Few objects, places are popular due to some people… but here the reverse is true. An eastern delicacy called ‘BaqarKhani’ must have got its name from the guy who invented the reciepe. Baqar Khan ?
There are other things popular because of inventor or innovators.
For instance, moti choor laddo !
Laddo a traditional indian sweet was made from combining tiny round stuff (size of grain/rice/black peper ) making a big ball ( almost the size of a tennis ball ) but then some sweet maker reduced the size of that stuff (like sesame seeds) and called it ‘moti choor’ and it became very popular.
Meyani Sahab graveyard is biggest graveyard of lahore (maybe pakistan) Many famous personalities are burried there , like Ghazi ilm deen shaheed, captain sever shaheed , Sadat Hasan Mantoo etc. The graveyard must have got its name from some famous holy man named ‘meyani sahab’. But with time people have remembered the name of place but personality is somewhat forgoten.
