Jati Umra (Amritsar)
History
Jati Umra is notable for being the ancestral village of Sharif family of Pakistan, also including the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif. Pakistan's well-known businessman, Muhammad Sharif, the co-founder of Ittefaq Group and founder of Sharif Group, belonged to Jati Umra. He left India and moved to Pakistan in 1947. Two of his three sons, Nawaz and Shehbaz later became the Prime Ministers of Pakistan. In December 2013, the then Chief Minister of Punjab, Shehbaz Sharif, during his visit to India, went to the grave of his great-grandfather Mian Mohammad Baksh at the village and offered a holy sheet. Mian Muhammad Sharif, the former head of Sharif family, had lived in Indian Jati Umra before migrating to Lahore in 1947.
