Village of [Thatta]
Village of Thatta has been one of the most important villages of the District. It is believed to have been founded by Sher Shah Suri, while some believe that it was founded much earlier, in the time of Alexander's invasion. The Khattar family of this village has played a very important role in the progress of the country and the region.[2][3]
Prominent personalities of this village include:
- Sardar Lal Khan, known for his courage and bravery against the Bristish Raj and Sikhs. He fought many wars against them and never accepted their government. He was offered a lot of property, but declined; rather, he lost a lot of his own property as a Freedom Fighter and political activist. Although British colonial rulers did bring some other people against him politically by rewarding them with big jageers, his influence never ended. His sons, Sardar Zakri Khan and Sardar Ghulam Khan, also worked hard in the political movement against British Raj.[4]
- Major General Javed Afzal, Brig Afzal's son, whose family served with the British Army.
- Brig. Afzal, political and social figure, father of Javed Afzal.
Current important personalities include:
- Sardar Saleem Khan, is a grandson of Sardar Lal Khan and son of Sardar Ghulam Khan, a social worker, political activist, and founder of various charity and philanthropic organizations, is currently Chairman of the Social Development Organization, one of the largest NGOs in the District.[5]
- Sardar Abdul Rashid Khan, elder brother of Sardar Saleem Khan, has played a very active role in the Judiciary. He is a well respected and learned person, who commands respect in the whole region, due to his humble and down to earth behaviour.[6]
- Cdr Abdul Qayyum Khan is also an important and widely respected personality. He also belongs to Village of Thatta and grandson of Sardar Lal Khan. He has been playing a very active social and political role since after his retirement from Pakistan Navy on completion of his meritorious service.[7]
