Some cities are linked with people lived.
like they say ‘Ranjha takht hazaare da’ aur ‘ni Sassi! tera lutya shehr Bhanbhor’.
In this place, lets share famous people (characters) of a city / place and see what happened to those cities and places.
Re: The cities and places they lived
Takht Hazara - The birth place of Ranjha
Its a town in Sargodha District on banks of river Chenab.
This is what wikipedia tells. seems the city lost its prominence over the period. While you google, you will come across some news related to curfew and conflict with ahmadis 
Re: The cities and places they lived
ye to history ka thread ni hy 
Re: The cities and places they lived
It is suited for both, but as the link is with characters in folklore, therefore, I put it here.
Re: The cities and places they lived
Moving towards ‘Ranjha Ranjha kar di main aap hi Ranjha hui’ Mai Heer, she lived in Jhang.. Jhang which is now in news for Lashkar e Jhangwi (Lej) most of the times.
**The first city of Jhang was built in 1288 by Rai Sial with the advice of Hazrat Shah Jalal Bukhari (his peer). The first ruler of Jhang was Mal Khan in 1462. Sial tribe ruled this city for 360 years and the last ruler of the Sial Tribe was Ahmad Khan from 1812 to 1822 and then Sikh took over. And from the rule of the Sikh, Jhang was taken over by the British. **(so Siyal got prominence in real history of the area. Heer was also a Sial :hmmm:).
The dress of the locals comprises a Majhla, a Kurta or Chola, a Chadar and a Turban or Pugri. It is completed by shoes, Chappli or Kherri. The women also wear Majhla (Lungi) besides Chola and Dopatta but many women wear Shalwar Qameez. The people live in the plains and therefore are plain and straight-forward people - broad minded, hospitable and progressive. Jhang is the centre of a purely agricultural based feudalistic society. Agriculture is the chief source of income and employment in Jhang. About 85% of the Jhang’s cultivable land is irrigated. Wheat and cotton are the principal crops. Other crops grown include rice, sugarcane, corn (maize), oilseeds, fruits, and vegetables. Livestock and poultry are also raised in large numbers in district Jhang.
Jhang is characterised by extreme climate - the temperature is generally hot, with marked variations between summer and winter. In the plain the mean June temperature is 95 F (35 C), while the mean January temperature is 55 F (12 C). The monsoon reaches the area exhausted and therefore the rainfall is quite meager. There is also occasional rain during the winters. The average annual rainfall is 7-10 inches (180 mm) in district Jhang. Occasionally there are dust storms. The summer may be somehow discomforting, but for the greater part of the year the climate is ideal and invigorating. The best part of the year is from the middle of February to the middle of April, which is the spring in the Jhang. It is neither cold nor hot but simply pleasant and enjoyable. The entire district-side becomes a vast stretch of greenery. The mustard fields are covered with yellow flowers, trees put on new leaves, fruits begin to blossom and there are flowers every where. This is also the time for several spring festivals, including Jhang Committee Show. (Romance in air :wub: )
Jhang is connected by road or railway to some main cities of the country, but not any air service is provided by government yet.

Some people were born somewhere but they are considered famous due to others like Allama Iqbal (Sialkot) and Hazarat Ali Hajvery (Ghazni) and both are now considered to be part of Lahore's legacy.
