known by a Greek name, Hydrates, among many historians.
You can search on Google maps that the Khewra salt mines are pretty close to the Jhelum river. According to the calculation of Alexander’s team of geography experts, the end of the world was only 600 miles away. All he needed was to conquer India to accomplish his milestone of conquering the entire world. However, as history knows, he never conquered the whole world.
At a certain point, while going past the Jhelum River, some of his cavalry horses begin licking the stones. Later, his troops found out that the stones were salty. This way, salt was first discovered in the hills, now known as the salt range.
However, historians aren’t sure about the credibility of the story? At the time of British occupation of the region, it was quite a prevalent concept to associate anything or everything to Alexander the Great, hence the background of the salt discovery.
In essence, Alexander the Great hadn’t discovered the Himalayan salt; instead, it was his horses who made the discovery.
