Mr. Khizar i need to know one thing, how khattars were part of the great General Tariq Bin Zayads army, as per my knowledge Tariq bin zayad never visited punjab all through his life nor had he any sect of his army comprised of punjabi soldiers, i find more logic in the stance of Mr. Talawat bokhari that the Khattars are the illigitimate breed of the greek army that arrive in the sub continent, u see the features of khattars neither resemble the punjabis nor with the pathans, they are their own type, and we see certain complexities in thier chracters too. u will agree with me, that a khattar can in no case be brave, he always prefer to be a coward , if u dont agree than y not even a single khattar estopped any of the invader approaching india from afghanistan?? as per my knowledge attock and khattars come in between of kabul and lahore, what do u say? |

salam 2 all, according to mi knowledge kahttars of attock are basically from tribes area of NWFP, they were actually Khattaks nd by religion they were sikh that is Y they write SARDAR with their names, by the spelling mistake of a british they were converted khattars frm khattaks,
However what so ever they are, they were the traitors(ghaddar) of muslims nd loyal(wafadar) to their masters(BRITISH).nd as a result of their loyality to them they obtained intrests(mafadat) in shape of thousands kanals lands, govt services, political designstions frm BRITISH.
Respected shah sahab, U nd other people like u hav no such quantity of lands, Y? |

Thank you Bokhari Sb for your kind comment about me and Khattars.
If I'm not at fault, your brother Ijaz Bokhari Sb was chairman Attock Distt Council during my studies at Govt. college Attock. He was a very nice gentleman and did a lot of developments in Attock during his tenure.
You are right Kaleem Sb was from Naraa. You should read my article about Kaleem Sb in Urdu poetry section of Attock News.com and please write down any memories, if you have about Kaleem Sb.
I highly recommend you Sardar Shaukat's book, it will not only tell you story of Khattars but will also answer many of your questions about making of Pakistan.
I did not include in my comment and Sardar Shaukat also did'nt say either that Khattars had been moving around the world only for religious reason. It was their nature part 'azad munsh' and part 'hukmarani ka nasha' that was their drive force according to my point of view.

Khttars of Atak - Who they are?
Thank you dear Khizer for your kind response, but excuse me your story about the Khattars seems rather far-fetched. It in fact raised more questions than it answered. I would however try to get the book of Shoukat Hayat and read it before making further comments on the subject. I have a great respect for Shoukat Hayat (I wonder if he is still alive), but the Khattar intellectuals with whom I have been in touch as a student activist were Tariq Ali and his mother Tahira Mazhar Ali. I also know Prof. Kalim Sahib if he is the one from Naara. One thing that I found common in all of them is that they, as you say, are 'azaad munsh' which raises doubts about their being religiously inspired and having been engaged in Islamic 'jehad' taking them all the way from Spain to
Atak, as you claim.

dear sir i am interested in gathering knowledge about Khattar tribe, it may be of interest for u people, that this particular tribe i.e. the Khattars could only be found in Attock , not any other part of either punjab or elsewhere, will any body care to help me in digging its origin out? will be waiting for ur kindness! |
