Tahir Khan Nahar

Tahir Khan Nahar (Urdu: طاہر خان ناہڑ), also known as ‘Sakhi’ (generous or liberal),[1] was an independent chief of Sitpur in Punjab in 15th century CE. In 1455, Bahlul Lodi gave a large treaty to his relative Islam Khan Lodhi,[2] who adopted the title of Nahar. Tahir Khan Nahar was the grandson of Islam Khan Nahar.[3] Tahir Khan Nahar is well-known for his tomb and mosque,[4] which he constructed in his lifetime in around 1530.[5] This site is included in cultural heritage sites in Muzaffargarh and protected by the Federal Government of Pakistan.[2]
