History[]

In the first century, Romano-Jewish historian Josephus asserted that Ham (son of Noah) and his descendants had populated parts of Asia. In 1891, Hāfiz Shams ad-Dīn of Gulyana claimed that he had a dream in which he was informed the location of Ham's grave, who died at the age of 536. He subsequently established the present tomb in Gharibwal which is 78-foot long. However, many historians have dismissed this as mere rumour and unsupported.^[1][2]

Notable people include Waqas Zafar , Sharjeel Faisal , Aakash Zafar ,Rana Muhammad Naeem, Bilal Aziz, Ahsan Turab and also Dr. Abdul Quddoos, who is running SAHARA Medical College Narowal, and own Dragle Pharma Lahore.

The village has a plenty of cultivable land, but this land is affected by salinity. People are hardworking, and very much loyal to Pakistan, yet they are deprived of basic necessities of life, like drinking water, natural gas, roads and medical facilities.^[3]
