Rai Bhoe Bhatti

Rai Bhoe Bhatti was the founder of Nankana Sahib, formerly known as Rai-Bhoi-Di-Talwandi, a city in the province of Punjab.[1]

During the Muslim invasions of Punjab in the 14th century, the region was parcelled out to Muslim warrior chiefs in exchange for peace by the sovereigns of the Delhi Sultanate. One of these chiefs was Rai Bhoi Bhatti, a Muslim Rajput of the Bhatti tribe.[2]
