Moving from Shekhupura to North-west ( i guess my directions are right ) you would reach a previously less-known, but after the completion of Motorway M2 a well known town.

Pindi Bhatiyaan

The town got his name from a legendary Punjabi Hero ‘Dulla Bhatti’](Dulla Bhatti - Wikipedia), can be loosely called as local version of Robin-hood. According the legends (Ab)dullah Bhatti lived in the jungles surrounding the areas of Gujrawnala , khariyaan etc during the reign of Mughal Emperer ‘Akbar’, He belonged to Rajpoot clan known for its bravery and rebellion. He used to challange the authority often and was adored by common folks as he used to help them with his looted booty, and stuff.

What made him popular so much that a festival is celebrated in his name in Indian punjab by the name of ‘Lohri’](http://www.lohrifestival.org/dulha-bhatti.html)
is an interesting stroy.
