You might be aware of the Chootu gang if you are from Pakistan or Gulab gang if you are from India. Well, Dulla Bhatti had led the infamously popular gang in sharing the common Pakistan-India heritage. Dulla Bhatti (Rai Abdullah Khan Bhatti) was a legendary sixteenth-century outlaw from the Sandal Bar area of Punjab, between the Ravi and Chenab rivers, in what is now Pakistan. Dulla Bhatti is the real hero of Punjab and lives in our folklore. Baldev Singh wrote an excellent biographical novel on his life, “DhahwaN Dilli de Kingrey”. Prof Asad Saleem Shaikh has written a book “Dullay Di Baar” “دُلے دی بار” (The Land/State of Dullah) which is taken as an authentic document on Dullah Bhatti.
