    As I was born in this village in May 1948, but left the village at the age of 9. Even though I still have agriculture land there and now and than visit as well. Can any one tell me more detailed history of this village. As what I have heard that even though the majority of resident of this village were Sandhu Jats. Were there any Muslim resident as well, and if yes than were there any Muslim Jats? Also was village Sarja Marja, and village Rakh Hardat Singh, part of Padhana? Did any one know about Sardar Sardool Singh? was he the last sarpunch of Padhana before partition took place?

    Dear Kuldeep, Nice to read your comments. even I myself was born in Padhana, but did my early education in Lahore, and than in the US, after graduating I bee settled in Sweden since 1967, and joined the Swedish Merchant Navy, where I retired as a Captain. But I still have immediate family members, as well as my Farmland there. I shall also be in Lahore during April, 2012, and will be good if we can meet. In the mean time I will instruct my brother as well as my office manager to get in touch with the revenue department to locate the old record (If possible), otherwise the only way will be to talk to elders of the village and get some info. My (NANKE) family from my mother side was from Narli (The village of Shaheed Baghat Singh JI) I wonder if you have any more detail about that village. My Nanaji was called by the name of Sardar KALA Singh, and he also served in the British Indian Army. You can even contact me on my direct e-mail address: jaffar@pakistancattle.com Regards Jaffar

    The Padhana Sardars (Chiefs) were Sandhu Jatts, from the early 1700s to 1947 they were in power and controlled much of this area around lahore which is located in the Majha Central Punjab before 1947 but now it is known as western Punjab.
