Labana

[2][3] The history of the Lavana/Labana community traces back to their association with the salt trade and transportation, which influenced their name and occupation.

According to Kahn Singh Nabha in Mahan Kosh, the term 'Lubana' is linked to the Sanskrit word 'Lavan,' signifying salt.

Members of the Lubana tribe engaged in salt trading, suggesting that their name is closely related to their traditional business activities.

[5] Additionally, Gurcharan Singh highlights the popularity of a game called 'lun - Miani' among the Lubanas until 1947 AD.

[6] Over the centuries, the Lubana community has evolved and diversified, engaging in various other professions and adapting to changing times.
