Abdullah Bhatti (popularly referred to as the "Son of Punjab" or "Robin Hood of Punjab", sometimes spelled Dullah Bhatti and also known as Rai Abdullah Bhatti) is a Punjabi folk hero who supposedly came from the Punjab region of medieval India and led a revolt against Mughal rule during the reign of the Mughal emperor Akbar.[1] He is entirely absent from the recorded history of the time, and the only evidence of his existence comes from Punjabi folk songs.[2]
