Kasur is after the name of Raja Kusa son of Maharaja Ram Chand
and Sitta Gee of Ajodhya (they were among the characters of
Mahabhartha).) (Ref: Sir Monier: William Monier pp 296, 898).
Qasur is the plural of word Qasar means Palace. So Qasur means
city of Palace, as there were many Palaces (32Palaces) here in Kasur in
the Mogul Kingship. However with the ravages of times old buildings
of Kasur were came under wear and tear gradually. However
some reminiscent of those days monumental as of a 12 gate Hall
called Saleem Jamand's Baradari is still located near Church
Katchahry Road/ Kot Ghulam Muhammad Khan Kasur City. Anyway
in the reign of Mogul King Ahmad Shah (Rengeela Badshah) Kasur

Gratitude:
Thanks to Allah Almighty for His infinite blessings and world-wide
fame as an author of various treatises including Geniuses of Kasur.
Readers of every rank and file, Civil, Judicial and Military Officers as
well as the intensive level students to the PhDs Doctors and PostDoctoral learned laureates perused, appraised and applauded it.
It is available on internet search engines like www.google.com,
www.altavista.com,
www.mamma.com,
www.ask.com,
www.answers.com and also on www.orkut.com, www.facebook.com
www.scribd.com, www.slideshare.com . Its glory is witnessed as it is
viewed/ downloaded about 35000 times, till date. Many authors of
books, thesis and websites had used it for reference. Its diction is in
complacency. The online encyclopaedia, www.wikipedia.com has been
enjoying literary subscription from it. Some authors have plagiarised
material from the book Geniuses of Kasur. Although their act is
illegal and un-ethical but it is again their confession of their noncompetence to research and write of their own. Anyway, it is another
attribution to the book Geniuses of Kasur, that various websites on
Kasur including www.kasur.org have taken material from it.
Dr. Shahbaz Malik PhD. Ex. Head of Department, Professor of
Emeritus (Punjab University) has told me that he is the big admirer of
the Geniuses of Kasur and on Raqab Kasuris, literary contribution;
he had enormous appraisal and analytical work.
In 2012 General Manager PEMRA Pakistan Mr. Javed Iqbal, while
surfing on internet had suddenly found this book and studied it. He
made telephone call and appreciated the work. He hosted a sitting
with me in Islamabad, and there we had discussed the book
thoroughly.
Brigadier Muhammad Javed Akhtar presently Director ANF Pakistan
studied its internet Edition and thrashed the book. He hosted a gala
lunch in my honour and we talked the book as well as the Geniuses
and the Genesis of Kasur at very considerable length. He had been
the Commandant of PMA Pakistan Military Academy Kakool,
Abbotabad. And was feeling much honour for him and for other 28
Kasuris on being the Commissioned Officer in the loyal armed forces
of Pakistan in 2013. He took interest in publishing the excerpts of this
book in Al-Hilal, the official Pakistan Civil-Military Gazetteer.
General (R) Muhammad Qayum, Colonel (R) Ahmad Javed, Colonel (R)
Khursheed Alam and Colonel Zia Chohan are among those Military
Officers who have very laudably accolade the heroic role of the

Topography of Kasur District shows
that it lies between the River Sutlej,
River Bias and River Ravi.
River Sutlej flows along its boundaries
with India and River Bias is also
adjacent to River Sutlej but water is
generally used by India, as she had
built a head works on it, however in
rainy season its spill ways are opened,
that cause flood in Kasur.
River Ravi flows along its boundary
with Sheikhupura District.
The districts may be divided into two
parts, a low lying (Hithar) area along
the two bordering rivers and upland,
away from the rivers. The lower areas
become generally inundated during the
monsoon season.
Moreover, in the low lying (Hithar) the
under soil water level is higher than in
the upland (Otar). The soil is
sandy. The upland is flat plains sloping
from north-west to south-west. The
general height of the area is 715 Feet
(218meters) above the sea level. And
maximum 750 feet ASL.
Generally in Kasur the rainy season is
during the monsoon (July, August).
However, the winter rain falls during 3
months December, January, February
and March. Usually annual rain fall is
recorded as 23 to 31 Millimetres.
The effect of water logging and salinity
made the underground water brackish
one.
There are about 50000 connections in
Kasur. Industrial and commercial
connections are about 20000
The grid station capability is of 132 KV
Line.

Flood and rain in monsoon season
posed the challenge by two divisions in
Kasur. Those are one by River Sutlej
and the other by inundation of lowlaying areas of city due to Monsoon
rains.
Another facing prong is hitting Kasur
by Flood in Rohi Nullah.
To save human life and property,
minimizing
human
misery
and
sufferings, protecting vital installations
and equipment by organizing timely
information, evacuation, rescue, relief
and rehabilitation measures are the
prime issues related to the issue.
River Sutlej enters into Pakistan at
Talwar Post of Ganda Singh Wala Tehsil
Kasur and River Ravi at village
Lakhanke Bhangoor of Tehsil Pattoki
District Kasur.
There are protection bunds to protect
the area. The most susceptible areas in
this context are Nagar Eman Pura,
Sehjra, Chanda Singh wala, GuttyKalanger, Kasokey, Mastekey in Tehsil
Kasur and in Tehsil Pattoki villages of
Lakhanke Bhangoor, Sarai Chamb, etc
of Phool Nagar Police Station.
Rivers flood can cause havoc in and
along the riverbeds.
River Sutlej ranges of Normal Low
Flood 70000, Medium Flood 150000
and High Flood 300000 kiosks.
River Ravi Normal Low Flood 40000,
Medium Flood 65000 and High Flood
90000 kiosks.
Although River Sutlej is a dormant
river but History of Flood in District
Kasur reflects that River Sutlej in1988
wreak the area with high flood of
525000 Kiosks.
River Ravi in 1995 was highly flooded

as 826000 Kiosks. That proved

exceptionally High Flood in Kasur.
Generally flood is expected during
monsoon
season
from
July
to
September.
River Sutlej starts from Himalaya range
of mountains (Tibet- China) and flows
towards Punjab and enters in Pakistan
10 miles upstream Ferozpur Head
Works in India. It is a perennial and
major River in the subcontinent.
The River Bias meets with Sutlej at
upstream of Hare-ky Head Works in
India.
River Ravi reaches at Shahdara Lahore,
after travelling 72 miles from Jassar
and then after running for few miles
parallel to Lahore Multan Road reaches
Balloki Head works Pattoki Kasur with
travelling distances of 54 miles.
While editing the contents for this new
Edition, now in August 2013, the River
Sutlej again came under medium flood
range in Kasur.
Presently cultivated area of Kasur is
about 700000 acres whereas total area
able to be cultivated is about 10,
00,000 acres.
Agriculture is 2nd major sector of the
economy of Kasur District.

Kasur was Kashoor
Tareekh e Mohzan e Punjab by Mufti

Ghulam Sarwar in 1285 A.H.) Says that
Kashoor is renowned as Kasur. He
further said that word Kasur is said as a
common-wrong, whereas the actual word
is Kashoor.
Kasur, the battlefield

Tareekh e Lahore by Syed Muhammad

Latief on page 52 that Lahore, Kasur and
Patti were among the areas of battlefield
of Alexander the grand (332 BC).
Lahawar now Lahore and Kasawar now
Kasur; renowned for Buddhism.
Kasur is between Bari Dooaab means
that it is within the River Beas and River
Ravi. Tareekh e Lahore by Syed
Muhammad Latief.
But, however, now both rivers Beas and
Sutlej are made joint before the reach at
Ganda Singh headworks and their
entrance to Pakistan, even then Kasur is
in between the Ganda Singh Headworks
of those Rivers and Balloki Headworks of
River Ravi.
Tareikh I Mokhzan I Punjab says that
Kashoor is famous as Kasur, and the city
(Kasur) is situated on the right side, 9
mile away from the River Sutlej (River
Ghara), and it is about 24 koos (57 KM)
away from Lahore, towards south east
and southern side.

centuries.

is located at 34 Miles (54 Kilometre)

Mr. Karamat Ali Khan Kasuri Ex.

Secretary Information Punjab in his
thesis Kasur and Afghan of Kasur has
written that the location of the old city
Kasur was the old bed of Beas River and
due to Beas River as well as Rohi Nullah,
it came into the devastation caused by
them. Whereas the city has many
lengthy mounds. Archiving can reveals
the factual position that city Kasur is
dwelled and ruin time and again. On the
surrounding of the city there was a large
Jungle called Lakhi Jungle that goes to
the Dipalpur on the river bank. Hindus
says that Kasur was formed by Ram
Chander and Rani Setas son Raja
Kusa; on whose name this city is called
Kasur and he had given it the name as
Kas-Pur. Now it is renowned as a
common wrong as Kasur. Raja Kusa and
Raja Lao were brothers. Lao dwelled LaoPur now called as Lahore. Both the cities
are age fellow Kasur was very vast but
ravaged by the passage of time. When
Amir Tamur came (in 1398) he had given
this city to his well wishers Afghans.

and on his name the city is called and his
brother Raja Lahu founded Lah Pur now

Mufti Ali ul Din Son of Mufti Khair ul din
in the book Ibrat Namma contains
important information about Kasur. Its
volume I page 86- 87 describes about
Kasur and Kasu sons of Rama, the
legend of Mahabharata.
Mahabharata is an epic written by poet
Rushi Vayasa (with some Co-authors)
about 2400 years ago. Its dimensions are
about 90000 verses. It tells us about
battles among Kuros and Pandos.
Whereof, the tragic battle was fought at
the place called Guru Kashtar. Many
local Rajas took part. Once Prince Arjan
retreat to fight against his relatives but
the Hindus Deity Krishna G Maharaj
who is considered to be the shadow of
Vishnu, convinced him to continue fight,
hence the battle was lasted for 18 days.
There was heavy toll of death from both
sides but however, Pandos were the
winners. Whereas Coros had to face
heavy loss. Kasu was the son of Ram
Chander, and Kasur city is in his name,
whereas in Kasur others areas in the
names of the said Ram Chander family
and relatives are also available in Kasur
as Raja Jang, Kot Radha Kishan etc.

Genesis of Kasur. Some objection may be
raised on its authenticity, because it was

Geniuses of Kasur
by

scribed on Kasur and Kasuri Pathans by
a man who himself was a Kasuri Pathan,
but however, I have time and again
submitted that it is the only oldest
available hand-written book on the
subject- matter, hence, it is relevant to be
referred. Fortunately I have perused the
original book also. The author of Akhbaral-Awliya said that the Kasuri Pathans
belong to Yakka Tutt, Arughistan. On
page 279 onward, it says that it was the
outcome of revelation of dreams and
thereafter consultation that Pathans
entered in the military service of King
Babur, who was on the verge of bold
advancement in connection with his
military expedition to Hindustan. King
Babur had assured them for proper jobs
and financial sharing at the ratio of 1/4th
revenue collection of Delhi area, the
agreement was executed by affixing
special regal seal of the King Babur. In
the battlefield of PaniPat (among King
Abrahim Lodhi and King Babur in 1526),
King Abrahim killed (he used the word
Shahadat). On conquering India, King
Babur, his son King Humayun and his
son King Akbar continued with the
agreement with Pathans. After the
passage of time, one Nazar Bahdur from
Kasur met to the King Shah Jahan and
told him about that historical agreement.
King Shah Jahan re-confirmed to
Pathans the Revenue collection of Kasur

The book also mentioned King Tamur,
King Khizar Khan, King Mubarak Shah,
King Jahangir and many others as well
as with substantial delineation about
many saints of Kasur. On page 102 it is
mentioned that King Akbar, invited in
Palace, to Sheikh Allah-dad from Kasur,
for a musical Night (Mehfal e Samaa). But
Sheikh refused, as he considered, that
was a hearsay.
Kasur is a place of
great antiquity.
The book An Afghan Colony at Qasur by

Dr. Muhammad Shaffi says that Kasur is
a place of great antiquity, due to its being
old one.
As per District Gazetteer Lahore page
1331 Kasur is an old city of the Punjab.
As research scholars considered it is
established in the era of 200 to 500 B.C.
in the period of Raja Ram Chander and
his Son Kash alias Kasu.

On Kasur Dipalpur Road, the area spread

Sirkar of Dipalpur (old Multan Province)
and the joint stream of the Sutlej and
Beas spread here over leagues of lowland, after the rains. The area which was
overgrown with an almost impenetrable
jungle afforded a safe retreat for lawless
people of all descriptions.

big city. When Mughal King Timur came
to Punjab, he gifted the city Kasur and its
areas to his well-wishers Afghans. After
King Timur, Bahlul Lodhi was the
Governor of Dipalpur and Lahore, he

The Name of Kasur

and the rulers -Saga

are

Whereas it is pertinently discussed time

and again that many people are
nonconformist to other narrations about
the name of Kasur and also about the
rulers -Saga of Kasur and incessant to
insist that as the word Kasur (Qasur) is
derived from the single word Qasar,
means fort or palace and plural of Qasar
is Qasur (Kasur) means the city of many
forts or palaces.
Qasar is a Persian word and the word is
used in this area for what is nowadays
called Kasur, in the Mughal Era.
But, it is reality that old Kasur was
existed well-before the Moguls, hence, its
name was different (as Kashu Pur is one
of them).
It is established fact that Kasuri people

are generally peace keeping and freedom
loving. The book Punjab Ka Maqadma
written by Muhammad Hanif Ramy ex.
Chief Minister Punjab, describes on the
page 17 that Waris Shah and Bulleh
Shah (of Kasur) sang the songs of
friendship to all.
On page 18 he
mentions the list of Wali Ullah from
Punjab including Shah Inayat Qadri
Kasuri and Bulleh Shah Kasuri.
He
further says that Shah Inayat Qadri
Kasuri was his forefather. On page 20 he
mentioned the big name of Pakistan
movement Sir Abdul Qadir Kasuri.

Some historians are dissidents to the
said tradition about the name of Kasur in
the name of Raja Kusa and still insisting
that the word Qasur is derived from the
single of Qasar means Fort or palace, and
plural Qasur means the city of forts or
palaces. Locally the living sectors are
called Kot means castle.
However, instead of Qasur it is now
written as Kasur.
According to the thesis Kasur Door e
Alamgiri Tuk; there were many forts and
palaces i.e. Qasar in Kasur hence, it was
called Kasur i.e. Qasur means city of
forts or Palaces. Even till today the
culture and dwellings of the city are like
palaces.
According to books Akhbar ul Auliya
written in 1703, Auliya e Kasur 0f 1929
and Fatooh ul Bildan there in the
history of the world the city dwellings in
the names as Qasar, Qasran and Qasur
exist.
To settle the issue, why Kasur is called
Kasur the above reasons are cogent one

The difference of ancient Kasur and

to Rohiwal touching to
nowadays the mounds of Kamal Chishti.
As per thesis Kasur Door e Alamgiri
Tuk.
A man named QUSA or QUSHA had laid
the foundation stone of Kasur and in
accordance with the tradition of the era;
he had built a fort here, as per thesis
Kasur Tareikh K Aeinan Mein by Mr.
Nazir
Ahmad
Chaudhary,
Director
Achieves Punjab. He further writes that
the Historical city of Kasur in Punjab is
located 30 Miles away from District
Lahore toward North East. And the city
had undergone many of eras.
Whereas the present Kasur is allotted by

King Timur to Pathans as expounded in
the Book Tareekh Mohzan e Punjab and
re-allotted by King Babur as given further
details about Kasur in the Books
Akhbar ul Auliya and the book Auliya e
Kasur. However, Kasuris re-designed at
its present location in the Period of King
Akbar as expounded in the Book the
Punjab Chiefs and the book Chiefs and
Families of Notes in the Punjab written
by Charles Francis Massy, Lapel H,
Griffin, H.D. Crack and W. L. Carmen
(Usually said Griffin, Massy). They said
on the page 205 that the ancient city of
Kasur, situated some 20 miles to the
south of Lahore, was in 1570, by
permission of Emperor Akbar settled by a
Colony of Pathans, numbering about
3500 souls. Among those came from
Kandahar the ancestors of the Memdot,

chiefs of the Hassan Zai tribe and till the

fall of the Mughal Empire they lived
Kasur......
Kasur is further developed in the era of
the Mughal (Mogul) Kings. And finally it
is re-shaped as evident from the thesis
Kasur Door e Alamgiri Tuk, in the period
of Muhammad Shah (Rangeela Badshah).
The Book Tareekh Mohzan e Punjab says
that in the era of King Akbar, Kasuri
Afghans got promotions and prosperity.
In the period of King Shah Jahan, one
Kasuri Pathan Qutbudin Khan Son of
Nazar Muhammad Khan was elevated to
be the Nawab of Kasur. King Alamgir
appointed Shadad Khan as the Chief of
Kasur. And in the era of King
Muhammad Shah Rangeela, a Kasuri
Pathan Hussain Khan was the Nawab of
Kasur.
According to thesis Kasur Tareekh K
Aeinan Mein present Kasur was
populated in the era of King Akbar; and
some Pathans families were settled here,
those came from Qandahar and were the
Military personnel of the King Akbar the
Grand Mughal. Those Pathans built
fortresses here for their residence. And
these forts are called Kots. Due to those
Qila (Qasar), it is called as Qasur (Kasur).
In Arabic plural of Qasar is Qasur. The
city consisted on 12 castles and each
castle was in the name of famous
personality (of Kasuri Pathan). During
the period of King Akbar, peace, law and
order was maintained here in Kasur. And
there is not an iota of evidence that here
in Kasur, any difference had occurred
among Mughals and Pathans in that era.
Whereas afterward Kasuri Pathans were
reluctant from Delhi Capital, even Kasuri
Nawab Hussain Khan fought against the

Khan hatched conspiracy and was

Thereafter, some of Kasuri Pathans
resisted against the Sikhs and sided with
Mughal King but latter on many had
joined the Sikhs and afterward they had
become loyal to the English Rulers of
India.

of Kasur. He was the first, only and the
last Nawab of Kasur under the English
Rulers.
On the other hand public of Kasur were
struggling to oust out the Sikh rulers and
afterward he English Imperialism from
India. Thus worst brutality, devastation
and massacred occurred here in Kasur.
Muslim massacred at Qatal Garhi
This beautiful city was principally
comprised on 12 Palaces (called Kot in
the then official language Persian).
The famous modern 12 Kots (Fortress or
Sectors) are the principally built in
sectors of Kasur. Many of those 12 Kots
(Fortress or Sectors) and their fascinated
gates are even available nowadays.
Those 12 Kots are the reminiscent of

e Punjab the city Kasur was 6 miles in
length and 2 miles in width, whereas in
1890
its
population
was
15209
individuals. The houses were 5729.
In the beginning Kasur was an
aggregation of hamlets (Villages). It was of
the mud-made houses and such other
dwellings on the northern bank of the
River Beas. In this regard, like other
historians, the writer of Kasur Door e
Alamgiri Tuk depends on the book
Akhbar-al-Awlya written by Obaidullah
Kasuri in the era of King Alamgir (about
300 years ago). I have perused the
original hand written book and found the
correctness
of
the
statement.
Encyclopaedia of Britannica says that
those were 26 hamlets on which Kasur
consisted.

Raja Kulpat of Kasur

Conquered Lahore
The oldest book on Kasur Akhbar-alAwliya by Obaidullah Kasuri had

mentioned that Kasur and Lahore were
made by two brothers of Ajodhya (Raja
Kasu and Raja Lahu) and both they ruled
over respectively. And many a centuries
after them, Raja Kulpat ruled over Kasur
and Raja Kul Rao ruled over Lahore. The
Raja Kulpat of Kasur had maintained a
large size Military and attacked suddenly
on Lahore, eventually; in his military
extradition
he
was
successful
in
conquering Lahore. Raja Kul Rao of
Lahore was arrested. But however, Raja
Kulpat of Kasur treated him well. This
narration is asserted in Geography of

Door e Alamgiri Tuk, it is mentioned that
Afghan (Pathan) tribe lives in Kasur from
the year 1000A.D. onward. A tradition
reveals that Kasur was dwelled in the
reign of Mehmood Ghaznavi about 1000
A D. Afghans of Isa Zai tribes were
accompanied with him during his attack
on Somnaat in 1026 A D. After conquest,
those Afghans (Pathans) liked to reside in
this area and named the town as Kasur.
With the consent of Governor Lahore
Malik Ayaz, those Afghans were settled at
this area on the River bank (Beas) which
was very green, well verdant and verger.
About 3000 years back, Kussara Pathana
of Kambojas (Kamboh: Arain) of Mittni
(Mesopotamia) of Iraq settled here.
According
to
the
book
Imperial
Gazetteer of India XV page 149 as
referred by Kasur Door e Alamgiri Tuk,
in the old days Kasur was under the
possession of different nations, and
before it was taken by Muslim (Afghans)
it was the possessions of Rajput and they
lived here. Abu al Fazal who was the
Premier to the King Akbar described
them as they were Rajput Bhatti. Later
on the other historian as Lahore District
Gazetteer1893- 94 had also written that
Rajput Chohan dwelled here and their
chief was Pir Dhya Ghazi.
It is said that Pir Sardar Dhayaa Ghazi

was a Chohan ruler of Kasur. He was in
the service of Sher Shah and embraced
Islam. The area of Lakhi Jungle (now
from Kasur to Dipalpur) and Kasur city
was the Jagir (Estate) awarded to him.

A tradition envisaged that Afghans came

to India with Shahab Ud Din Ghori and
firstly they settled in Multan but the
water and climate was not suited to them
and they liked the area of Kasur and
settled there. For reference the book
Sairustaan by Peer Ibrahim Kasuri
printed in 1854 A D. Multan.
Another tradition revealed that some
Pathans tribes of Sindh left Sindh due to
the repeated attacks of Moguls and they
dwelled on the banks of river Sutlej now
Kasur.
Empress
Razia
Sultana of Hind in
Kasur
Empress Razia Sultana was the

daughter of King Shamas ul Din
Altutmush of Hind, who was firstly a
slave thereafter Son in Law of King Qutub
ud Din Abbik. Whereas, King Qutub ud
Din Abbik was also firstly a slave of King
Shahab ul Din Ghori. It is therefore
called Slave dynasty of Indian Subcontinent.
After the death of her father, Razia
Sultana became Empress of India.
In a battle at Bathinda she was defeated.
She escaped. But on the way she and her
slave were killed. They buried in Kasur.
Her grave is at 3 feet plinth and that is
spread on a tract of land about 1 Marla
(225 Feet). It is located in the graveyard of
Khawaja Sahib. And near to her grave
there is the grave of Nawab Hussain

forefather of Baba Fareed Ul Din Masood
Ganj Shakir came here in 1157 from
Kabul Afghanistan to Lahore and then
resided here in Kasur. He was welcomed
warmly here and the Chief of City Kasur
made him a close friend.
Everyone from public and ruling class
respected him. The Chief of Kasur also
wrote to the King about that sufferings
and asked for help.
The book life and times of Fareed ud Din

Nizami of Aligarh discloses that Qazi
Shoaib the grandfather of Baba Fareed
ud Din Masood Gunj e Shaker, lived in
Kasur, to save them from the attacks of
Mongols on Kabul in 617 AH. (1157 AD).
However, as per the books Maqalat e

by Muhammad Asif Khan page 32, and
the book Punjabi Shairan Da Tazkara by
Mula Bukhish Kushta on page he was

Thereafter, he shifted to Ajodhan, on the

Lahore and Kasur buildings are most
terribly reduced to rubble and debris.
Famous historian Qasim Firishta in his
book Tareekh-e-Firishta had described
the devastation of Lahore and Kasur by
Mongols.
The following attacks of Mongols are
illustrious.
In 1210 AD Chengiz Khan came there in

because of the attack of Mongols it was
destroyed and bust out.
The book Geography of Punjab by Attar

was much in numbers but because of the
attack of Mongols it was destroyed and
bust out.
When King Amir Tamur
invaded India (and he conquered Delhi on
19th December 1398 by defeating King
Mehmood Tughlaq thus King Tamur
became the ruler of India), and came to
Punjab, he had gratified this land and
ruined city (Kasur) to his well-wishers
Pathans. And made them inhabitant of it.
Afterwards the Governor of Dipalpur
Bahlul Lodhi became the Ruler of Delhi
and he had given the area of Kasur to
Kasuri Pathans, with the authority to
collect the revenue of agricultural land of
the area. The author of Kasur Door e
Alamgiri Tuk with the reference of the
book Israr e Sidi (1960 page 71) and

that as a gratification Kasur was given to
Pathans by King Bahlul.
It was Bahlul Lodhi who as the Governor
of Dipalpur managed here cultivation
through Afghans thus ultimately an
Afghan Colony at Kasur came into
existence.
Under
his
authority
agricultural land measuring to 300 acres
was cultivated here. (As per reference to
the book Awlya I Kasur Page 3 under
reference from the books as Akhbar Al
Awlya and Tareikh Punjab by Ghulam
Mohy ud din (Buti Shah).
The book Tazkara e Rousa i Punjab
(Punjab Chiefs) and the thesis Kasur
Door e Alamgiri Tuk, mention that in the
period of King Ibrahim Lodhi (1520) a
tract of land of 300 Acres was cultivated
in Kasur.
According to Tareikh Mokhzan e Punjab;
when Khizar Khan (a Viceroy of Amir
Tamur) was in powers, he appointed
Malik Bahlul Khan Lodhi as Governor
Dipalpur and Lahore. He had made
Kasur and Kasuri Pathans Very Prosper.
Bahlul Lodhi latter on pronounce his
Kingship of India.
Baba Guru Nanak Sahib (1469 to 1539)
visited Kasur. As per reference of Kasur
Door e Alamgiri Tuk.
The famous Hindu Bava Ram Thuman
Samadhi is here in Kasur. He was a
famous Hindu Faqeer. According to
Tareikh Mokhzan e Punjab on his
Samadhi a Mela (Festival) is held on the
day of Baisakhi annually.
Kasur was not reputed before Mughals
According to the author of imperial

The thesis Kasur Door e Alamgiri Tuk
and the book Sairustaan also throws
light that the Kasuri Pathans are
Arghustani Yaghistani from Yaka Toot.
Another point of view is described in the

author of Kasur Door e Alamgiri Tuk; as
expounded by the book Sairustaan by Pir
Muhammad Ibrahim Kasuri (1854) he
writes that actually Pathans came from
Koh Feroza under the leadership of King
Shahab ul Din Ghori. After migration
they reach Ghazni, then to Multan but
Multan atmosphere was non-congenial to
them, then they shifted to Kasur. This
can prove that Kasur city was dwelled on
the river bank well before King Shahab ul
Din Ghori.
Mufti Khair ud Din book Ibrat Nama
discloses that due to the graciousness of
Mehmood Ghaznvis Governor Lahore
Malik Ayaz, Eisa Zai Afghans settled
here (in Kasur) on the river bank due to
its fertility and greenery.
They have named their city Kasur.
Those Eisa Zai Afghans liked too much
this area of Punjab.
Before the settlement of Pathans here in
Kasur, a Sardar of Chunian Peera Baluch
usually came to Kasur and cause to loot
in the area. When Pathans inhabitants
settled there on the three sides, then
Peera Baluch with 200 horse riders again
attacked here, but this time Pathans
used their full force and deployed 500
horse riders to defend their area,
resultantly Peera Baluch with 200 horse
riders killed here in Kasur. This

Tareikh e Mubarik Shahi translated by

the book Twilight Of Sultanate by
Kishori Laal printed in Mumbai in 1963,
described that King Ali of Moguls came
from Kabul in 1420 A D. to attack on
India he also had invaded through Kasur.
On 21st April 1526 both the armies of
King Babur and King Ibrahim fought in
the battle field of Panipat. Saleem Khan
Jamand attacked on King Ibrahim and
killed him. According to the books Kasur
Door e Alamgiri Tuk and the book Awlya
e Kasur under the reference from the
books as Akhbar Al Awlya it is narrated
that After conquering the India King
Babur awarded those Pathans with
receiving the 1/4th one fourth of the
revenue as per Written Contract between
them, as per mutual understanding that
Babur in the event of his success in
conquering India would give the Afghans
1/4th of the Revenue of Delhi. Since
1526 AD King Babur to 1560 the time of
King Akbar, the same practice continued,
but however, in 1560 the Pathans were
allotted Kasur, in lieu of 1/4th of the
Revenue of Delhi.
I have perused the copy of the said
Written Contract which was available
with Muhammad Yousaf Khan Bailiff
Kasur.
In the Imperial Gazetteer of India it is
described that before the Mogul King
Babur, the city Kasur was not prominent
in the history. The thesis Kasur Door e
Alamgiri Tuk also writes in the
conformity of the matter.

The book Mraqaa e Lahore written by
Dr. Anjum Rehmani on page 389 says
that the geography of Bitlimus tells that
Lubokala was perhaps Lahore.
The book Ancient Lahore written by
Governor Sir Robert Montgomery in 1860
on page 22 says that in the first place,
there is no mention of Lahore, nor of any
city with which it may be fairly identified,
in the writings of the Greek Historians of
the expedition of Alexander to the East.
Burns (a historian) identify it with
Sangla a city mentioned by Aryans as
the strong hold of the Kathoei or Katheri
who occupied the region in which Lahore
situated......... It may be assumed,
therefore, that Lahore, if it existed, was a
place of no importance at the period of
the invasion of Alexander, Lahore was
founded or rose to importance sometime
between the fourth and second centuries
BC. On page 23 the same writer says
that, It would appear that Lahore was
essentially a Rajput City. On the page 24
there is Derivation of its name Lahore,
Lohor, Loher, Lohawar, Lehawar and
Lahanur. On page 25 he further writes
that Lohawar, therefore, must signify the
Fort of Lah and the name will thus
correspond in signification with the LohKot of the Rajputana Chronicles. On page
51 he writes that..... it is also worthy of
remark that Akbars able Minister Toder
Mall, the best Revenue Officer perhaps
the Mogul (Mughal/ Moghal/ Mogul)
government ever had, and the ideal of an
oriental Finance, expired at Lahore. On
page 105 he further writes that...... on

Empire became a story of the past
(The above excerpts from the narration of
the
ex.
Governor
Punjab
lord
Montgomery, the analogous conclusion
can be made about Kasur, because both
are the twin cities of the same era and
also founded by two brothers).
The book Punjab Ka Maqadma written
by Muhammad Hanif Ramy ex. Chief
Minister Punjab, describes on the page
16 that the Punjab courage to fight
against the Alexander. On the page 44
he described that before Alexander,
Punjabis had also defeated Cyrus the
Grand of Persia; he was the King of old
Iran and his name is Zulqurnain in Holy
Quran.
Book The Pathans written by Olaf
Caro and the books Kasur Door e
Alamgiri Tuk also described that Kasur
was built in the era of Mughal King
Babur (after 1526). He said that during
the Indian (Pak o Hind) expeditions of
King Babur, the tribe of Yousaf Zais
helped him much. Kasuri Pathans
usually say that they came from
Peshawar as Military Personnel of King
Babur. And in return of different
services, they were awarded Jagirs, right
to collect Revenue and also awarded
Kasur city area.
Present day Kasur is originally planned
during Mogul period and its area is
consisted on various fortified hamlets
and fertile plains.
It was allotted in the light of written
contract about 1/4th Revenue Award as
good grace by Mogul (Mongols) Emperor
Babur to Afghans (Pathans). For
reference see book Akhbar-al-Awliya.
According to Mr. Griffon author of Punjab

Muhammad Akbar (Chagatai Tamuri

The book An Afghan Colony at Qasur by
Dr. Muhammad Shaffi, foreign colonies
have settled in India at various periods of
its history and some have played an
important part in that history. Among the
latter is the Pathan Colony at Qasur. He
further narrated that he adopted the
spellings as Qasur, as probably the
Arabic word Qasur has influenced this
spelling.
The
word
is
ordinarily
pronounced there as Kasur.
From the narration of Tareikh e Punjab
by Mufti Taj Ud Din compiled in 1867 for
Mr. W Smith Deputy Commissioner
Lahore; it is evident that the present day
Kasur dates back to that Period as an
Aggregation on the Fortified Hamlets.
The thesis Kasur Door e Alamgiri Tuk
also confirmed that the present day
Kasur is of the period of Mughal Kings.
For livelihood Kasur Pathans joined
Mughal civil and Military Services. Some
of them were carrying on Horse-Trade
and General-Trade.
According to Mr. Griffon author of Punjab
Chiefs Kasur population was just 3500
persons in 1570 (whereas now in 2013 it
is up to 3, 50,000.
Whereas district Kasurs population is
now 3.5 Million individuals)
As discussed above, on conquering India,
in 1526 A.D., King Babur of Moguls
allotted Kasur to the Pathans, as per the
written agreement between both the
parties.
(The said agreement was remained
available with the Jamands of Bajwarra

In the light of the book Tazkara e Rousa

According to book Auliya e Kasur, The
town of Kasur was held in fief by Raja
Ray Singh of Bikaner and Kasuri
Pathans were upset with the Rajput
soldiery deployed in Kasur.
In the 26th year of the reign of King
Akbar, Raja Ray Singh of Bikaner sent
several Tuyuldar (armed-contingents) to
the Punjab as the Raja liked the climate
desire to resident in it and started to
build a fortress here in Kasur.
On account of the commanding positions
at the mounds now Shrine of Hazrat
Shah Kamal Chishti, the Raja Roy Singh
Sahib of Bikaner began to build a fortress
for himself. But the fortress building was
collapsed, time and again. The book

According to Kasur Door e Alamgiri Tuk
under the reference of the book Israr e

officer of the King Akbar was killed by the
Kasuri Pathans. On receiving the news of
that demise, King Akbar, severally
admonished
and
reprimanded
the
Governor, Raja Roy Singh (Bhatti of
Bikanair) with direction to personally go
to Kasur and do the justice on the spot
(Hakim i Sultani). He had complied with
the orders of the Emperor.
On his action Kasuri Pathans dislike
Raja Ray Singh but they could not do
anything against the King Akbar.
It is also said that Raja Ray Singh was of
bad character and his Palace (at the
location of Shrine of Kamal Chishti) was
ruined due to anger of Hazrat Baba
Kamal Chishti Sahib. The illicit remarks
about the said Raja and his wickedness
(Particularly with brides on Suhag Raat

However, after some time Moguls Rulers
had returned back the chiefs ship and
lordship of Kasur to the Kasuri Pathans.
As per Kasur Door e Alamgiri Tuk ,Some
Kasuri Pathans Chiefs asked
for
th
continuity of 1/4 Revenue Award from
Mughal King Akbar, but there was no
proper reply, hence Kasuri Pathans
intended to return back to their previous
homeland Maloof of Koh Feroza. But
however, messengers were sent to them
by King and they were permanently
awarded with the area of Kasur.
Kasur was remained under the direct
control of federal capital Delhi, as
mentioned in Kasur Door e Alamgiri Tuk.

Hence it is said without any fear of
rebuttal that Kasuri Pathans were
allotted Kasur, populated in Kasur and
also awarded the powers of revenue
collection of the area.
Prior to that promotion of Qutub Din
Khan Kasuri to be the Head of Kasuri
Pathan, Nazar Bahadur was given the
well-adorned position of Nawab of
Kasur by the Mogul King Shah Jahan.
In the era of King Jahangir, Nazar

Bahadur Kasuri was appointed as the
commander of 1500 cavalry men.
Another Kasuri Pathan Qutub Din Khan
Kasuri was appointed firstly as Fujdar
and later on promoted as Governor of
Surat (Joanna Garh) in the era of King
Alamgir (Aurangzeb). He had defeated
Prince Dara Shekoh, in Ajmer and was
awarded with the title of Khan by King
Alamgir (Aurangzeb). He was the first
Kasuri Pathan who was promoted to a
Higher Rank of Khan by a Mughal King,
the descendant of the Grand Khan,
Chengiz Khan, of Moguls. Eventually it
becomes a proverb that the Guests of
Khan are also Khan.
Mogul King Alamgir (Aurangzeb) had
appointed Nawab Shahdad Khan Kasuri
as Nawab of Kasur.
In the period of King Muhammad Shah

Nawab Muhammad Hussain Khan was
appointed as Nawab of Kasur.

Jamand was thereafter allotted Kasur
and made its rulers. He had established
a 12 doors building called Barah Dari
in Kasur where people of the areas and
passengers were offered free food and
stay. The ruin of that building is located
now in front of the church building of Kot
Ghulam Muhammad Khan Kasur.
Presently the Jamand tribes lived in
Hushyarpur.
Saleem Khan Jamand who had built the
Bawali (A Capacious Building) at Kasur
was one of the commanders of King
Babur, once he was waiting upon Sher
Shah Suri who replied and remarked as
if we rip open Saleem Khans stomach
we shall find Sultan Ibrahim Lodhi. It is
therefore to be noted that Sher Shah
hated the Pathans of Kasur because of
their siding with the Mogul at Panipat
battlefield where King Ibrahim Lodhi
defeated and King Babur was successful.

Jelley Khan and other Kasuris are also
mentioned in the poems on the invasion
of Nadir Shah and their submission to
Nadir Shah Durani for saving Kasur from
the harmful hands of those Khurasanis.
(Reference to the Journal of the Punjab
Historical Society, Volume vi, No. 1,
Verses 720, 815, 825,)
In 1745 after the death of Mogul
Governor Zakaria Khan of Lahore,
Sardar Jassa Singh Ahluwala Chief with
the help of other Sardars raided Kasur
but was not much accomplished.
Reference to the book Kaporthala State
as expounded by the book Auliya e
Kasur, when Ahmad Shah Abdali came to
invade India, Jalle Khan, with other
Zamindars tendered submission to him
at Lahore. (King of Afghanistan Ahmad
Shah Abdali was helped by Jalle Khan
Nawab of Kasur against the Mughal King
of Delhi and Abdali was successful).
Abdali appointed Jalle Khan as his
representative to collect Revenues and
latter on elevated him as Governor
Lahore.
The book Akheri Ehid e Mughalya Ka
Hindustan written by Dr. Mubarak Ali on
page 25 mentions that what was looted
by Ahmad Shah Abdali of Afghanistan in
the result of his attack on Hindustan,
was also included private and public
property .
He appointed a clerk having Kalah

more of the public could not pay and
found the demands as beyond their
capacity; hence they left with no other
option to be killed or to commit suicide.
Many of those took poison to be died.
And others were beheaded. Their homes
were looted and set on fire by Abdalians
Military.
Mir Taqi Mir is the eye witness of that
destruction and massacre, had told that,
women were raped, hoodlum inflicted
everywhere in houses, streets and
bazaars. Putrefied dead body and
stinking blood was spread here and there
may be said that whoever was died was
free from the hell of that terrible situation
of life and death.
Banda
Kasur
Biragi
in
The real name of Bonda/ Banda Biragi
was Luchmuan Dev. According to the
book Auliya e Kasur he was born on 27th
October 1670 in a Rajput family. He
became a pupil of a Hindu name Biragi
Janki Daas in Rajwari and that Guru
given him the name Madu Daas. As per
the book Bonda Singh Bahadur written
by Ganda Singh, it is written on the page
4 as when he came to Kasur to
participate in Mela Baisakhi in 1686. He
met to Ram Daas Biragi and he became
his disciple.
Guru Guband has change the name of
Madoo Daas to Bonda Singh/ Banda
Biragi and awarded him a flower Phool.
Guru Guband Singh declared and
ordered that it is the religious duty of
every Sikh to kill every mogul, Turk and
afghan. For this purpose he appointed
145
Geniuses of Kasur
by

Bonda Singh Biragi to finish the Muslim
rule in India and established Khalsa
Raaj. He with the company of his 5 dears
(Punj Payary) advanced to the Punjab,
and started the massacred of Muslims
and at very large scale loot from Kathal
and Samana. There he had killed 15/20
thousand Muslims without any cause. He
plundered
the
treasury.
Innocent
children and Purdah observing ladies
were also killed. Due to that Jeopardy
and for self defence many Muslims ladies
committed suicide.
He killed Muslims brutally. Muslims
houses were set on fire. Masajids and
shrines were demolished.
The tyranny of Bonda Biragi was inflicted
on Muslims very ruthlessly with its full
magnitude
of
dehumanization,
despicability, and despotism. In the
words of Syed Mazahir Ahsan Gillani as
quoted in the book Tareikh Punjab by
Uhammad on page 73 the brutal action
was in the style as the Muslims were
detained in their houses and the houses
were set on fire, consequently they burnt
into ashes. Sikhs said that action as
holly (means live entity to be set on
roasting). Sometimes live Muslims were
put into cages and set on fire and thus
played holly with them. That was the
worst disorder, mess and quagmire
wreaked upon the Muslims by those who
consider them as holier-than-thou.
While burning of those Muslims there
were yep and yell scrams and reek of
blood and flesh. And that hue and cry
made them much happy. And when those
Muslims are roasted, the Sikhs ate them
with much relish. The pregnant Muslim
women were caught, their abdomen were
cut, their foetus were took out of the
146
Geniuses of Kasur
by

wombs, they tossed those children into
the air, and by taking them on their
swords tips played them and got
pleasure, raising slogans in cheers and
shouted very vociferously jay Cary.
His army thereafter invaded into the area
of Sadhora, the Genius Prominent Sadaat
Pir Budhu Shah of Whish, had once
helped harboured those Sikhs against
moguls, and even sent Muslims disciples
in favour of the Sikhs to fight against the
Muslim Moguls. Now in return those
Sikhs in the leadership of Bonda Biragi
took military extradition against them.
They gathered those Muslims into the
Dera of Syed Bader ul Din Shah
descendant that Syed Pir Budhu shah
and killed them. Since that place is
called Qatal Garhi.
According to the book Tareikh I Punjab
by Muhammad Ayub Khan page75, when
Shammas U Din Khan Kasuri was
appointed as Governor Of Sultan Pur And
Julandhar, Bonda Beragi looted and
massacred the Muslims in dooab and
advanced to the Eastern Punjab and with
the criminal intention to devastate these
areas he gathered 70 /80 thousand Sikh
military and crossed the Sutlej River.

grandson of Nazar Bahadur Kasuri.
Bonda Singh Biragi sent message to
Shammas Khan that all the exchequer
and arsenal in his possession be
despatched to him. Shammas khan
replied that I had a heavy amount of both
the exchequer and arsenals, and if you
personally came, you could take it with
pleasure. Shammas Khan mean while

gathered 5000 cavalry 30,000 gunman
10,000 arrow shooters, as well as many
thousands of (JAWANS) youth of the area
and retired army men. In the words of
Khani Khan in his book Muntahib Al
Babb thousands of weavers declared that
battle against Bonda Biragi as Jihad and
voluntarily joined the Shammas Khans
army.
Shammas Khan Kasuris army marched
from sultan Pur to fight against the Sikh
army of Bonda Biragi. On the other side
Bonda Biragi crossed the Sutlej River and
near the area of Rahoon he established
many Army Bunkers in the smithy fields
of various bricks Killen.
Both the belligerent armies fought
closely. 18000 Sikhs army men were
killed, whereas Kasuris armys loss was
minor one, however, Bonda Biragi ran
away from the battlefield in the night,
consequently
Kasuris
army
was
successful, and also got a huge arsenal of
the Sikh Army as war booty.
Banda Biragis end
Bonda Biragi was actually a Sikh
murderer who managed and headed a
band of killers had caused death to many
Muslims in Doaban (Julandhar) area
particularly, however the Mughal rulers
captured him along with his band of
killers near Kangara and put them in
cages and thereafter killed them in Delhi.

As per thesis Kasur Tareikh K Aeinan
Mein, unfortunately with the twilight of
Mughal Government in Hind, Kasur came
under the dark clouds of transgression
and devastation. The Sikhs Sardars had
inflicted ruthlessness, brutality and
ravage. They became savaged, deadly and
harmful and began to looting and killing
people as their mission of life. In Punjab
that troublesome era thus made every
day, the day of Armageddon and every
night as doom night. Public faced
abysmally dismal life, whereas society
was devastated. Jhanda Singh and
Gandha Singh of Bhanghi Missal with
their troops, Kasuri Pathans army
defended city Kasur bravely, and
compelled them to be retreat.
however, in 1770 the Sikhs under the
Bhanghi chiefs Jhandha Singh and
Gandha Singh defeated and slain the
Chief of Kasur, Ghulam Mohyodin Khan
Kasuri and captured Kasur. The territory
of Kasur was divided up amongst various
chief.
The ruination of Kasur was of such high
impression on the public of the Punjab as
the anarchy was depicted in the verses of
Waris Shah as From the whole state of
devastate Punjab, I have deep sorrow for
Kasur
Jhandha Singh succeeds Hari Singh
Bhanghi in 1777 and carried all the
power of the Bhangi Misl. According to
the book Auliya e Kasur, during the
invasion of Zaman Shah in the Punjab
the Bhanghi who were then holding
Powers in Kasur, left it and fled to the
hills.
The Sikhs, according to the book Auliya e
Kasur, however were expelled from Kasur

days. According to Griffin and Massy
they entered in the service of Banghis of
the Kasur territory. However both they
were latter on proved instrumental to
expel out those Sikhs from Kasur in 1794
In 1796 Nazam Ud Din Khan had
established himself in Kasur, according
to the book Auliya e Kasur, on the
entrance of Zaman Shah of Kabul in
Lahore, Nazam ul Din Khan offered his
services to Ahmad Shah Abdali of Kabul
and also offered Rupees 500, 000 five
Lacks as annual tribute. Zaman Shah of
Kabul did not accept the proposal of
Nazam Ud Din Khan Kasuri and left
Lahore while rushing back to Herat to
crush the revolt of his brother Mehmood
Shah in Herat (now Afghanistan).
Nawab Shahbaz Khan S/O Nawab
Walidad Khan started preparation to oust
those Sikhs from Kasur. According to
Tareekh e Punjab written by Ayub Khan,
youth presented themselves whereas
ladies presented their ornaments and
valuables.
(Note: both the Nawab Shahbaz Walidad
Khan and Nawab Muhammad Shahbaz
Khan of Kot Fateh Din Khan Shahbaz

Now Shahbaz Khan captured the areas of
Dandian and Atari as well as both the
banks of Sutlej River. He got further
reinforcement
from
Hazrat
Sheikh
Subhani Chishti of Pakpattan and
attacked on Nakai Misl Areas, and during
battles the Sikh Chief of the area was
killed and Shahab Khan Kasuri had
conquered the area.
Waris Shah in his verses had applauded
that
conquest
of
Mughal
King
Muhammad Shah Rangeela.
When Zaman Shah returned back to
Lahore he granted Ranjeet Singhs
request to occupy Lahore. According to
General Cunningham, Nazam Ud Din
Kasuri was very able leader and as
powerful as was Ranjeet Singh. (Both
were fast friends) According to the book
Auliya e Kasur and the Book Sairustaan
on page 17 disclosed that both Ranjeet
Singh and Nazam Ud din had 7000
cavalry and few guns. Whereas General
Cunningham on page 139 told that
Nazam Ud Din Khan had those Banghis
who were reduced to submission by
Ranjeet Singh after his capturing Lahore.
Ranjeet Singh how could tolerate such a
dangerous rival Nazam Ud Din Kasuri to
be so nearer to Lahore. In these
circumstances Ranjeet Singh determined
to crush Kasurs Ruler. Kasuris gathered
under Nazam Ud Din Khan, and made
Alliance with Sardar Fateh Singh
Ahulwaliya of Kapurthala, who advanced
towards Kasur in 1803. (Whereas the
thesis Kasur Tareekh K Aeinan Mein
says it was happened in 1802). Nazam Ud
Din Khan Kasuri opposed that advance
of allied forces at five miles away from
Kasur. But forced to be pushed back to
Kasur where he was besieged. However

Ruler of the Punjab
Nazam

Kasuri was Slain

Nazam Ud Din succeeded wining secret
support of some besiegers and managed
war supplies through them.
The book on The History of the Principal
States of the Punjab and their Political
Relations with the British Government
(The Rajas of Punjab) written in 1873 by
Lapel H. Griffin describes on the page
274 that..... Ranjeet Singh, who thought
more of earth than heaven........... And
on page 285 says that........... Gajpat
Singh married in 1754 to one of the
widows of his brother Alam Singh, and
succeeded his estate of Balanwali ... one
of his daughters Raj Kaur, who was
married
to
Sirdar
Mahan
Singh
Sukarchakia, and became the mother of
Maharajha Ranjeet Singh of Lahore.
When Ranjeet Singh came to know the
above mentioned circumstances of war at
Kasur, he decided to rise up the siege.
According to the book Auliya e Kasur he
managed to win over Nazam Ud Din
brother Qutub Ud Din and received him
with very kindness. According to
Kanhaya Lal in his Tareikh e Punjab
Lahore 1881. Ranjeet Singh established
a Thana (Police Station) near Kasur and
left Kasur. General Cunningham said
that Nazam Ud Din Khan Kasuri became
a feudatory of Maharaja Ranjeet Singh.
As per agreement it was decided that
some family members of Nazam Ud din
namely Haji Khan and Wasil Khan would
be the messenger between both the
chiefs. According to Tareikh I Punjab by
M. Ayub Khan and the book Auliya e
Kasur these messengers were received by
Ranjeet Singh at Amritsar. Both the
messenger was in personal grudge with
Nazam Ud din. Ranjeet Singh showed too
much favour on them as in return of they

Sardar Fateh Sing of

and
Kasur
offered their services to him. They

returned to Kasur with a heinous design
and entered in to the sleeping room of the
Nazam Ud din Kasuri and found him
sleeping and killed him. As for the
assassins are concerned one was killed
due to vengeance and the other
accomplice was escaped to Deccan.
Najeeb Khan was the Murderer of Nazam
Din Khan. (Whereas the thesis Kasur
Tareekh K Aeinan Mein says the
murderer were Haji Khan, Naji Khan and
Wasil Khan, the brother in laws of Nazam
Din Kasuri.)
According to Amar Naths Tareikh
Khalsa and the book Auliya e Kasur, at
the death of Nawab Nizam Ud Din Khan
Kasuri, his son was minor one. Therefore
his real brother Qutbudin Khan Kasuri
assumed the charge of Chief Ship of
Kasur in 1803. Whereas the thesis
Kasur Tareekh K Aeinan Mein says that
Qutbudin Khan Kasuri was the elder son
of Nawab Nizam Ud Din Khan Kasuri.
In 1804 Ranjeet Singh again attempted to
take Kasur. Buti Shah writes on his book
page 14 that he made two or three
attempts. But those army campaigns
proved fruitless.
However Maharaja Ranjeet Singh was
successful in taking Kasur in 1806.
According to the book Auliya e Kasur and
General Cunningham in his book gave
the year 1807. Whereas Sohnlal tells it
was 1863 Bikrmi that was 1806 AD. The
thesis Kasur Tareekh K Aeinan Mein
also says it was 1807.
Actually at that time Ranjeet Singh made
allied forces with Sardar Fateh Singh of
Kapurthala and some other chiefs of
Sutlej. The cavalry and infantry were
100,000 in numbers (ref. Ummda II. 64).

In that situation Qutub Ud din tried his

demolished but one to be remained so
that to improve the chances of defence;
but his proposal was not accepted.
Reference to Buti Shah and Cunningham
page 143
In the words of General Cunningham
want of unity weekend the resistance of
the chiefs.
Griffin and Masseys book Volume I page
206 referred as after one month fighting,
Qutub Ud Din Khan gave up resistance
in disparity as the supply line of his
Army was cut and also offered to
surrender Kasur conditionally as if he
allowed fleeing with his family and men
to the Mamdot Fort. Ranjeet Singh agreed
to. Thus Kasur was annexed to the
Kingdom of Lahore. Sardar Nihal Singh
Atariwala was appointed as the chief of
Kasur.
Whereas the thesis Kasur Tareekh K
Aeinan Mein says that besiege was
continued for one month, eventually
Muslims Chiefs were defeated.
In 1808 Qutub Ud Din yielded himself in
submission to Maharaja Ranjeet Singh.
According to book Ummda III; he was
granted both sides of Sutlej (Kasur and
Mamdot) with the provision of revenue of
Rupees. 80,000
He also took part in military campaigns
of Ranjeet Singh in Kashmir and Multan.
For reference see Samvatas expounded by
Tareekh e Punjab written by Ayub Khan.
After the death of Qutub Ud Din Khan in
1831 at Amritsar, Ranjeet Singh had
confirmed Jamal Ud Din Khan Kasuri as
successor.

at Feroze Shah while fighting on the
Sikhs side against the British.
After being ruined and molested by the
hands of Sikhhs according to Tareekh e
Punjab written by Ayub Khan, some
Pathans shifted from Kasur to Dera
Ismail Khan and lived there. They dwelled
and have their agricultural land there.
They got dig a canal through mountains
for irrigation.
Nawab Muzaffar Khan Kasuri
According to the book Tareekh e Punjab
by Muhammad Ayub Khan all efforts are
made to prove in the light of historical
facts, treatise of others research scholars,
historian and authors: both Nawab
Nazam Din Khan Kasuri Hassanzai and
Nawab Muzaffar Khan Kasuri are the real
heroes of Punjab as well as they were the
staunched and committed soldiers of
Islam and wanted the renaissance of
Islamic culture in Punjab. Let us
elaborate
their
personalities
and
pursuits:
The renowned historian Professor Shujaa
ul Din writes that in those days Nazam ul

Sikhs Rule

became ruler with
the help of important
Muslims
Din Khan Kasuri wanted to occupy the

city of Lahore, so that the Punjab to be
saved from the Sikhs. And at that time
Nazam Ul Din Khan was the only Muslim
personality who could caused the
renaissance of Islamic culture there and
had he successful, there would be a sure
shot establishment of an Islamic province
west Pakistan in 1799 and eventually
Ranjeet Singh could never be successful
to become ruler of Lahore. And never
found an opportunity to play with the
fate of Muslims. But unfortunately some
Muslims themselves caused saboteurs
the plans.
Ranjeet Singh got services of 2 influential
Muslims and sent Qazi Khan and Qazi
Abdul Rehman Ram Nagri on a secret
mission to Lahore. They met some
influential people named:
Mian Jan Muhammad
Mian Muhammad Ashiq
Mehr Mohkam Din
Abid Khan Attari
Muhammad Azeem
Hafiz Muhammad Baghbaan Puri
Mehr Shadi Katarbund
Ahmad Khan Binder
Muhammad Bakir
Muhammad Tahir
Molvi Muhammad Saleem
Mufti Mokarum
Those people prepared a requisition
under the conspiracy of the above two
Qazi and got signature of notables
citizens and formally requested to Ranjeet
Singh to occupy the city (Lahore). They
also pledged to be faithful to Ranjeet
Singh forever. (Tareikh e Punjab page
134)
The renowned writer Ray Kanhaya Lal
also confirmed the above statement as he
157
Geniuses of Kasur
by

wrote that the Muslims of Lahore
themselves offered to Ranjeet Singh to
occupy the city and an Arian wealthy
man Mehr Mohkam Din of Nawa Kot had
opened the Lohari Gate and caused the
entrance of Ranjeet Singh Army into the
city. For these services he was awarded
with the title of Baba by Ranjeet Singh.
Non Acceptance of
the Offer of Nazam
Din Kasuri
Referred to the Book Tareikh e Punjab by

Butty Shah as well as Tareekh e Punjab
written by Ayub Khan, King Zaman Shah
launched military campaign against
Sikhs of Punjab in 1797 AD. When those
Bangles Sardars heard the name of
Zaman Shah, they ran away from Lahore
and Kasur.
Nawab Nazam-ud-Din, Kasur and King
Zaman of Afghanistan
Nazam Din Kasuri occupied Kasur in
1796 AD. When he came to know that
King Zaman Shah occupies Lahore, he
offered that if Zaman Shah would
appoint him in the area, he would be able
to crushed those wicked Sikhs from
whole of the Punjab within one year and
also assured to give fifty million of
Rupees Per year to King Zaman Shah as
revenue tribute as well as to be remain
faithful to him forever. But unfortunately
Zaman Shah was stuck to none
providence and eventually did not accede
to the offer of Nazam Din Khan.
Meanwhile King Zaman Shahs brother
Mehmood Shah declared rebel in the
Afghanistan hence Zaman Shah had to
leave Punjab Immediately. On return big
cannons of Zaman Shah were fallen into
Jhelum River. He was in acute need of
those.

the

to bring out of the river and presented

those to Zaman Shah with assurance to
be faithful to him. Another account of
narration
describes
that
actually
cannons were not fallen into Jhelum
River. Rather on his way back from
Lahore to Kabul King Zaman Shah
wanted crossed his heavy artillery over
highly flooded Jhelum River. It was given
into the notice of King Zaman Shah that
Ranjeet Singh could render services for
him and will rescue and despatch the
cannons after him. Eventually, it was
done as promised. King Zaman Shah was
very pleased to him and in reward
appointed Ranjeet Singh as ruler of
Lahore in 1799 AD.
Thus the Islamic mission and the plans
of Nazam Din Kasuri were failed. If
Nazam Din and his brother Qutub Ud
Din who had defeated Ranjeet Singh in
1800 A.D and occupied Lahore, were
appointed as the chief of Lahore by King
Zaman Shah then the whole of Punjab
rather Hindustan would become under
the Muslims rule till today.
According to a tradition, as expounded by
in the period of King Akbar, some 3500
Afghans came from Qandahar to Kasur
and settled here with the special
permission of the King. Amongst those
there was a Sardar Sultan Khan of
Hassan Zai tribe. According to the book
Punjab chiefs by Griffon massy, Sardar
Sultan Khan met to the Governor of
Dipalpur Mr. Dawood Khan, who offered
him a good service position. But his son
Mooj Din Khan with his sons Nazam Din
Khan and Qutub Din Khan came to
Kasur and settled there. They were very
intelligent and brave. Nazam Din Khan
Kasuri became the ruler of Kasur in

Let us study the Page 205 about Nawab

Ghulam Kutab Din Khan of Memdot. It
is mentioned as The ancient city of
Kasur, situated some 20 miles to the
south of Lahore, was in 1570, by
permission of the Emperor Akbar, settled
by a colony of Pathans, numbering about
3500 souls. Among those came from
Kandahar. The ancestors of the Memdot,
Chiefs of the Hassanzai tribe, and till the
fall of Mughal Empire, they lived in
Kasur.

and killed and consequently the saboteur
activities in the Punjab were ended.
Muzaffar Khan Kasuri was the son of
Nawab Shujaa Khan Sobedar of Multan.
Ayub Khan, he was born in 1779. He
wanted to oust Sikhs and Maharaja
Ranjeet Singh from Punjab with the help
of his faithful friend Nazam Ud Din Khan
Kasuri Hassan Zai. Now Nawab Muzaffar
Khan planned to implement his road map
to get rid of the Sikhs from Punjab with
the help of 2 Muslims tribes, Kharal and
Sayaal but meanwhile a boy named Mirza
of Kharal and a girl named Sahiban of
Sayaal, fell in love. That not only causes
the tribal turmoils into two families but
also had shattered the whole strategy of
Nawab Muzaffar Khan.
In 1817 Ranjeet Singh Army besieged the
city of Multan where there both the
armies Ranjeet Singh and Muzaffar Khan
fought against each other consequently
Muzaffar Khan was successful in that
battle. In final military extradition of
Nawab Muzaffar Khan against Ranjeet
Singh thousands of Muslims had
sacrificed their life. Amongst the

and Chunian were forfeited by Ranjeet
Singh. And till the accession of the
Punjab to the English Rulers it was
remained as fief/ attached to the Sikhs
up to 1849.
Mein says that all the attached lands of
Kasur were latter on allotted as Jagirs to
the loyalists of the English.

Kasur the Sikhs turned savaged like,
they inflict their barbarianism and went
beyond any ethics as there is hard to find
such example of brutality in the history.
The last sign of Muslims Chiefs Ship was

And according to Tareekh e Punjab by

the city (Kasur) was wiped out. The

there was no chance of any further
attack from Muslims. But he remained
under the fear of the English. On the
other side the English were also wanted
to made their boundaries safer one

Envoys were sent in many countries.
He was a British administrator from 1822
and 1845. He served as GovernorGeneral of India, Governor of Jamaica
and Governor General of Canada.
In 1808 he was selected by Lord Munto
for envoy ship to the Court of Ranjeet

Tareekh K Aeinan Mein says that the
formal meeting between them held in
Kasur on 12 September 1808 and he
stayed in Kasur till 26 September 1808.
On 25 April 1809, they concluded to an

The thesis Kasur Aik Shahr Aik Rawayat

reveals that since the times of (United

trade centre as well as having prominent
position in Commercial and Industrial
activities.

Out of which 4 factories were owned by
Muslims.
The Ginning factories of Looha Family,
Dingrah Family, Dina Naths and Haji

Weight of the Bale of Cotton was of 5
Munds.
(1 Mund= 40 seer, 16 Chatank=1 Seer, 5
Toolas =1 Chatank 0f 62 Grams).
The thesis Kasur Aik Shahr Aik Rawayat,
says that next to Karachi, Kasur was the
biggest Manufacturing Market of Edible
Oil.
Cotton and Torya came here in
Kasur even from Patti and Bathinda.
And edible oil from Kasur was supplied
up to Bangal.
According to the thesis Kasur Aik Shahr
Aik Rawayat, the tanneries in Kasur are
working since many centuries, here raw
hides and skins are processed to
manufacture well- finished- leather for
shoes and other leather made items. This
industry is earning a good foreign
exchange.
Handicrafts of manual looms to
automatic power-looms of Kasur are
famous in the world. Spinning and
Doubling Machines is now her. Textile
Industry by cloth waving and tents
making earning much for Kasur.
Aik Rawayat, the cloth industry in Kasur
is an old one. And before partition it was
purely a home industry. In 1957, here
were 2000 hand looms. Thereafter about
10000 power looms were installed in
Kasur.

However, the thesis Kasur Aik Shahr Aik
Rawayat, says that after creation of
Pakistan, Kasur is now located on the
front border line of India. Thus its trade
activities with Indian Markets were
finished on one hand and on the other
hand, it is situated on the border line,
hence its central position is ended, which
gradually cause to deteriorate and decay
the business activities. Moreover the
Indo-Pak Wars of 1965 and 1971 caused
worst impact on the vocational and
industrial sector of Kasur.
Aik Rawayat, Kasuris Sheikhs are unique
business minded and no other family as
a whole cannot par with them. Therefore,
the lion share of total business activities
revolve around Kasuri Sheikhs.
Kasuri Ansaris are dextrous in waving
and manufacturing cloth and related
activities. They are able in textile
industry.
Kasuri Villagers are usually skilful in
running forms of agriculture, live-stock,

The old Kasur depicts Mughal Culture in

sizes are in inches 2- x 1- x 4-
x
8- . These bricks are kilns made.
Whereas sunshine backed are of 10 x 10
x 2 inch size.
Aik Rawayat, the buildings of Kasur are
made of Mughal styles.
However new buildings of Kasur are of
modern style. These are made of bricks,
concrete and marbles.
Aik Rawayat, the races, families, tribes
and clans living in Kasur (city) are from
the ethnology of Pathans, Sheikhs and
Ansaris. (However, Rajputes, Jat, Dogars,
Meos, Syed, Mughlas, and others also live
here).
In 1976 the population of Kasur was
about 1, 75, 000/- individuals

Means of these words are Saints,
Pollution, Graves, and Hot weather, as

Kasur Aik Shahr Aik Rawayat, the
hotness is comparatively less than
Multan.
The old River Bias bed is on the right
mid side of the city, almost. According to
the thesis Kasur Aik Shahr Aik Rawayat,
the banks of River Bias were touching to

times caused havoc for the city.
It was pleasant to me to read first time in
1990 in the book Who is who and what
is what written by Mirza Muhammad
Yousaf, that Kasur is called city of
breakfasts. The thesis Kasur Aik Shahr
Aik Rawayat, says that Kasur is also the
City of Breakfasts. Here the people are
inclined to eat more and to eat tasty food.
It was the time; Kasur was famous for
pure foods on reasonable prices. But now
the situation is different.
Kasur is also reputed for various
marriage rites and customs.
The Cultural Inheritance of Kasur also

The mutiny of 1857 was the war for
getting freedom and independence from
the English Rulers. According to Tareekh
e Punjab written by Ayub Khan, people of
India wanted to be remaining under the
Mughal Government. Hardly there would
be an example that after centuries of rule
as
of
the
Mughal/
Moguls
in
Hindustan/Sub- Continent, public like to
be continued under their Government
System and they fight in their favour and
against the British Rulers. Why they
wanted continuity of Mogul Kingship of
Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last Monarch
of India, let us study the laudable and
exemplary situation of protection of life
and property in the whole region under
Mughal reign as depicted in an excerpt
from Lord Macaulays address to the
British Parliament on dated 2nd day of
February, 1835:"I have travelled across
the length and breadth of India and I
have not seen one person who is a
beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have
seen in this country, such high moral
values, people of such calibre, that I do
not think we would ever conquer this
country, unless we break the very
backbone of this nation, which is her
spiritual and cultural heritage, and,
therefore, I propose that we replace her

culture, for if the Indians think that all
that is foreign and English is good and
greater than their own, they will lose
their self-esteem, their native self-culture
and they will become what we want
them, a truly dominated nation." (Lord
Macaulay on 02-02- 1835)
In the World War I, the Military Battalion
of Kasuris had refused to fight against
the Turks and all they were undergone
the court marshal. According to Tareekh
e Punjab written by Ayub Khan, their
services were dismissed, privileged
retrenched, and Estates (Jagir) were
forfeited. Thus, they were constrained to
live unemployed and impoverished one.
The British had deprived Nawab JamalUd-Din Khan Kasuri Hassan Zai from
his estate Mamdot and after forfeiting it,
annexed it to Ferozpur. According to
Kasuris were at the peak of hate against
the British, on such step. However the
British re allotted the said Mamdot estate
to Nawab Jalal-Ud-Din Khan.
An important Kasuri figure Muhammad
Husain Khan Batikzai, the real uncle of
Pir Ibrahim Khan Kasuri who was key
position holder in the court of King
Bahadur Shah Zafar: enforced to appear
as ocular witness and got record the
evidence against the King. He refused;
the British went against him and expelled
him from the service of the court as well
as forfeited his Estate (Jagir).
Whatever movement for independence
launched against the Foreign Rulers,
Kasuris had been participating. The
throws light, that the patriot and liberty
lovers Kasuris were wholeheartedly

once he came to Kasur Court to contest a
case, and decided to live in Kasur).
The book Punjab Ka Maqadma written
by Muhammad Hanif Ramy ex. Chief
Minister Punjab, describes on the page
124 that Nazam Lohar was born at Patti
near Turn Taran. He decided to resist
against
the
inflected
brutalities,
ferociousness, and despicability of the
foreigners English Rulers who became
more despotic, tyrant and tormentor to
the locals; hence he made a big cutlery
called Burchi and a pistol. One day, he
returned home and found that his
mother was dead, on asking, his sister
told him that an English captain came
and on searching home he found your

Burchi and pistol. He beaten to death our
mother and caused serious torture to me.
Now Nazam had managed to take her
sister with him and arrange her marriage
with one of his friends named Shaffi. And
he managed an infiltrator like save hideout at Kikran wali haveli. On the next day
he reached to police station and
murdered the said Captain Kool and
absconded. He also murdered the SSP
Ronald. The government proclaimed him
absconder with head money of Rs. 10,
000/- plus 4 squire lands. A police party
raided at his hide Tibby wali Haveli at
Patti but Nazam escaped to Sohal. On the
way He came across to another rebellion
Sojha Singhs mother named Maittan.
She was crying, Nazam asked her the
cause for hue and cry. She told police
had arrested her son Sojha singh. Nazam
consoled with her and went toward the
police party. He found them near Tibba
Kamal Chishti and managed to encounter
and to kill 4 officers of the police party
and get release Sojha. In those days one
Jubru joined him. They managed to kill
police officers at festivals by saying to
them Quit Punjab. In Mela Basant,
they raided and killed Inspector Louise.
When
SSP
tried
to
arrest
him
dramatically, he understood the situation
and absconded toward Changa Manga
Jungle. Sojha singh became paramour
to one girl Chiyya Machin. They made a
conspiracy against Nazam to have head
money. One night Nazam came to them,
Sojha informed police, who besieged the
room where Nazam was staying. Police
started to break the roof. Nazam tried to
abscond, he placed a shallow utensil
called Tanbya on his head as helmet, but
now he could not see. Meanwhile he

but Nazam head struck to the upper
threshold of the door. He was injured to
death. Police continued firing for 2 days
toward Nazams dead body.
Actually
police was in fear and did not come near
to him despite his death. After 2 days his
dead body was shifted to Civil Hospital
Kasur. Government imposed Jinazah Tax
of Rs.2/- each who offers his funeral and
thus collected Rs. 35000/- on the spot.
His grave is at big graveyard Kot Ghulam

throws light, that against the ferocious
action of (Brigadier) General Dwyer,
agitation provoked in 19 cities including
Kasur of Punjab. Under the reference of
Abul Hashim Nadvi, he writes that in this
connection a very critical situation
erupted, strikes were called in, and
protest was demonstrated. A train from
Feroze Pur was arriving Kasur, that was
compelled to stop. Among passengers,
some Europeans were included. They
were at danger of life, however, they
rescued very difficultly. The English
Children and women were under life
threat but a Railway Inspector Khan Din
protected and saved them. When train
arrived at the Railway Station Kasur
Platform, two warrant officers were killed.
Station was set on fire. The building of
court was put on attack, resulting to
firing, that consequent upon 4 deaths
and 57 injuries of the protestors.
Dr. Abdul Quddus and Ch. Muhammad
Akbar Advocate have told in detail that as
per traditions the said train was forcibly
halted near graveyard Qabiristan Mai
Jovai, (the last wagon was near the
place of grave of Mai Jovai, an annual fair
175

before its reaching on the Railway Station
Kasur Platform No. 1, and the train was
consisted on 8 bogies racks. A local
protester belong to Kamboh family of Kot
Murad Khan Kasur was wounded
seriously, hence, he was managed to go
to some hide-out at Majah. And after the
incident, an Identification Parade was
ordered by the Authorities; however, the
protesters were not traced.
In another incident, an English lady was
teased by public at Railway Station
Kasur. She complained. This time again
an identification parade was ordered. The
lady was asked to recognise the culprit.
People of Kasur had to undergo that
parade. And toward whom she made
point out by her finger saying, you in
Urdu Tum, he was beaten by bamboos.
The English Government was trampling
forcefully, the protests. No humanity. No
mercy. Ruthlessness and barbarism was
at its peak. Even the students were not
spared. Some students of a school at
Kasur were parading. They were caught
and 6 elders boys were chosen to be
whipped. About 75 individuals from
Kasur were thrashed and flogged under
Martial Law. A hand man was tied with a
tree and was stroked 15 whips, alleging
that why did not he informed to the
English
Authorities
about
broken
Telegraph drop-wire; even after inflicting
brutal punishment of flogging it was
revealed that the said hand man was not
belong to that sector of Kasur. (Not: I
have seen that tree in 2013. My friends
Dr. Abdul Quddus, Zahid Shah Hamdani,
Ch. Akbar, Waqas and Adil were
accompanied with me).
A marriage procession was flogged
176

by

openly, alleging that it had violated
curfew orders.
Like other city, Kasuris were also
persecuted and prosecuted. And some of
them were despatch to black waters for
life time and others penalised with
imprisonment for stipulated periods.
The book Divide and Quit written by
Penderel Moon of London in 1962 depicts
on page 188 that I was reminded of an
incident
recorded
in
the
Hunter
Commissions Report on the Punjab
Disturbances of 1919. The boys of some
schools in the town of Kasur had part in
the disorders and at the suggestion of an
English Magistrate; the Military Officer
who was administering Martial Law in
the area had caused six of them to be
flogged.
The said officer also mentioned that I
have chosen 6 boys to be whipped, not by
determining any guilt of them but by just
seeing their good health. (This is the
worst example of persecution and
prosecution and justice. Dr. Abdul
Quddus told me that his research depicts
that when asked to Headmaster of the
School to hand over 6 boys, he chosen
normal boys, hitherto he asked to choose
healthy boys for flogging).

that in Kasur, The English Martial Law
Officer acted very horribly to increase
terror here....... Once, he ordered to flog a

And
the
participants Baratis were flogged in the
presence of artists called Twaifs. He
also habitual to order the persons to bow
down pro-straight and drag their
foreheads on earth before him. He made

whipping while they were tied with the
tree (at Gool Bagh now Ladies Park

The book Punjab in 1920 written by Dr.
Zarina Salamat says on page 49 writes
that Economic hardships and coercive
measures by the ruthless administration
of O Dwyer prepared the ground for the
Jillianwala Bagh tragedy. The clash in
1919 manifested that no other province
in India had suffered as much as Punjab
during the war. On page 56 she says that
the Ulema used the mosques and
educational institutions to stir up pan
Islamic
passions......their
militant
attitude fostered an intensification of
agitation. They represented the extremist
views. Moulana Atta Ullah Shah Bokhari,
Daoud Ghaznavi and Mohammad Ismail
from
Amritsar
were
the
leading
exponents of the movement in the
Punjab......... Those nationalist Muslims
endeavoured to build bridges between the
Ulema and the congress, while they
dominated the Muslim League. Among
them were........ Abdul Qadir and Ghulam
Mohyodin of Kasur.

The thesis Muslim Punjab Ka Syasi
Artiqa from 1849 to 1947 written by
Zahid Ch. Mentioned on the page 52 that
on 21 July, 1919 the Anti Rowalt Act
Movement was suddenly ended by
passing a resolution under the leadership
of Mr. Gandhi. The resolution did not
utter a single word against the brutality
inflicted by the English Government on
the public of Kasur.... and other city of
Punjab.
In 1946 Quaid-I-Azam had come to
Kasur and according to the thesis Kasur
Aik Shahr Aik Rawayat, the Kasuri
people had welcomed their leader very
warmly. Quid-I-Azam addressed to the
Kasuris People at Railway Station
Kasur. There is the great contribution of
Kasuri people in the struggle for the
independence of the Sub-Continent. It is
well said that Lahore is the heart of
Pakistan and Kasur is the Gate to
Pakistan. Kasur is a watching eye to
protect Pakistan.
In 1965 Indo-Pak War: Kasuris provide
evidence to be courageous and valiant by
standing shoulder to shoulder with their
beloved Pakistani soldiers, and maintain
the Support to Pakistan Military at that
crucial time, that consequent upon the
victorious capturing the Indian areas as
of Khem Karan. And among others Rank
and File of the Loyal Armed Forces of
Pakistan, there were Kasuris soldiers and

Officers.
Kasuris
Brigadier
Ahsan
Rasheed Shami HJ (Hilal-i-Juraat
Military) and Captain Ahmad Muneer
Shaheed SJ (Sitara-i-Juraat Military)
fought in the line of fire, very heroically.
Apart from Kasuris, there were Ex.
President of Pakistan General Pervez
Musharaf then served here as a Captain,
whereas Ex. President of Bangladesh
General Zia-ur-Rehman then served here
as a Major.
Regarding that war, it is rumour that the
Indian Military planned to launch attack
on Kasur and while fighting here, to have
their morning tea at Kasur and lunch at
Gymkhana Lahore. But, however neither
tea nor lunch rather in reverse to those
enemy plans, Indians own territory was
crossed and captured by the daring and
dashing Pakistan Military. Indian plan to
have their Morning Tea at Kasur became
factually Indian defeat at their homeland.
Kasuris Brigadier Ahsan Rasheed Shami
HJ (Hilal-i-Juraat Military) and Captain
Ahmad Muneer Shaheed SJ (Sitara-iJuraat Military) were elevated on the
unique honour of martyrdom in the
battlefield, while fighting for their
motherland. In commemoration to the
martyred of the said war, Pakistan has
maintained a Brigadier Shami Monument
at Mustafa Abad (on Ferozpur Road near
Lulyani Nahar, Kasur).
There are 55
martyrs Soldiers and Officers of 1965
War; lying on heavenly rest. Here on
every 6th September annual memorial
ceremony is held.
In 1971 Indo-Pak War:
Kasur again
corroborative to be the strong hold of
Pakistan Defence. This time on Indo-Pak
border at Hussaini Wala Sector Ganda
Singh wala: there was one of the tough
180

fights of the Military History. Whereas
the enemies were on the higher position
of about 25 feet and the brave Pakistani
Armed Forces, responded the ultimatum
of Indians, they physically jumped from
lower plain to the challenging top, facing
the shower of bullets in the inimical
parameter and survive and rise from the
ashes as victorious sphinx.
Indian claimed this sector to be the
Proud if Indian Defence. They
constructed very solid concrete bunkers
there; some of them were much hidden
one and of multiple stories. However,
Indian armed forces were worst defeated
there by brave, valiant and fearless
Pakistan military.
Pakistan has commemorated the said
Ganda Singh Wala post in the name of
Colonel Ghulam Hussain Shaheed HJ.
Who was martyred here in 1971 war and
awarded with the 2nd highest gallantry
award
of
Pakistan
Hilal-i-Juraat.
Whereas the military troops under his
command and after his martyrdom under
the command of Colonel Muhammad
Masoom fought very bravely and
captured the renowned Qila for guarding
their Railway Track
called Qaisar i
Hind swollen with pride of Indian
Defence. Large casualties were occurred
there. Pakistan 67 troops got martyrdom
and more than that figure got injuries.
Our 9 soldiers were awarded with 3rd
highest gallantry award of Pakistan
Sitara i Juraat. One Kasuri Soldier
Hawaldar Muhammad Shaffi SJ was
among those survivors of war with
victorious soldier spirit who remain on
the front defence line and defend their
mother land as Ghazis. He was awarded
with Sitara i Juraat. In 1990, on the

request
of
the
author,
Hawaldar
Muhammad Shaffi SJ joined the Pak
Watan Council PWC, for human and
social development.
Mein says that Kasuris are patriot,
fearless and brave. Impartial assessment
indo- Pak wars of 1965 and 1971 reflects
that Indian armed forces had inflected
brutality by full throttle shelling and air
strikes here even on the civil areas of
Kasur. And it was more than any other
part f Pakistan. But Kasuris remained
courageous. They had not only defended
themselves rather staunchly supported
the brave armed forces of Pakistan, who
were at war. Kasuris remained available
in their homes.
They even help in
continuance of supplies to loyal Pakistani
soldiers. In 1965 Pakistani troops got
victory over the Indian Khem Karn
Sectors.
Whereas, in 1971 our loyal
Pakistani armed forces get victory over
Qaisar Hind fort at Feroze Pur sector.
During those Indo-Pak wars, our singers,
players and artists played very vital role
by taking part in Jihad through their
artistic talent and faculties. That was
being broadcast as a permanent source
of encouraging and confirming the brave
soldiers in actions at front line of war.
The most prominent role in this regard
was also played by a Kasuri Singer
Madam Noor Jahan. And due to her
infinite and unprecedentedly role in war,
she was awarded with pride of
performance and the unique title of
Malika Tarranum (Queen of Melody).
The thesis Kasur Aik Shahr Aik Rawayat
by Zafar Mansoor Kasuri reveals that
History witnessed that during the IndoPak Wars of 1965 and 1971, Kasur city
182

had faced comparatively terrible and
dangerous situation. The civil areas and
population had under gone very heavy
bomb shelling. Kasuris were courageous
and their high moral also encouraged
their Pak Armed Forces here. And thus
Kasur sectors proved successful during
both the wars for defence of Pakistan.
throws light on the contribution of
Kasuri Soldiers and Officers of Pak
Armed Forces in the War of 1965 and
writes
that
a
Kasuri
Lieutenant
(promoted to Captain) Sheikh Ahmad
Muneer Shaheed (of Shami Family) had
embraced Martyrdom at Khem Karan
sector Kasur
Whereas in the war of 1971, according to
the thesis Kasur Aik Shahr Aik Rawayat,
Kasuris again shown their bravery at
battlefields. Syed Anwar Shah of Mujahid
Force was deployed at Sahjarah and Syed
Abid Ali Shah was detailed on the Civil
Defence; both were Kasuris and they
were among those valiant soldiers who
embraced martyrdom.
According to the thesis Kasur Tareekh K
Aeinan Mein Kasur is not laggard behind
in any sphere of life; either that is
metrical, literature and spiritual one. A
historical survey report shows that about
73 Male and 11 female Spiritual Peers
Awlya shrines are here, and these are the
veritable
spas
of
enlightenment
and
spiritual graciousness.
In Akhbar ul Auliya, as expounded in the
there is detailed discussion on the 173
male and 10 female Muslims saints in
Kasur.

I have studied the original, hand written
book Akhbar-al-Awliya by Abdullah
Kasuri, (it is 321 years old manuscript
of 1114 AH. Whereas now 1435 AH). It is
now available with Syed Mubarak Ali
Shah
Hamadani
family,
whose
descendent Syed Zuhair Shah Hamdani
has contested the general election 2013
as candidate for MPA Kasur.
The author agrees with the description of
the book Tareikh Punjab by Muhammad
Ayub Khan on the page 186 that Muslims
Chiefs and Heads of the Tribes and
Families offered their services to the
British and in rewards to those services
they were given Privileges, Titles, Awards
and Estates (Jagir) In Punjab. And that
Estates System (Jagirdari) is inflicted on
people till today and that is the actual
political and social issue for Pakistani
Nation.
The
present
Districts
Management
Structure in Punjab is the reminiscent of
the English Period. The thesis Zila Kasur
Ki Tashkeel by Khursheed Ali Khan
thematically throws light that for more
than the last 125 years there was no
major changes in the Boundaries of
Districts, except some of them, and for
some administrative reasons a few
Districts were hatched. But, however for
the last 50 years, no new District is
created. Since 1973, more than 6 subDivisions were considered to be upgraded to the status of District. Anyhow,
only two sub divisions were qualifying to
be notified as District, having the prerequisite resources. And one of them was
Kasur.
On July 1, 1976 Kasur was notified as a
District of Punjab. And the city of Kasur

At the time of partition of India, there
were 16 districts in Punjab Pakistan.
Latter on new districts were made after
bifurcation of existing districts.
Thus the 20th district in Punjab is Kasur.
Whereas presently total strength of the
Districts is 36 in Punjab Pakistan.
The thesis Zila Kasur Ki Tashkeel says
that initially it was considered that
Lahore District be divided into 2 Districts
and Lahore and Pattoki will be their
respective District Headquarters. The

that the District Lahore be divided into

The
Biggest
man-made
Jungle in the world

Changa Manga is the first and the only
ma-made forest in Pakistan. It is irrigated
by tube wells and canal water. The thesis
Kasur Tareekh K Aeinan Mein says that
it is the biggest canal irrigated Jungle. Its
area is 12139 acres.
In 1870 the forest was initially meant for
production and provision of fire-woods
(for Railways Steam Locomotive Engines
of the North-Western Railways). The area
was divided and developed gradually.
This Jungle is situated in the south of
Lahore and on 44 mile on Lahore-Karachi
track. Its trees are planted in abundance.
These trees are cut down by the interval

Shah:
Baba
Bulleh

Kasuris Baba Bulleh Shah Sahib Kasuri:
Bulleh Shah Sahib was the most-noblest

and the eminent Sufi Poet devilled in
Kasur Punjab in 17th century A.D. He
was a rebel of the dehumanized system
prevailing in his life-time and thus
instead of being the miserable obedient to
the transgressed, tyrant and despicable
social structure of the era, he launched a
literary and practical mutiny. He replaced
introversion, fawning and following
stoicism, and became more bold,
extroverted, and fighter for real change
for human salvation; by devoting his life
to raising a vociferous voice for humandignity, fundamental rights and integrity.
It was an alluring, dignified and
exemplary role of humanity, set by him.
His exertion, toil and perseverance for
advocacy to humanism had eventually
brought the highest esteem and honour
for him even after passing more than two
and half century. Indeed, his endeavour
was precedential, beyond mere striving
for achieving a climax in fellowship of
despotic and redundant system. His
treatises are sheer struggling -notation
above than plain worthy Sufi poetry: and
that earned for him the apex exemplary
position among all the Sufis Saints
Scholars and Poets of the Punjab.
Bulleh Shah the topper of all the Punjabi

Sufis
I happened to attend in 2013 the
International Haq Bahu Conference
Islamabad, at Islamabad Hotel and
National Library Islamabad arranged
under the august-descendants of the
pedigree
linage
of
Sultan
Bahu
particularly Sultan Muhammad Ali and
Sultan Ahmad Ali, and attended by the
211
Geniuses of Kasur
by

International delegates and National Topmost Politician and upper echelon of all
the spheres of life, Professor Gilbert
Heart of Harvard University USA,
specially addressed as an international
delegate and as an expert on Sultan
Bahus through light on the personality,
work and poetry of Sultan Bahu. He
further told that he worked about 50
years to understand Sultan Bahu.
Audiences were much impressed by him.
On a question about maintaining a
permanent Chair on Sultan Bahu in
Harvard University, he replied that the
Icon of Punjabi Sufism is Bulleh Shah.
And this answer of his had further
corroborated on my belief on Bulleh
Shahs being the topper among the Sufis
from Punjab.
Bulleh Shah the Most Prominent Kasuri
He is respected as the most prominent

Kasuri and the saint scholar who had
challenged the frivolous orthodoxy,
leading
to
general
emancipation.
Salutation, tribute and homage are here
for him by every class, religion, ethnicity,
culture, country and continent.

Sheikh Muhammad Ghous Bandgi is

another Genius and prominent saint in
his ascendant lineage: who had migrated
in the age of 54 year (in 887.A. H.) from
Hulb to Uch (Bahawalpur).
Relocation from Uch to Malik wal to Pandoki

to Kasur
When Bulleh Shah was six months old,

his parents relocated from Uch to Malik
wal, Old District Multan and present
District Sahiwal. His father, Saikhi
Muhammad Derwaish Shah, was a
teacher in the Masjid of Malik wal village.
Later on, Bulleh Shahs family had
travelled by horses from Uch to Kasur
and settled therein the Village Pandoki
214
Geniuses of Kasur
by

District Kasur. Bulleh Shahs father was
appointed as a teacher in the Masjid of
the village Pandoki. He was also a land
tiller/ agricultural farmer.
Pandoki:
Chaudhary Pando and Chaudhary

Sudhaar were the real brothers. They
belong to Bhatti tribe. Both were settled
in that area by dwelling 2 separate
villages in their own names, about 5 KM
away in the west from Souaa Assal
Ferozpur Road on the bank of Upper Bari
Dooaab Canal Kasur.
Sitting Plinths in the name of Baba Bulleh

Shah
It is also researched that wherever Bulleh

Shah had stayed, a sitting plinth is raised
in his commemoration.
Education
He began to seek his early education

from his father in Pandoki. And latter on
join the discipleship of Hazrat Khawaja
Mehdoom Kasuri. Hazrat Waris Shah the
writer of "Heer- Waris Shah" was also the
pupil of said Khawja Sahib.
Some traditional writers say that Hazrat
Bulleh Shah and Hazrat Waris Shah the
writer of "Heer- Waris Shah" was the
pupil of Khawaja Hafiz Ghulam Murtaza
Kasuri, and they were class-fellows and
had spent almost a decade there. But, as
a matter of fact, Hafiz Ghulam Murtaza
Kasuri was born about 1850 a century
after Baba Bulleh Shah. Whereas Bulleh
215
Geniuses of Kasur
by
Shahs date of birth is recorded as 1680

and that of Waris Shah is 1706, hence
they are not class-fellow, but (may be
the )pupil of the same teacher Hazrat
Khawaja Mehdoom Kasuri as mentioned
in supra.
Baba Waris Shah was learned laureate of
highest calibre, hence he is known as
Shakespeare of the Punjab.
Bulleh Shah after acquiring education
had pondered over to search a spiritual
guide, mentor and master who impart
him as how he could peep deep into the
inner-self and get elevation in solace,
serenity and contentment that culminate
into eternal relief.
He went to the religious saint scholar
Hazrat Shah Inayat Qadri who was an
Arian by caste (Gardner by profession)
and belong to Kasur but expelled from
Kasur by the then Kasuri-Pathan Ruler
due to his religious righteous thoughts
and preaching: which were not bearable
by the local tyrant rulers.
Shah Inayat Qadri ordered Bulleh Shah,
after completion of education, to go to
Kasur and to be settled in Kasur (as
previously Shah Inayat Qadri was forced
to leave Kasur and consequently
migrated and settled in Lahore).
Bulleh Shah was much proud of being
the disciple of Shah Inayat Qadri. And
with abundance of love, veneration, and
respect to him he narrated in full
emotions, passions and sentiments, as
he should be called Arian instead of Syed
by caste.
Line Up
216
Geniuses of Kasur
by
It is presumed that Hazrat Bulleh Shah

was in the line up with the poetic- view of
Hazrat Baba Farid Ganj Shaker and
Hazrat Baba Ghulam Farid of Mathan
Kot, District Bahawalpur.
Predicaments to Baba Bulleh Shah
Bulleh Shah had faced always the horns

of dilemma. Those difficulties were on
both the sides i.e. Personal and Social:
(A) Personal Inconvenience
Bulleh Shah, like his Master Shah Inayat

Qadri,
had
undergone
gigantic
inconveniences in life.
Moreover, the
Kasuri Pathans rulers at that time had
inflicted brutalities on him but he
remained
steadfast
with
courage,
boldness, and iron determination.
(B) Social Upheaval
Law and order situation was debilitated

as chaos and anarchy loomed-largely all
over the Punjab. Lawlessness was
everywhere. No practical command and
control was there to handle the tarnished
circumstances. There was no writ of
Government. Notorious gangsters were
gone unleashed. Riots were running.
Vicious designs, plundering and looting
was going on.
Bulleh Shah had reflected that Political
cataclysm, social jeopardy and economic
upheaval in his verses and version. He
symbolised that disorder, melancholy and
abysmally dismal state of affairs in
Punjab as an entrance to apocalyptic
Armageddon.
Bulleh Shah had witnessed the era of
217
Geniuses of Kasur
by

hullabaloo come into sight as the
aftermath of death of Mogul King
Mohyodin
Muhammad
Alimgir
(Aurangzeb).
Spiritual Elevation:
The work of Bulleh Shah highlights his

mystical spiritual voyage through all the
four stages of Sufism:
Shariat (Path),
Tariqat (Observance),
Haqiqat (Truth) and
Marfat (Union).
Baba Bulleh Shah and human rights:

The simplest way of Bulleh shah to
addressing the complex fundamental
issues of life and humanity is very much
appealing one. People have put easily his
Kafis to music.
Appreciation to his Work
Hazrat Baba Bulleh Shah continued the

Sufi tradition of Punjabi poetry of Shah
Hussain (1538 1599), Sultan Bahu
(1629 1691), and Shah Sharaf (1640
1724).
Bulleh Shah was the contemporary of
Sindhi Sufi poet Shah Abdul Latief
Bhatai (1689 1752).
He was also of the same period of Punjabi
poet Waris Shah (1722 1798) who was
famous for his book Heer Ranjha. (The
age difference among Bulleh Shah Sahib
and Waris Shah Sahib is thus more than
40 years)
The Sindhi Sufi poet Abdul Wahab (1739
1829), who is famous by his pen-name,
Sachal Sarmast means leader of the
truth seekers.
Moreover, Mir Taqi Mir (1723 1810) the
218
Geniuses of Kasur
by

most renowned Urdu poet lived in the
same age but in Agra 400 miles away
from Kasur, the city of Bulleh Shah.
Calligrapher of a Copy of Holy Quran
Baba Bulleh-Shahs hand written copy of

Holy Quran is a sacred relic.
Style of his Poetry
The verses of Bulleh Shah the Kafi a style

of Punjabi, Sindhi and Siraiki poetry
used by both the Muslims Sufis of Sind
and Punjab as well as the Sikh Gurus.
Baba Bulleh Shah left this world in 1757
Baba Bulleh Shah was passed away from

this material world but the tyranny of the
Kasuri Pathans rulers of that era
continued towards Baba Bulleh Shah, his
burial was delayed due to the anger of
those rulers, resulting in reluctance to
offer his burial prayers. After three days
two geniuses Kasuri Hazrat Baba Zahid
Shah Hamdani and his son Hazrat Baba
Kamil Shah Hamadani who were out of
Kasur for some piece of work, returned to
Kasur and lead to offer Baba Bulleh
Shahs burial prayers. He was buried
near the Garru Khoh, outside Lohay wala
Derwaza, (Railway Road now called Baba
Bulleh Shah Road) Kasur.
Shrine
A mausoleum was built which is now

renovated as a very splendid- edifice and
highly decorated shrine.
An alluring magnificent and glorious
festival (Urss and Maila) is celebrated
219

by
every year therein Kasur usually in the

calendar month of August.
Officially District Government Kasur
grants usually a local holiday on the
occasion.
250th Anniversary of Baba Bulleh Shah
Here in the following lines is a personal

observation of this author on the 250th
anniversary of Baba Bulleh Shah:
celebrated in Kasur on 27th August 2007.
I was invited on the stage to make a
welcoming address.
Speaking on the occasion, I brought into
lustre lime-light the spiritual power,
worthier style and the worldwide
appreciation of the sacrosanct work
delivered by the Grand Saint, Mystic-Poet
Laureate and Scholar Baba Bulleh Shah
Sahib, who flourished the universal
brotherhood, fraternity equality, and
humanism: that enhances further peace,
harmony, and morale. Baba Bulleh Shah
is one of the most geniuses and
prominent Sufi poet of the Punjab, who
challenged
the
religious
orthodoxy
therein the 17th century, and till today
his shrine is free from all collective or
communal refuse. Nationality, allegiance,
rank, status or class is of no importance
there.
Everyone from any country, colour,
culture, caste, creed or continent, can
visit here, legitimately, to witness the
ever-evolving brotherhood, fraternity and
friendliness.
Open
heartedwarmwelcome is being extended to all. Baba
Bulleh Shah had expounded the most
blessed heavenly message of peace in the
most dashing, daring, ravishing, and
220
Geniuses of Kasur
by
lavishing manner. It also reveals to

everyone like the day-light that how
beautifully, brilliantly, ambitiously, and
effectively the sayings and practices of
Baba Bulleh Shah are being excelled,
exceeded, transcended and traversed
extensively from material boundaries and
territorial limitations, with all the
enthralled success, throughout. People
are as enamoured to him as placing their
heads over his heels in love and devotion.
We are enshrining the grand saint Baba
Bulleh Shah in the heart of our heart
and vowing our pledge to act upon his
result oriented teachings of humanity.
His analytical wisdom is flourishing
largely which he instead of being
introvert, had thrived as being extrovert,
and thus he had defeated the mundanely,
ephemeral or antagonistic behaviour. His
lessons are enough to make us grooming
with burgeoning confidence through
education,
enlightenment
and
moderation. As he stressed on ones
articulation with cosmopolitan approach
and emphasised that everyone to be well
equipped with humanistic behaviour. He
also reiterated to gird up loin to struggle
against
tyrants,
oppressors,
dehumanized and despots.
He laboured to eradicating despondency,
predicaments,
wanton
dejections,
ruthlessness, devastation, despicability
dehumanization, and all kind of other
inflicting brutalities. And ever hailed for a
positive change in the society for the
safety, salvation, grand liberty, amnesty
and emancipation of humanity. Such
revolutionary measures were cause to
garnishing him with the epithet of the
supporter, promoter and exponent of
human rights. His love to human dignity
221
Geniuses of Kasur
by
was not limited. And in retaliation he had

to undergo the belligerency of the socalled orthodox religious circles in his
life, throughout and even after his being
passed away from this mundane world.
But his struggle earned him a good
name. Applauded by all those who love
humanity and society. People celebrate
his anniversary with all admiration,
regard and appreciation. On his shrine
persons are found with shining and
blooming
cheers,
enthusiasm
and
happiness. They are shoulder to shoulder
with each other, well immersed with zeal
and zest, hale and hearty, go and gusto,
social pace and peace.
The real spirit, sentiments and emotions
for universal brotherhoods, fraternity,
harmony, tranquillity, amicability and
altruism are there, in the result of acting
upon the teachings of Baba Bulleh Shah.
Frivolous, mischievous, and vexatious
mindedness come to end.
Pride and
prejudice finish with a positive change of
impartiality, justice and fair-play for all.
The guided principles of being at peace
with ourselves and also to be at peace
with others, is thus remains stayed alive.
Consequently it would be witnessed by
the generations that the humanism is
being
increasing,
burgeoning,
and
growing up, as practiced and propagated
by Baba Bulleh Shah. It is also pertinent
to say that the inhabitants of Kasur are
also observing this festival to strive for
their best love to humanity. They are
getting excel in being large hearted and
open minded to all, like a sweetheart,
kindred soul and alter- ego, to embracing
love to everyone. The leading and
laudable humanistic message of Baba
Bulleh shah thus spreads all over the
222
Geniuses of Kasur
by

world. Indeed, Humanity is the suppermost blessing of the Supreme Being
Allah. And the work of the most Genius
of Kasur, Baba Bulleh Shah is closely in
this line up, as it is conceded highly
valued, sacrosanct, and cynosure worthverses, that oozed out from Kasuri Baba
Bulleh Shah. These are the most
veritable reservoir of spiritual education
as well as the spa of revolution and
reformation for both the inner-self outer
world. That is the masterpiece of art and
literature and also the chef d oeuvre by
the laureate of the era. Sanguine
aspiration is there in the verses of his for
hopefulness to all the generations. His
practically
ceaseless
struggle
for
empowerment of humanity and society
with the trait of self- sufficiency is
rendering a great role for all the times.
Much work on his life and poetry has
rendered so far and now even PhDs are
awarded to scholars on their thesis on
Baba Bulleh Shah, Dr. Kaljeet Sheelay
PhD. is one of them. She is heard by me
to saying that Baba Bulleh Shah gave
tongue to women and raised voice for
women rights hence she is so inspired
and became the first one who done PhD
on Baba Bulleh Shah. And she is also a
woman and not a man. It is the great
tribute from a woman to one who
elevated the women cause. In the end I
also present salute to all those who
participated in the anniversary of Baba
Bulleh Shah, and have paid their
compliments, homage and tributes to the
grand saint.
Baba Bulleh Shah and Kasur

223
Geniuses of Kasur
by
Baba Bulleh Shah in his poetry had also

discussed Kasur and its social and
political picture of his time, similarly to
Baba Waris Shah. He not only lived in
Kasur but also rather loves it and its
inhabitants, and also depicted his
affection for both of them in his writings.
Poetic work (Translation)
I belong neither to water not to earth

I am neither fire, not air
I know not who I am
Neither do I know the secret of religion
nor am I born of Adam and Eve
I have given myself no name
I belong neither to those who squat and
pray
nor to those who have gone astray
I know not who I am
I know not who I am
I am neither a believer going to the
mosque
nor given to non-believing ways
neither clean, nor unclean
Neither Moses not Pharaoh
I know not who I am
I was in the beginning, Id be there in the
end
I know not anyone other than the One
Who could be wiser than Baba Bulleh
Shah
Whose Master is ever there to tend?
I know not who I am.
I am neither among sinners nor among
saints
Neither happy, nor unhappy

the greatest Sufi mystic poet of the
Punjab Baba Bulleh Shah was the
pinnacle of Sufi literature.
He was an eminent scholar of Arabic,
Punjabi and Persian.
His work is compared as of Moulana

The humanistic work of his encourages

Whoever loves Baba Bulleh Shah feels
happiness and pleasure to hold him in
high veneration due to his spiritual
height, human promotion and intellectual
advancement.
Indeed he is an instrumental in
persuading and patronizing his disciples
to get rise through practicing upon his
teachings of humanistic behaviour to all.
Definitely, Baba Bulleh Shahs untainted
roll of life, elevated spiritualism and high
humanistic success, made him equally
popular among all communities.
Mentor of Kasuri Hazrat Baba Bulleh Shah,
Kasuri Baba Hazrat Shah Inayat Qadri:
Baba Shah Inayat Qadri Kasuri Sahib

was the Spiritual Master of Baba Bulleh
Shah Sahib. He was Arian by caste and
Gardner by profession. He was the son of
Molvi Pir Muhammad and born in 1056
A.H. He settled first in Mazang Lahore
and subsequently in Kasur, as here his
in-laws were already settled. Baba Shah
Inayat Qadri Kasuri Sahib was in his
early age when his father was died in
Kasur. Shah Inayat then went to Lahore
and became the disciple of Hazrat
Muhammad Raza Shah Qadri Shatari.
After spiritual education, exertion and
perseverance, Shah Inayat Qadri Shatari
was ordered by his spiritual Master to go
to Kasur and to be settled there. He
returned to Kasur. And he was married
with a woman here in Kasur. He
preached here his religious and spiritual
thoughts which were not tolerated by the
then Kasuri Pathan rulers of the area.
Hence he was forcefully expelled-out from
Kasur by the then Kasuri Pathan ruler
(Nawab Muhammad Hussain Khan). He
migrated to Mazang Lahore. He served
226
Geniuses of Kasur
by
there for more than thirty years as

religious Scholar and author of many
books. He has rendered translations of
some books. His book Distoor ul Amal
is the best renowned. He was a good land
tiller. His agricultural land is now
situated on Wahdat Road Lahore.
I am given to understand that Dr.
Shamim Sahib who served as the Medical
Superintendent at the Punjab Institute of
Cardiology (Hospital) Lahore was from
the lineage of Hazrat Shah Inayat Qadri
Sahib.
Baba Bulleh Shah as a pupil came into
discipleship of Shah Inayat Qadri
Shatari. He prepared Baba Bulleh Shah
to settle in Kasur. Previously, Hazrat
Baba Shah Inayat Qadri Sahib expelled
as mentioned above. It is also noteworthy
that both the Hazrat Baba Shah Inayat
and Hazrat Baba Bulleh Shah were
ordered by their respective mentors to be
settled in Kasur. Both had to face the
same agony and annoyance of local
rulers of their era.
The shrine of Shah Inayat Qadri is
situated on the Queens Road Shahrah-IFatima Jinnah, near the daily Nawa I
Waqat Building Lahore. His two sons
Hazrat
Zahid
Ullah
and
Hazrat
Muhammad Zaman are also buried
there.
An alluring magnificent & glorious
festival (Urss) is celebrated every year.
Book Tazkrae I Ulama-I- Hind Page 152,
and book Shijirat Ul Ansab written by
Sheikh Ghulam Rasool in 1192 A. H. and

the highly elevated religious personality
of Shah Inayat Allah Qadri Kasuri and
his perseverance.

Geniuses of Kasur
by
Hazrat Baba Shah Inayat Sahib and Hazrat

Baba Bulleh Shah Sahib:
Baba
Bulleh Shah gone through
immense labours before he could achieve
the
inner
knowledge.
This
accomplishment
was
possible
only
through his contact with his Murshid or
Mentor/ Master, Shah Inayat Qadri. The
study of scriptures and other holy books
had only aroused his interest and
inquisitiveness about spiritual insight.
His desire for getting spiritual elevation
had fulfilled by his personal meeting with
the Master Shah Inayat Qadiri.
Shah Inayat Qadri was a well-known
Qadiri Sufi of his era. From the historical
point of view the Qadiri Sufis can be
traced back to the grandest Saint Hazrat
Abdul Qadri Jilani of Bagdad, who is also
known by the epithets as Ghous al Azam,
Pir Dastgir and Pir-i-Piran. Baba Bulleh
Shah himself has also given a clue that
his "Master of Masters" was born in
Bagdad but his own Master now lives in
Lahore:
My Master of Masters hailed from
Bagdad, but my Master belongs to the
throne of Lahore.
It is all the same. For him he is the kite
as well as himself is the string.
Popularity
Shah Inayat Qadiri Sahibs fame is more

attached with one of his disciple Hazrat
Baba Bulleh Shah Sahib. In this book I
have tried to throw light on the spiritual
relation between both the saints. He was
a Sufi saint of the Qadiri tradition and
was a scholarly author. He wrote a
number of renowned Persian books on
Mysticism. As the following
228
Geniuses of Kasur
by
Dastur-ul-Amal,
Islah-ul-Amal,
Lataif-i-Ghaibya,
Ishart ul Talibin
In Bang-i-Auliya-i-Hind, the reference is
given about him as:
From the tribe of gardeners was Brother
Shah Inayat,
He received honour from Shah Raza Wali
Allah.
He earned his living in the small town of
Kasur Pathanan.
The ruler Hussain Khan of this town was
his archenemy.
From there Inayat Shah came to the city
of Lahore;
Two miles to the south of the city he
made his habitation.
It is at this place that we find his tomb.
In 1141 A.H. he departed from this
world.
It is said that even before making contact
with Baba Shah Inayat, Baba Bulleh
Shah used to do some spiritual practice,
and had acquired certain miraculous
powers. When Baba Bulleh Shah, as the
seeker of true Guide and Mentor, passed
near the small field of Baba Shah Inayat,
he saw fruit laden trees on both sides of
the road. Shah Inayat himself was
engaged in planting onion plantlet. It
happened to Baba Bulleh Shah to
assessment Baba Shah Inayat of his
spiritual power. Invoking the name of
Allah, Baba Bulleh Shah looked at the
trees, and the fruit started falling on the
ground. Shah Inayat looked back and
saw that unripe fruit were falling from
the trees without any reason. He
immediately realized that it was due to
the mischief played by the young man
passing by. He looked towards Baba
229
Geniuses of Kasur
by
Bulleh Shah and said, "Well, young man,

why had you brought down the unripe
fruit from the trees?"
This was all, what Baba Bulleh Shah
wanted to find a chance to talk to Shah
Inayat. He went up to him and said,
"Boss, I neither climbed up the trees, nor
did I throw any stones at the fruit, how
could I tear those from the trees?"
Shah Inayat spread a full glance at Baba
Bulleh Shah and said, "O man, you are
really a brainy!
Shah Inayat quick look was so
penetrating that it touched Baba Bulleh
Shahs heart and he straight away fell at
his feet.
Shah Inayat asked him his name and the
purpose for coming to him. He replied,
"Boss, my name is Bulleh and I only wish
to know how I can realize Allah."
Shah Inayat said, "Why do you look
down? Get up and look at me."
As soon as Baba Bulleh Shah raised his
head and looked at Shah Inayat, the
Master again cast at him a full glance,
loaded with love and shaking him all
through.
He said "O Bulleh, what problem is there
in finding Allah?
It is only needed man to uproot himself
from here and to plant himself there."
Means if you want spiritual progress then
detach your mind from worldly things
and attach every importance only to
Allah.
This was enough for Baba Bulleh Shah.
He got what he had desired for.
Shah Inayat had infused into him the
real essence of spirituality in these few
words.
Bang-i-Auliya-i-Hind told us "In the city
of Kasur Pathanan it happened to a man
230

of Allah, a Descendent of Prophet Hazrat

Mohammed (PBUH) and the Grand
Grandson of Peer Shah Abdul Qadir
Jilani, that he achieved greatness from
Hazrat Shah Inayat whose tomb lies in
Lahore, south of the city. Baba Bulleh
Shah said to himself, "I must get my
Master after testing him. I must fully
satisfy myself, I must drink water after
straining it." In his intense search for his
Master he first looked towards Lahore,
and then he came there and took his
residence, where the garden of Shah
Inayat was situated. There he saw a
mango on a tree at that time, he looked
at it, invoked the name of God, and the
mango fell on the ground. Shah Inayat
gave a call to him and said, "Listen, you
wayfarer, you have stolen mango. Give it
back to me." Baba Bulleh Shah replied, "I
did not climb up the tree; your mangoes
are far from my reach. It is with the wind
that the mango broke from the branch
and came into my lap. Invoking the name
of God, you got the mango. You have
committed a theft. Baba Bulleh Shah
realized
the
spiritual
power
and
knowledge of Shah Inayat. He fell at his
feet, and was graced by initiation from
the Master and attained the secret
knowledge."
Another scholar had written the incident
as: Baba Bulleh Shah had all those
virtues in him who Shah Inayat was
looking for in a disciple. He opened his
inner treasure and placed it before him.
He got the vision, he became oblivious of
his surroundings, and in that state of
rapture he proclaimed the gift of his
inner grace in the manner of Mansur. "
Baba Bulleh Shah then to onward had
happening to pass his time in a state of
231
Geniuses of Kasur
by
extraordinary ecstasy.
In the company of his Master as well as
by following the path guided by his
Mentor Hazrat Baba Shah Inayt, Baba
Bulleh Shah's spiritual condition also
started changing day by day.
His Kafi, "Whatever colour I am dyed in ",
makes it clear, how great was the effect of
his Master on him. In it he mentions that
his inner eye had been opened, all his
doubts had been removed, and he had
been blessed with the light of Realization.
He became strangely selfless and
impervious to affairs of the world.
Whatever inquisitiveness Baba Bulleh
Shah had in his mind before he met his
Master, were all went down in the
experience of inner light. When he had
made up his mind to come to Shah
Inayat, people had advised against to
doing so, saying, "You are a descendent of
Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH).
Does it seem right to you to go to an
ordinary gardener of Arian caste and
become his disciple? Is it not shameful?"
But actually Shah Inayat was true to his
name. He showered such a grace on Baba
Bulleh Shah that a single glance of his
made him dripping wet with spiritual
light. In fervent ecstatic gratitude Baba
Bulleh Shah proclaimed: "O Bulleh, if you
seek the pleasure of a garden in spring,
go and become a servant of the Arian."
Baba Bulleh Shah held the border of his
Master's cloak so firmly that he never let
it loose from his hand for the rest of his
life. He loved so much to his Master
besides calling him as Boss, Lord,
Friend, and Beloved. He also addressed
Shah Inayat with such words as Guide,
as one who unites people with Allah. Ha
said about Shah Inayat as
232

by
He listens to my tale of woe;

Shah Inayat is my Master, who has come
to grace me.
All my wrangles and strifes are over. Who
can now delude me?
Bulleh has fallen in love with the Lord.
He has given his life and body as earnest.
His Lord and Master is Shah Inayat, who
has captivated his heart.
Shah Inayat himself showed it, and then
alone I could see.
Inayat will come to my dreamland; I am
in great delight.
My friends have come to congratulate me.
Shah Inayat, my Lord, has fulfilled my
hopes.
I left my parents to take your shelter, O
my beloved King Inayat!
Now honour this bond of love, for I am
entirely in your hands.
Pray, walk into my courtyard!
Come Love, fold me in your arms, Why
this estrangement?
Ever since I found Shah Inayat, The Lord
has taken abode in me.
Bulleh Shah has no caste; he has found
Shah Inayat.
He calls his Master the Lord of the soul
and the philosopher's stone, which can
turn iron into gold.
O Bulleh, my Lord Inayat knows Allah; he
is the Master of my heart. I am iron; he is
the assay.
The Master is an adept in swimming; he
can take across an inept and helpless
woman.
Baba Bulleh Shah also calls him the one
who can embellish the soul with spiritual
apparel and jewellery and transform
widow into a bride.
O Bulleh, the Lord brought me to the
door of Inayat, Who embellished me with
233
Geniuses of Kasur
by
clothes green and red.

For a scholar, Baba Bulleh Shah who
belonged to the line of Holy Prophet
Hazrat Mohammed (PBUH) to accept an
ordinary vegetable grower (Arian) as his
Master was a very unusual event in the
social conditions of Baba Bulleh Shah's
times. It was like a flare-up which quake
the prevailing social structure.
Baba Bulleh Shah had to suffer the
ridiculous remarks not only of the
members of his family but also of men of
his religion, clan and caste.
Baba Bulleh Shah says what has love
done to me?
People launch at me taunts and rebukes.
To admonish Bulleh Shah, there came
his sisters and sisters-in-law, "Why have
you brought disgrace to the lineage of
Prophet and to the progeny of Ali? Listen
to our advice, O Bulleh shah, and leave
the edge of the Arians skirt.
Baba Bulleh Shah preached fearlessly
that the guidance of a Master was
indispensable, and the caste of the
Master did not at all matter in this
pursuit. Even if he belonged to the
ordinary caste, his help would still
remain essential.
Thus, he stated publicly at the top of his
voice that pride in being a Syed would
land one in hell, and the one who held
the miniskirt of a Master like Shah Inayat
would enjoy the pleasures of heaven.
Let anyone, who calls me a Syed; be
punished with tortures of hell,
And let him revel in the pleasures of
heaven, who labels me an Arian.
If you seek the pleasures of the spring
season, become a slave of the Arian.

Synopsis of Chapter: 7 Kasuris promoters of the Genesis of Kasur:

Kasuris promoters of the
Genesis of Kasur:
Children are the best identification of

each land. And character is the best
identification of each individual.
Soil of Kasur is richly fertile in having
such genius cluster of personalities who
always remains scintillating as coveted
superstars.
To
encompass
their
achievements as well as their ambitiously
manifested multiphase role, it is the
stratagem point to upon proper studying
voyage that leads us to their meritorious
approaches in every field. Toil, exertion
and hard working are their traits and
strategic depth.
We know dedication
makes us to get our ambitions. Potential,
efficiency and proficiency all are needs to
initiate any positive and constructive
goings-on either that are an intellectual
venture or a material entrepreneur in the
particular or assorted sphere. And in the
persona of those Geniuses of Kasur,
sincerity and love is everywhere but
disheartening is nowhere. They had not
only faced very staunchly all the
unwholesome
circumstances
and
psychosis tempests of worst manoeuvring
escalated very unreasonably against
those. But anyhow, contrary to that illicit
propagation they sustained with iron
determination for persistently incessant
endeavour with ever spiralling ambitions
241
Geniuses of Kasur
by
blended with perseverance per-se to be

deliberate, disciplined and worthwhile in
struggle for humanity and that will
uphold their aura which will continue to
inspire many hearts, forever. Actually it is
their sparkling beam of humanism with
dignified characteristics that writ-large
on their pleasing personality that has
articulated them with altruism blended
and revitalized with self reliance and
burgeoning confidence, adorned with
their well- cogitated and highly reflected
veritable reservoir of faith, nobility,
respect, ideology, allegories, consensuses
of opinion, cosmopolitan approach, and
practicability. Thus they are recognizing
the common humanity even of ones
opponents. They also demonstrate that
leadership is essential to getting things
done, very appropriately. And accordingly
their role is the best enlightening sign of
the qualities of good leaders having
blessed
with
self-knowledge,
selfreverence,
self-control,
commitment,
willingness to look to others for support,
being ready for every affirmative change,
and a desire to go to the extra mile for
realization of in-coming goal, and outgoing goal for their personal grooming
as well as human prosperity and social
development.
They are also aware to the need of being
clear about everything. And their own
values, priorities, and preferences are not
causing hurdle to someone else.
Envisaging from the annals of history,
witnessing the present and to forecasting
the future, I am hitherto pretty much
sure that Kasur is always generously
blessed with brilliant, magnanimous and
progressive brains having all acumen
that plausibly plays their vital beneficial
242

role in welfare and amelioration and thus

prove as they are amongst the
wholesome,
well-groomed
and
consecrated personas of the world to be y
hold in very high esteem, reverence and
regards.
All and above from mere fables, and apart
from any frivolous hype up; let us
enshrine, in the heart of our heart and
adorn even more fabulously, the geniuses
of Kasur; and know that those celebrities
are prestigious, prodigious, dashing,
lavishing, ravishing and striking ones in
many
spheres of life , including
statesmanship and politics, military and
civil bureaucracy;
technocratic and
professionalism and thus they have very
nicely contributing toward bringing
peace, promoting humanized behaviour
and evolving accomplishments; around
the globe.
On the Eastern Side of Kasur, there is
India. And since the making of Pakistan,
areas of Kasur were divided. Many
significant areas of Kasur were wrongly
given to India by the Boundary
Commission headed by Sir Red-Cliff,
because of his reported collusion with the
Indian high-ups. Later on, due to such
issues Indo-Pak have fought some full
escalated wars. Kasur had faced those
wars but responded with bravery and
prove the strong hold of Pakistan defence.
In 1965 Indo-Pak War: Kasuris provide
evidence to be courageous and valiant
one by standing shoulder to shoulder
with their beloved Pakistani soldiers, and
confirm the support to Pakistan Military
at that crucial time, that consequent
upon the victorious capturing the Indian
area Khem Karan. And among others

of Pakistan, there were Kasuris soldiers

and Officers. Kasuris Brigadier Ahsan

and embrace martyrdom for their beloved
homeland.
Apart from Kasuris Ex.
President of Pakistan General Pervez
Musharaf then served here as a Captain,
whereas Ex. President of Bangladesh
General Zia-ur-Rehman then served here
as a Major.
Regarding that war, it is reported that the
Indian Military planned to launch attack
on Kasur and have their Morning Tea at
Kasur and Lunch at Gymkhana Lahore.
But, anyhow, in reverse to the enemy
plans, Indians own territory was
captured by the daring and dashing
Pakistan Military. Indians were defeated
here worst. Indian plan to have
morning tea at Kasur became factually
Indian Mourning Tea in their territory.
In commemoration to the martyred of the
said war, Pakistan has maintained
Brigadier Shami Monument at Mustafa
Abad (on Ferozpur Road near Lulyani
Nahar, Kasur). There are 55 martyrs
Soldiers and Officers of 1965 War; lying
there in heavenly rest. Here on every 6th
September annual memorial ceremony is
held.
In 1971 Indo-Pak War: Kasur was again
proved as the Strong Hold of Pakistan
Defence. This time on Indo-Pak border at
Hussaini Wala Sector, at Ganda Singh
wala: there was one of the tough fights of
the Military History. Whereas the
enemies were on the higher position of
about 25 feet. And responded the

boundaries were declared, vide two

The revenue of
Patti Mughalan was
controlled by the Tehsildar Kasur
Like
Kasur
it
was
under
the
administrative
control
of
the
Commissioner of Lahore District.
In consequent upon Indo-Pak partition
the area of Patti Mughalan was given to
India in 1947. It was happened so,
because the people of the area were
politically influenced by the activists of
the independence movement activists,
inter alia with Mughals of Patti Mughalan
including Mirza Shujaa Baig, Mirza
Hameed Ullah Baig MLA/ MNA (Member
Legislative Assembly) and Landholder
Mian Kareem Bukhish (Village Headman/
Munsif of Akbar Pura Patti Mughalan),
and they were staunch supporter of
Pakistan. The English Rulers taken
revenge by detaching their lands from
proposed map of Pakistan, and including
their area Pitti into India other than
Pakistan, despite its revenue control was
under Tehsil Kasur. Same as Raja Jang,
Lulyani, Khudian and Kangan Pur areas

Partition, both they decided to leave their
belongings at Patti Mughalan and to live
in Kasur.

Bukhish (of Patti Mughalan Kasur now

Patti Mughalan is situated on 12 miles
from Ghara/ Sutlej River and 45 miles
from Lahore District.

Kareem Bukhish (Mughal of Patti
Mughalan, was the prominent who
resided there.
Patti Mughalan now, is a city and
a municipal council in the Tarn Taran
District of the Indian province of Punjab,
located 45 km from Amritsar. Tarn Taran
District was formed after the bifurcation
of Amritsar District in 2006. The
declaration to this effect was made by the
then Chief Minister of Punjab Captain (R)
Amarinder Singh, thus, it became the
19th district of Indian Punjab. It has
three Tehsil, which are Patti, Khadur and
Tarn Taran.
Patti in Punjabi means a street. Patti
Mughalan is connected through Railways
starting from Amritsar station to Khem
Karan Station. Previously it was also
connected from Khem Karan to Kasur
Station. But now Khem Karan is the last
station of India. And Patti is main town
on the border belt of India.
Before partition, the population of Patti
Mughalan was mainly belonging to Mogul
(Mughal), Syed, Rajput, Qazi, and Khatri
etc.
It was a good trade centre and famous
grain market.
Historically as aforementioned, before partition in 1947 Patti
was a sub- Tehsil under the Revenue
Control of Tehsil Kasur, Lahore District.
Thereafter it devolved to District Amritsar
Punjab.
Again
Amritsar
District
Bifurcated and Patti becomes part of the
newly created Tarn Taran District. Patti
has been a power centre and by some
estimates it has been so for as long as
Kasur City. In the medieval days (of
Mughal period) it was known as Nu249
Geniuses of Kasur
by
Lakha Patti Mughalan. That means it

generated high revenue of 9 Lac of
rupees. The town has fame of many
Villas, Mansions and Big Haveli of its
Rulers of Mogul tribe.
Patti Mughalan is also referenced as the
city of peers: as the renowned Peer Syed
Alam Ali Shah of Patti and Seven Faqeer
sisters of Patti.
Patti Mughalan has a population of
almost 50000 peoples before partition.
Males constitute 53% of the total
population and females 47%.
Patti Mughalan has an average literacy
rate of 65%, higher than the Indian
national average of 59.5%: male literacy
is 70%, and female literacy is 60%.
Many women are working women.
The town is situated on a mound which
adds to its altitude.
To the south-east of the town is a smaller
but higher mound which projects a Shiva
Temple. Patti Mughalan houses a fortress
built in 1755 A.D. which housed the local
police station up-till the year 2003.
The fortress of Patti Mughalan is an
archaeological pride of Punjab.
There remnants of a marvellous Islamic
Tomb near the Govt. Girls school, is the
pride of Patti after the fort.
Patti Mughalans altitude is 209 meters
(686 feet) ASL (above sea level) elevation.

Saleem Khan Jamand who had built the
Bawali (A Capacious Building) at Kasur
was one of the commanders of King
Babur, once he was waiting upon Sher
Shah Suri who replied and remarked as
if we rip open Saleem Khans stomach
we shall find Sultan Ibrahim Lodhi. It is
therefore to be noted that Sher Shah
hated the Pathans of Kasur because of
their siding with the Mogul at Panipat
battlefield where King Ibrahim Lodhi

He was the eldest son of SULTAN
AHMAD. Sultan Ahmad Shah was called
from Kasur by King Alimgir. But he died
on the way. However his two brothers
Bayazid Khan and Pir Khan reached to
the King and were confirmed with ranks
and positions. Husain Khan came back
to Kasur as the chief of the city Kasur.
Position of Kasuris at the Mogul Imperial
Court
The Mogul Imperial Court gave him high

position and made him THE CHIEF OF
KASUR. He, on the behest of SAYYID
KING MAKER was bitterly against the
TURANIAN noble ABD AL SAMAD KHAN
GOVERNOR LAHORE.
As SAYYID, the King Makers wanted to
fail the Governor. In these circumstances
Husain Khan stops paying tributes,
revenue and complying with the orders of
the governor. For these actions, he was
promised by

258

that he would be given the Viceroyalty of

Lahore
(Reference Khafi Khan, II, page 86: Book

Meanwhile Husain Khan began ravaging
the neighbouring territory, Governor left
with no other option but to military
expedition against him. He left Lahore
with 7000 OR 8000 cavalry; WHREAS
Kasuri Pathans had 8000 or 9000
cavalry (reference to the KHAFI KHAN)
but as per Reference to the Book
Maatthir Al ummra, Governors army was
7000 and Kasuri Pathans army was
3000. Whereas TAREIKH I MUZAFFARI
said that the Governors army was 10000
to 12000 and Kasuri Pathans army was
19000.
Governor wrote to Husain Khan that if he
did not devastate other neighbour
districts then he could be allowed to
retain Kasur, but however, Husain Khan
did not accept the offer, hence both the
Armies
combated
at
(HARCHOKI)
Chunian on 15 April 1720. Both the
armies fought against each other bravely,
but finally Husain Khan was murdered
with many of his troops. Thus with the
end of Nawab Husain Khan the
autonomous status of Kasur-estate
started from 1570 was also ended.
Note:
Nawab Husain Khan on many occasions

had defeated the troops of the viceroys
and ejected all the imperial and
provincial officials from Kasur. At the
time of governor Abdul Samad Khan, he
revolted openly. (Reference to the Tareikh

Banda Biragi in Kasur
The real name of Bonda/ Banda Biragi

was Luchmuan Dev. He bore on 27th
October 1670 in a Rajput family. He
became a pupil of a Hindu name Biragi
Janki Daas in Rajwari and that Guru
given him the name Madu Daas. As per
the book Bonda Singh Bahadur written
by Ganda Singh, it is written on the page
4 as when he came to Kasur to
participate in Mela Baisakhi in 1686. He
met to Ram Daas Biragi and he became
his disciple.
Guru Guband has change the name of
Madoo Daas to Bonda Singh/ Banda
Biragi and awarded him a flower Phool.
Guru Guband Singh declared and
ordered that it is the religious duty of
every Sikh to kill every mogul, Turk and
afghan. For this purpose he appointed
Bonda Singh Biragi to finish the Muslim
rule in India and established Khalsa
Raaj. He with the company of his 5 dears
(Punj Payary) advanced to the Punjab,
and started the massacred of Muslims
and at very large scale loot from Kathal
and Samana. There he had killed 15/20
thousand Muslims without any cause. He
260
Geniuses of Kasur
by
plundered
the
treasury.
Innocent
children and Purdah observing ladies
were also killed. Due to that Jeopardy
and for self defence many Muslims ladies
committed suicide. He also devastated
the areas of:
Kahram
Thaska
Kanjpur
Shah Abad
Mustafaabas
Kapuri
Anbala
Chitt
Banur
There he killed Muslims brutally.
Muslims houses were set on fire.
Masajids and shrines were demolished.
He also did the same destruction in
Sirhand
Saharanpur
Ainth
Bhahat
Nanota
Jalalabad
In those towns & cities, he also did
Muslims Massacred and loot on heavy
scale.
The tyranny of Bonda Biragi was inflicted
on Muslims very ruthlessly with its full
magnitude
of
dehumanization,
despicability, and despotism. In the
words of Syed Mazahir Ahsan Gillani as
quoted in the book Tareikh Punjab by
Uhammad on page 73 the brutal action
was in the style as the Muslims were
detained in their houses and the houses
were set on fire, consequently they burnt
into ashes. Sikhs said that action as
holly (means live entity to be set on
roasting). Sometimes live Muslims were
put into cages and set on fire and thus
261
Geniuses of Kasur
by

played holly with them. That was the
worst disorder, mess and quagmire
wreaked upon the Muslims by those who
consider them as holier-than-thou.
While burning of those Muslims there
were yep and yell scrams and reek of
blood and flesh. And that hue and cry
made them much happy. And when those
Muslims are roasted, the Sikhs ate them
with much relish. The pregnant Muslim
women were caught, their abdomen were
cut, their foetus were took out of the
wombs, they tossed those children into
the air, and by taking them on their
swords tips played them and got
pleasure, raising slogans in cheers and
shouted very vociferously jay Cary.
His army thereafter invaded into the area
of Sadhora, the Genius Prominent Sadaat
Pir Budhu Shah of Whish, had once
helped harboured those Sikhs against
moguls, and even sent Muslims disciples
in favour of the Sikhs to fight against the
Muslim Moguls. Now in return those
Sikhs in the leadership of Bonda Biragi
took military extradition against them.
They gathered those Muslims into the
Dera of Syed Bader ul Din Shah
descendant that Syed Pir Budhu shah
and killed them. Since that place is
called Qatal Garhi.
According to the book Tareikh I Punjab
by Muhammad Ayub Khan page75, when
Shammas U Din Khan Kasuri was
appointed as Governor Of Sultan Pur And
Julandhar, BONDA BERAGI looted and
massacred the Muslims in dooab and
advanced to the Eastern Punjab and with

areas he gathered 70 /80 thousand Sikh

Information about old Kasur

There is some information about old Kasur as
Expounded in the Book Tareikh I Mokhzan I

233 to onward, my study is as under:
Kashoor Called As Kasur
Tributary land of two rivers in Lahore

separate district), this city (Kasur) is
situated on the right side, 9 mile away
from SUTLEJ RIVER, and 24 KOS ( 57
Km) away from LAHORE, towards south
east and southern side.
Old City Kasur
Due to the ravages of time it is difficult to

find as when it was dwelled, firstly. And
who had given it the name as KASUR.

mounds. Archiving reveals the factual
position that this city Kasur is dwelled
and ruin time and again. On the
surrounding of it there is a large Jungle
called Lakhi Jungle that goes to the
Dipalpur on the river bank.
Hindus says that Kasur was formed by
the son of Raja Kish Ram Chander G.
The name of the son of Raja Ram
Chander and Sitta Bibi was Kashu, (may
be spelled as Kasu, Qasu or Kush) on
whose name this city is called Kasur and

The renowned historian Professor Shujaa

city of Lahore, so that the Punjab to be
saved from the Sikhs. And at that time
Nazam Ul Din Khan was the only Muslim
personality who could caused the
renaissance of Islamic culture there and
had he successful, there would be a sure
shot establishment of an Islamic province
west Pakistan in 1799 and eventually
Ranjeet Singh could never be successful
to become ruler of Lahore. And never
found an opportunity to play with the
fate of Muslims. But unfortunately some
Muslims themselves caused saboteurs
the plans. Ranjeet Singh got services of 2
influential Muslims and sent Qazi Khan
and Qazi Abdul Rehman Ram Nagri on a
secret mission to Lahore. They met some
influential people named:
Mian Jan Muhammad
Mian Muhammad Ashiq

also pledged to be faithful to Ranjeet
Singh forever. (Tareikh e Punjab page

The renowned writer Ray Kanhaya Lal
also confirmed the above statement as he
wrote that the Muslims of Lahore
themselves offered to Ranjeet Singh to
occupy the city and an Arian wealthy
man Mehr Mohkam Din of Nawa Kot had
opened the Lohari Gate and caused the
entrance of Ranjeet Singh Army into the
city. For these services he was awarded
with the title of BABA by Ranjeet Singh.

Mutiny 1857 (Independence War)
The mutiny of 1857 was the war for

getting freedom and independence from

India wanted to be remain under the
Mughal Government. Hardly there would
be an example that after centuries of rule
as

System and they fight in their favour and
against the British Rulers. Why they

exemplary situation of protection of life
and property in the whole region under
Mughal reign as depicted in an excerpt
from Lord Macaulays address to the

Geniuses of Kasur
by
British Parliament on dated 2nd day of

February, 1835:
"I have travelled across the length and
breadth of India and I have not seen one
person who is a beggar, who is a thief.
Such wealth I have seen in this country,
such high moral values, people of such
calibre, that I do not think we would ever
conquer this country, unless we break
the very backbone of this nation, which
is her spiritual and cultural heritage,
and, therefore, I propose that we replace
her old and ancient education system,
her culture, for if the Indians think that
all that is foreign and English is good and
greater than their own, they will lose
their self-esteem, their native self-culture
and they will become what we want
them, a truly dominated nation." (Lord
Macaulay on 02-02- 1835)
Kasuris Were Against the British Rule
The British had deprived Nawab JamalUd-Din Khan Kasuri Hassan Zai from his
estate Mamdot and after forfeiting it,
annexed it to Ferozpur. Kasuris were at
the peak of hate against the British, on
such step. However the British re allotted
the said Mamdot estate to Nawab JalalUd-Din Khan.
An important Kasuri figure Muhammad
Husain Khan Batikzai, the real uncle of
Pir Ibrahim Khan who was key position
holder in the court of King Bahadur Shah
Zafar: enforced to appear as ocular
witness and got record the evidence
against the King. He refused; the British
went against him and expelled him from
the service of the court as well as
forfeited his Estate (Jagir).

Kasuris Refused to Fight against Turks
In the World War I, the Military Battalion

of Kasuris had refused to fight against
the Turks and all they were undergone
the court marshal. Their services were
dismissed, privileged retrenched, and
Estates (Jagir) were forfeited. Thus, they
were constrained to live unemployed and
impoverished one.
Protest in Kasur against the British Rulers
Against the Rowalt act, a protest

procession was held at JALIAN WALA
BAAGH Amritsar In 1919 AD where
General O Dyer positioned his troops and
opened the fire and killed hundreds of
people brutally. Against the incident the
people of Kasur protested under the
leadership of Doulat Khan of KOT Murad
Khan and Jamal-Ud-Din Khan of Kot
Piran. They demonstrated against the
imperialism of the British. They had set
on fire the Official Buildings, Railway
Stations and Post Offices. At that
Incident Hundreds of Muslims Kasuri
were killed on Spot by the British Army.
Doulat Khan was hanged under Martial
Law in Lahore jail on 17 may 1919. Haji
Khan and Jamal-Ud-Din Khan were also
awarded with death sentences. Likewise
many other Kasuris were sentenced
Imprisonment for Life.
In those severe circumstances, the
Kasuris had not left their moral aspects
and they extended all ethics and etiquette
to providing protection many English
families, their ladies and children. For
which they were garnished with many
awards from the British Government.
