Brief History:
Village Wara chamian has very old History since Raja Ranjeet Singh Government in Punjab.
In 1130 A.D Char Gujar 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 1470 A.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 personnel’s. So Mr. Qutab with his brother FATEH DIN and Nephews Jhanda, Meher and Gohar 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 cattles and the caste of those people was Chami so, this village was known as WaraChamian. At that time mostly robbers came and robbed and murdered 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 litrated 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’s have land at second number in the village .
Another SAHI Brothery 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 Ahmad 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 Village’s 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 Jhelum 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 Jhelum
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 Jhelum 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:
The problem of wastewater removal can be resolved by passing sewerage pipes under the lower Jhelum canal towards villager’s own land(i.e Baela).
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.
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.
Difference of JUTTS and other castes can be reduced by educating people and creating awareness of our religion.
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.

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 Gondals 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.

Busal also written as Bosaal بوسال is one of the most prominent and populous villages in Mandi Baha-ud-din district. Exquisite mosques constructed with religious fervor, modern style and traditionally built homes, tumultuous and not well maintained road network, an excellent but not well kept network of canals & irrigation channels and lush green farming lands are most prominent features of this enormous village.
Location & Mohallas:
Busal is located 4.5 km off Gujrat-Sargodha road, south of Gojra, and is nearly 29 km from Mandi Baha-ud-din city. Malakwal, the Tehsil headquarter is 25 km north of Bosal. Geographically its location is 32°22’10”N and 73°18’6”E. Basically Bosal consists of seven randomly located settlements namely Sukkha [سکھا], Masoor [مصور], Nuryana [نریانہ], Jand [جنڈ], Nakkaywala [نکے والا], Chhanni Hashim [چھنی ہاشم] and Ghumnana [گھمنانہ]. Sukkha & Masoor, centrally located most populous twin settlements, are fulcrum of all cultural, financial, educational and political activities for not only the people of Busal but also for a number of small neighboring villages. Bosal is surrounded by Gojra in the north, Bhojowal and Nain Ranjha in the east, Rerka Bala and Chak-44 in the south and Bar Musa in the west.
History:
It is not exactly known as when the first settlements of Busal came into existence but the elders of the village tell that name of the founder was BUSAL who lived here during the reign of Mughal Emperor Jalal-ud-Din Muhammad Akbarand had relations with the Emperor. The Emperor had bestowed him a large estate called Sooba Busal. Mr. Busal had three sons named Sukkha, Masoor & Noor and three main settlements are named behind them.
Irrigation department rest house also known as bungalow was built outside busal in 1915 and a police chowki was established in Busal in 1935. Canal and irrigation channels system was built between 1910 and 1944. Welcome to Busal, the Gemstone of Distt. M.B. Din. Police Chowki Busal- established in 1935. Patwar Khana is one of the oldest buildings and among very few pre-partition buildings left.
Busal has a huge population growing at immensely high rate. Due to construction of roads, availability of telephone service and establishment of new schools, the people from small neighboring villages have also migrated to Busal. The number of registered voters in Busal is just below 16,000. This indicates that total population is well above 35,000.
More than 99 % of the people of Busal belong to Aryan race with a small minority of Dravidians. The Aryan people are dominant in almost all spheres of life while Dravidians who were in lower castes during the epoch of Hindu dominance are still living mostly below poverty line and are devoid of education and other amenities of life.
It is not exactly known as to when Islam came to this region but majority of the people practiced Islam since long before the partition of British India in 1947.
Significant population of Hindus [Called Khatris] also lived in Busal before the partition that migrated to India in 1947. They were mostly traders and dominated entire business and economy of the area. After partition, they were replaced by Muslims mostly belonging to Rajpoot dynasty, also Aryans, who migrated from Karnal district of East Punjab [now a district in Haryana, India]. Local people called them Mahajir, a word closely meaning the emigrants. These people have adopted a variety of professions from farming to business and have now become an integral part of the local population.
The people of Aryan race are also further divided into landowner and worker class. Although very few families among the landowner class of Busal own large lands, nonetheless this class is considered to be the most respected because the economy largely depends on agriculture. The worker class forms the people belonging to other professions.
A small minority of Pathans, mostly emigrants from Afghanistan after Soviet invasion has also settled in and around Busal. A small community of traditionally nomadic people also settled in suburban areas of Busal are called Deendars [The Faithful] because they have also converted to Islam.
The class system and hegemony of landowners is slowly getting weaker with increase in literacy rate better awareness about human rights.
Nature Of The People
Busal has been notorious in the past as the village of thieves and land of great rivalries mainly due to lack of education. Strong grip of feudal lords, who were against education and awareness, was the chief factor behind ignorance. Establishment of Government Middle School Busal was the first step towards change to a civilized and educated society and over a period of few decades, the change was visible.
Now nurturing rivalries and committing crimes is no more a matter of pride. Now people are more civilized, educated, hospitable and aware of their own and other peoples’ rights.
Miseries of Dravidians:
The low caste people in Hinduism [Dravidians], after conversion to Islam are called Musalli [مصلی];Muslim Sheikh is a euphemism for Musalli. People belonging tothis community mostly work like slaves under landowners (doing all sorts of miserable jobs) or at brick kilns, making their living by casting raw bricks from mud. Majority of them are buried under the heavy burden of immense debts due to land & kiln-owners and there seems no end to this vicious & destitute lifestyle worsened by debts for many generations still to come. However few members of this community being literate are being well aware of their human rights are leading a better life.
Religion:
Almost the entire population of Busal is Muslim out of which 10 ~12 % people are Shia Muslims while others are Sunnis. Religious devotion and practice varies from family to family, however religion plays very important role the lives of people.
Languages:
Punjabi [with a little rough accent] is the language predominantly spoken by the people of Busal. Rajpoot community speaks their native language Rahngri [ﻯﮍﮔﻧﻫﺍﺮ], a language closely resembling of Hindi / Urdu with little distortion in accent. Urdu is also spoken and understood by a large majority.
Economy:
Economy largely depends on agriculture and more than fifty percent of the people of Busal are related to agriculture. Busal has one of the most fertile lands in Pakistan and farmers are well-off due to excellent production of cash crops like sugarcane, orange, paddy, cotton and wheat.
Many people have joined government and private services and a large number of young people are living and working abroad in Gulf States, USA, Australia and Europe.
Education:
Although the literacy rate of Busal is very low by international standards, it is one of the highest in Mandi Baha-ud-din district. The literacy rate also varies from family to family. Some people of Busal hold doctorate degrees and hold global fame while a large majority has never even visited a school. The literacy rate among females is even low.
Government Higher Secondary School Busal (The Symbol of Pride for Busal)
Government Higher Secondary School Busal has made great contributions in spreading the light of knowledge among Busalians. It is one the best and most respected institutes of preliminary education in the entire tehsil Malikwal. Over the years, it has produced many brilliant students who after receiving higher education are working at respectable positions not only in Pakistan but in many foreign countries as well.
The School was established in 1905 offering education up to primary level only. In 1951, with the efforts of social workers like Hakeem Ghulam Ali (late), the school was promoted to middle level. Ch. Batti Khan Busal (May Allah bless his Soul), a venerated landowner, donated approximately 33 kanals of land for the project. In 1984, this school was upgraded to high school and two years later (in 1986) to intermediate level. The school has produced good results in the past and a number of boys won scholarships every year. In addition to this, sports and co-curricular activities were also promoted at school and school always produced good sportsmen and athletes. This was due to the sincere efforts, dedication and hard work of teachers /administrators like
Mr. Nazar Cheema
Mr. Atta Cheema
Mr. Muhammad Ashraf
Mr. Muhammad Aslam
Mr. Muhammad Anwar
Mr. M. Riaz Gondal
Saee Muhammad Kaddhar
Mr. Safdar Ranjha
Mr. Rao Kifayat
Mr. Muhammad Hafeez
Mr. Irshad Ahmed Luk
Mr. Khushi Muhammad
Mr. Nadir Ali
Mr. Ashiq Shah.
Presently around 700 students are enrolled in the school but shortage of teaching staff and lack of co-curricular activities have diluted the education standard of school.
Due to commercialization of education and lack of attention of the people of village and shortage of teaching staff, the standard and performance of the school have suffered badly in past few years and immediate remedial action is required to regain the standard of this institute which can undisputedly be termed as Symbol of Pride for Busal.

Medical Facilities:
Presently there are almost no proper medical facilities in Busal. Although few students of Busal have become qualified doctors but they are presently not doing practice in Busal due to which people have to go to Gojra or Mandi Baha-ud-din for medical treatment.
A basic health center manned with a medical technician and compounder had been set-up by Punjab Govt in Busal beside higher secondary school. However it stopped functioning since early 1990s due to unknown reasons. Due to efforts of the social workers of the village, govt has initiated the project of its reconstruction and it is hoped that a doctor will be appointed here in near future.

Shrines in Busal
Syed Masoom Ali Shah
Mian Muhammad Panah was a sufi saint during British Raj. There are hundreds of his devotees not only in Busal but also in many nearby villages.
A story is associated to him that during British Raj, a man was being crucified (for some crime) outside the village when Mian sb came grazing his camels. He requested the executioners to forgive the accused but they misbehaved with the Mian sb. At this Mian sb became furious and prayed to Allah Almighty that no resident of this village to be executed for death sentence. Neither that man nor any body else from Busal has been executed ever since; although some murderers have died in the jail before execution.

Recreational Places Near Busal
Despite of the fact that Busal is a large village, there is no recreational spot or playground for children in or around it. Children usually use School ground and graveyard for playing cricket.
A small canal passes from east of the village and a bit larger from west side. There used to be a time when people especially young boys used to do swimming in these canals but now thanks to the population of villages located upstream of Busal, these canals are highly polluted and sport of swimming has also disappeared.
A rest house of irrigation department is also located approximately 2 km from Busal Masoor and Sukha. Once it used to be well maintained and a number of varieties of flowers and trees rendered it a splendid look and it also served as a large bird sanctuary. However presently it is nothing more than a depiction of great neglect.
Built by irrigation department in 1915 during British Raj, Busal Irrigation rest house or Bangla Busal was a splendid looking building with a glory no less than an imperial palace. A large variety of flora and numerous species of tweeting birds made it a piece of heaven on earth. But due to lack of interest of the irrigation department and damage caused by the stealth of precious building material by employees and people of the village, this fantastic example of classical architecture has turned into ruins and requires immediate attention of irrigation authorities for preservation of this piece of heritage.
There is a mangrove forest, 10 km North West of Busal, called Daffar forest. Army remount depot Mona located near Head Faqirian is also approximately 20 km from Busal. Its area is 25 square km. Kallar Kahar hill station is little above two hours drive from Busal but people seldom visit this place.
