The history of Faisalabad (former Lyallpur) will not complete unless we trace the brief history of heroic struggle carried out by the “KHARRALS” of Jhamra, under the dynamic leadership of Rai Ahmed Khan Shahid who fought several successful battles in spite of many odds.

Finally he gave his life while fighting against the British forces in the Giahkowaree jangle in Shahiwal district. Rai Ahmed Khan was great leader capable of invoking allegiance from all major tribes of the region. He failed to out the British authority from this part of country due to fact that his man lacked modern weapon and the support of artillery.
