History
A 'Gandasa' is a Punjabi implement primarily used in cultivation and farming. It consists of a long stick of wood with a wide blade attached to one end. It resembles a very large axe, although it is used in a different manner.The use of the gandasa as a weapon was made famous by the Lollywood film Maula Jatt and its sequels, in which the implement was portrayed as an excalibur-like weapon used in the Punjabi action films for fighting and killing other people.
