Share Our Heritage with the World

Jangoo Khan Shar son of Muhammad Soleh Shar is stated to be the first in the line of hierarchy of the Sarders of Shar clan. He was known by his hospitality and social works. By profession he was a brick kiln owner and used to market the bricks in the area. The old brick masonry in the graveyard of Jangoo Khan. One of the bricks excavated from an old mausoleum contains the inscription as "Jangoo Khan bin Muhammad Solah Shar". His mausoleum is surrounded by lot of ancient to modern graves. Jangoo Khan's Mausoleum houses six graves which included Bajhi Khan Shar, Oladhi Khan Shar, Jan Muhammad Shar and Muhammad Khan Shar. The tombstone on the grave of Jan Muhammad son of Muhammad Soleh Shar bears the year as 1293 Hijri. Another old tomb within the vicinity is believed to be the one called Molai Dino Shar, alias Thangai Shar, who was related to Jangoo Khan and his tomb was also built by Jangoo Khan Shar himself. Ironically, the old tombs of Shar elders are at the verge of collapse and have been seriously threatened by salinity and water logging. There are many ancient graves in the Shar graveyard and seems very difficult to identify them. However, the local people or the Mujawars identity some of them as the graves of one saint named Abdul Ghani Bozdar and Naban Dariya Badshah. Naban Dariya Badshah belongs to Uch Sharif and is associated with Jangoo Khan Shar to be his spiritual mentor. In the wake of un-controlled water logging, this ancient graveyard seems taking last hiccups of its life.
