Leading Personalities
Kallar Kahar is the home to Awans, except the village of Chak Misri. Chak Misri is inhabited by Hashmites (Hashmi Sadats), the descendants of Bahauddin Zakriya Multani, who migrated from Khwarezm with Mehmood Ghaznavi. Ghaznavi gifted them the kingdom of Multan.
The Pirs of Chak Misri are closely related to the Pirs of Pail Piran, Pir Da Khara, Karuli Pir and Bhera Sharif. Late Pir Fazal Shah, who was the Raees-e-Azam of Wanhar, was awarded the title of Khan Sahab by the then British government. He was also the Zaildar (chief) of Wanhar. More than 22 villages were under his jurisdiction.

Famous quotes containing the word leading:
“It is sometimes called the City of Magnificent Distances, but it might with greater propriety be termed the City of Magnificent Intentions.... Spacious avenues, that begin in nothing, and lead nowhere; streets, mile-long, that only want houses, roads, and inhabitants; public buildings that need but a public to be complete; and ornaments of great thoroughfares, which only lack great thoroughfares to ornament—are its leading features.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
