Area of the Village

Total area of the village is about 48 squares that is about 1200 acres in which no one in the village contain more than 40 acres so no one is a big fish but it is almost equally distributed among prominent families.

Brief History

Village Wara chamian has very old History since Raja Ranjeet Singh Government in Punjab. In 1130 A.D Char Gujjar Tribes were resident of old Wara, called Wara Gujran. With the passage of time some of them were died while remaining travelled back to their native village Charanwala present in District Gujrat. So there land was captured by SAHNA who was a landlord of the area. After some time in 1470A.D Sahna distributed all his property in his sons known as Khanana, Chhimon, Majhi and Hassan. A branch from Majhi tribes called Chami, A person known as SAIDA Chami always quarreled with other his tribe personals. So Mr. Qutab with his brother FATEH DIN and Nephews JHANDA, MEHR and GHOR opted self migration towards their Western Land called AHLI GUJRAN (AHLI means Graveyard of Gujjar Tribes) and they captured a major part of land form SAIDA. In this way major caste Chami became first resident of wara Chamian. As the old people called WARA to the YARD surrounded by wood for cattle and the caste of those people was Chami so, this village was known as WARA CHAMIAN. At that time mostly robbers came and robbed and murderd people, they felt unsafe themself and called for help to their older brother Grand father of BHOCHARS from Manchar, Chathian and MR Mishry Khan SAHI from MALOWAL village, a part of current Dhok Kasib. Mr FATEH DIN, the founder of the village married his daughter with Mishry Khan SAHI. In this way Sahi were second resident of the village. Kashim Khan ,a son of Mishry Khan was married in Khanna village. He had five sons MR WAZIR KHAN, PIR KHAN, AMEER, MUHAMMAD SULTAN, KHAN, and KAMEER KHAN. MR WAZIR KHAN SAHI was the first literate person of the village. He became PATWARI and was the most powerful and nice person of his age in the village. He helped all his brothers ,he bought land from different villages and empowered all his family that is why now a days SAHI have land at second number in the village .

Another SAHI Brother known as BHELK KAY was migrated from BAGRIANWALA near DINGA in district GUJRAT. WARRAICH came  from GACHARA village  in present district Gujrat. Mr IMAM Bakhash Kashmiri was the first watchman of the village uptill now this rank is till lying in his generation.

When in 1980 A.D Main road was being completed with tarkool  Mr Nazir Ahmd Sahi was resident on this stop. All his tribe was living near to this stop for thee eras. also he was a welfare mind person  so he asked  Highways Authorities to keep the name SAHI  MORE of this point .Later on the robbers became habitant to kill people on the LOWER JEHLUM CANNAL southern  bank so he requested to police officer to send some policemen at this bank.In June1992 an incident increased importance of this check post when S.H.O Shabbir Khan Niazi was murdered with his constable on the spot by robbers. So higher authorities realized to establish a permanent check post at this point. Now this check post has been refurbished  for Patrolling Police.

Problems of the Villages People

As the Village is small so basic facilities are absent  No hospital, No Markets, No college for Boys or Girls therefore peoples especially females have to face many difficulties in order to fulfill their daily or occasional necessities. Main problems of the village are as under.

Wastewater Removal System

The most prominent problem of the village is the removal of wastewater of homes and rain the main obstacle in this way is Lower Jehlum Canal (it cuts the village body from villagers own land) and land of other villages around this village. In the absence of sewerage system some people of the village has to face problems like accumulation of rain water in front of their houses, which is a common source of many diseases like MALARIA,CHOLERA and SCABIES etc.

Flood in River Jehlum

As the land of village is located almost at the bank of River so second important problem of the village is Flood in the River Jehlum although this flood does not come in the village but in the lands of villagers. The most severe incident occurred in 1992 when it caused large scale destruction of crops and cattles. Unfortunately it had come suddenly at night when most of villagers were at their homes almost 1.5 Km away from their livelihood before sleep they didn’t know that in the morning they will loss all their crops and some of their cattles. Such incidents occur periodically.

Problems of the Poor People

People of the village are not very rich nor very poor. Except few houses all other can earn their livelihood easily those who are poor they are helped by the other village people in the form of Fitrana or other things in the name of God so fortunately every one is able to eat honorably.

Educational Problems Faced by Girls

This is another main problem faced by students especially by Girls as there is no institute after F.A (Inter) degree so the girls have to face great hurdle in their career so most of them stop their education because villagers does not allow their girls to go away from their homes, so most of the girls are under-inter if other want to carry on their education they do so either Privately through Punjab University or  through Allama Iqbal Open University Islamabad.

Crime rate in the Village

As it is already mentioned that most of the reports in Thana Malakwal belong to this village in which most are to pull legs or arms of the opposing party but the steeling of cattles is an important problem faced by villagers especially JUTT families such Thieves does not belong to this village but to nearby villages whom names are not good to mention, in this village few black sheeps in young generation are also going on wrong path.

Suggestions

  1. The problem of wastewater removal can be resolved by passing sewerage pipes under the lower jehlum canal towards villagers own land (i.e Baela).
  2. The problem of medical facilities can be resolved by arranging one MBBS doctor to whom in addition to his own fees villagers should pay some salary by collecting fund from the village.
  3. Flood is a natural thing but the loss can be reduced by alarming the people about danger of the flood in advance by the Government.
  4. Difference of JUTTS and other castes can be reduced by educating people and creating awareness of our religion.
  5. Education problems of girls can be resolved by constructing an institute upto master level at least in arts subjects in this or any of the neighboring villages.

MAYGOD BLESS THIS VILLAGE(Ameen)

Means Of Earning

Majority of the peoples earn their livelihood through agriculture. Few peoples are in Government services and among them most are in Teaching, Health and ARMY. Now there is trend among the youth to go abroad that why many peoples of the village are found in France, Spain, Greece, Italy, Kuwait, Saudi-Arabia, Muscat, Dubai, USA, Norway, Greek, South Africa, etc. in search of their earning.

Way of living

Peoples of the village live a simple life. They have very friendly behavior. Peoples are very much hostile, peaceful and sincere. It very sad that a few groups are against each other and we pray for their being peaceful among each other. People of the village go to their lands to care their cattle and crops and come back in the evening so they have a very busy life. Young boys play Cricket, Volly Ball, Foot ball, Kabaddee, or play cards in their extra time.

But very few still play Gullee Danda, But this play is converting to Cricket with time, we see that even a child of very poor family like to have a small bat and a ball instwead of gullee danda as we compare the attitudes of our new generation. But the old child play BUNTAY still in practice we see that our primary school kids have Buntas in their pockets and when they return from school they gather in mohallah side grounds and play even their parents do not like that game. The School kids bear punishment from their parents but they always keep Buntas in their pockets any way.

In evening, Old and young people gather in Open Places and Daras  for Gup Shup(Talking Talking) and also smoke HUQQA, it gives them a refreshment after a long time doing hard work in their lands. After Gup Shup they relaxed for the next day work. In this way they also discuss their matters to each other and also know about their problems and they urge each other to solve the issues collectively.

Bazars And Markets

On the main road, that passes through Sanda, there are Shops and General Stores on Both sides of road, Karyana, Vegetables and Fruit, General stores, hosery, cloth merchants, Hotel, Sweet shop, shoe stores, electrical stores are available here. Household basically are available here but for more shopping people go to near town Miana Gondal and Head Faqiryan for buying their daily household needs.

Problems of the Village

Here main problem is the Road that demands its Repairing for a long time Before but no body put his attention to this typical problem. Another issue is the Lack of Educational institution.

Specially Problem for girls, to travel to far city for Middle, Secondary and Higher Secondary Education.

Wastewater Removal System

In rainy season people also face the problem of the dirty water stands around the village for long time because of non availability of good sewerage water system, However a sewerage water flow Chanel passes in the west of the village, but when its clay is not cleaned in time, water does not flow and overflood to the near locality. This causes the generation of Mosqitoos, and then causes various fatal diseases.

Health Facilities:

There is only one private clinic in the village with limited resources. Hospital is at least 25 km away where one could get diagnostic facility and proper medical treatment.  There had been several deaths only because of scarcity of resources available to this area.

There are 4 Mosques in my village, one is Jamia Mosque where Jumma prayer is also offered. There is also one Imam Bargha & 3 Mazars in the village.

What is Gondal:

Gondal is one of the main elite Jat clans living in Punjab, Pakistan. They are believed to have accepted Islam on the inducement of famous Sufi poet Baba Farid and were instructed by him to stay in the area between the Chenab River Jhelum River which now forms Mandi Bahauddin, and Sargodha District. They are approximately over half a million in population and are mainly living in Mandi Bahauddin,Malakwal, Kolowal, Phalia,(Rerka Bala) (Ajjowal) Kot Momin, Midh Ranjha, Bhalwal Tehsils Geven Gondal (30km away from Sargodha). The majority is associated with the profession of agriculture but a number of them are also in civil services, such as police, Education and judiciary in Pakistan. Quite a lot of them are also working abroad mainly in the United States, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Italy, Spain, France, South Africa and the United Kingdom.

It is widely accepted in Punjab that Gondal’s have amassed great fortunes through their strict tolerance of agricultural expertise. It is therefore not surprising that they are now and always have been regarded as the Elite Senior Jats’ earning the status of Powerful Landlords of Pakistan. Many sources claim that as many as 37% of Pakistan’s Powerful & Secretive Inter-Services Intelligence ISI members of staff come from this clan.

Main Crops:

Famous crops of village are Wheat & Rice. But now a days some landlords are also cultivating Potatoes (Ch. Javid Gondal is a guy who has completed M.com but instead of doing job he prefer to work on his own land & make experiment to cultivate Potatoes on his land and his experiment was successful and now lot of people are cultivating potatoes also). Other main crops are as follow.

  • Sugar Can
  • Cotton
  • Potatoes
  • Maize
  • Tobacco

Media and Communication:

By the passage of time communication through Letters is decreased & Phone & Email has taken its place. So main mean of communication in my village is Phone. Through this people can keep in touch with their loved ones in other cities and abroad. TV/ Radio is main media through which people can get news about their beloved country & other world.

Organizations / Group in the village
