Question

D2. Why was Rai Bular angry and to whom?​

Answer 1

Rai Bular, (died c. 1515)[citation needed] was a Muslim Rajput noble of the Bhatti clan during the latter half of the 15th century.

He inherited the position as zamindar (lord) of Talwandi from his father Rai Bhoi.[1] Rai Bular and Rai Bhoi had converted from Hinduism to Islam.[2]

Although a Muslim, Rai was inspired by the Sikh Guru Nanak and donated half of his land - over 18,500 acres of agricultural land. He was among the first few people who viewed Nanak as someone who was specially gifted by God. The land he donated is now under the control of Evacuee Trust Property Board of Pakistan.[3]

Bular's descendants, the Rai family of Bhattis, have continued to play an active role in the area through to the 21st century.[3]
