History of Kallar Kahar

Leading personalities

Kallar Kahar is the home to Awans, except the village of Chak Misri. Chak Misri is inhabited by Hashmites (Hashmi Sadats), the descendants of Bahauddin Zakriya Multani, who migrated from Khwarezm with Mehmood Ghaznavi. Ghaznavi gifted them the kingdom of Multan.

The Pirs of Chak Misri are closely related to the Pirs of Pail Piran, Pir Da Khara, Karuli Pir and Bhera Sharif. Late Pir Fazal Shah, who was the Raees-e-Azam of Wanhar, was awarded the title of Khan Sahab by the then British government. He was also the Zaildar (chief) of Wanhar. More than 22 villages were under his jurisdiction
