The Chattha State was a Punjabi Muslim state in the Rechna Doab founded by Nur Muhammad Chattha.[1][2] The stronghold of Chatthas was Rasulnagar[3] and the principality was passed down to Pir Muhammad Chattha[4] and ended with Jan Muhammad Chattha.[5]
The Chatthas had a particular rivalry with the Sukerchakia Misl that lasted for over 40 years and 3-4 generations of hereditary enmity.[3] This rivalry was immortalized in the Punjabi war ballad known as Chatthian di Vaar.[6]
