Zafarwal

Zafarwal is a town situated in the Sialkot District of Punjab, Pakistan 70 km away from Jammu and Kashmir. It was originally a part of Kashmir under rule of Ranjit Deo Singh. It was then transferred to Ahmad Shah Durrani as a gift. It stayed as a part of Kashmir until 1947. Lord Mountbatten included Zafarwal into West Punjab which would be transferred to Pakistan. This caused many Hindus to leave the land and migrate to Gurdaspur and Amritsar.
