Bura Jungle Village, nestled along the historic GT Road in Pakistan, bears witness to a rich and complex history spanning over Seven centuries. The village is ruled by the Gurjar Tribe, which traces its lineage back to the esteemed Prathiara Dynasty and is reputed to originate from the Hindu deity Lord Krishna, further adding to its historical significance.

The Gurjar family's noble heritage includes a remarkable figure: Ala Din, Noor Dad's father, who was the wealthiest and most generous personality of the neighboring areas in the late 1800s. Ala Din's legacy of benevolence and leadership established a foundation of respect and authority for his descendants.

In the wake of the Ghaznavid invasions, the Gurjar rulers fled to preserve their lives, bringing with them not only their loyal servants but also a legacy of honor and benevolence. They established Bura Jungle Village as a sanctuary for many displaced by the tumultuous eras. Generously offering land to migrants from various tribes, they created a diverse and vibrant community. The village's strategic location along the GT Road naturally attracted those seeking opportunities, reinforcing its role as a refuge for those in need.

However, the tranquility of Bura Jungle Village was shattered in the early 20th century. The global outbreak of a devastating disease in 1920 caused widespread hardship and scarcity. Amidst this chaos, the Gurjar family faced a tragic loss with the death of Noor Dad, the esteemed leader of the tribe at the time. The weakening of the family's control over the village left it vulnerable to opportunistic individuals from lower tribes, who began to exploit the situation, illegally occupying land and fabricating false claims.

Abdul Malik, Noor Dad's son, emerged as a staunch defender of his family's legacy. Despite relentless efforts to combat the encroachment and deceit, Abdul Malik faced significant challenges. His six sons stood by him, each contributing to the struggle in their own way. Among them, Muhammad Aslam distinguished himself as the most capable and deserving successor. Not only was he the first graduate among the neighboring areas, but his financial acumen and moral integrity set him apart. With the unanimous approval of his five brothers, Muhammad Aslam took on the mantle of leadership after the death of the eldest brother.

The transition of power was fraught with internal strife. The second eldest brother and his progeny, discontent with Muhammad Aslam's rise, began to collaborate with the fraudulent elements from lower tribes. Their actions further complicated the situation, facilitating the continued exploitation of their own family’s land.

Muhammad Arshad, the son of Muhammad Aslam, inherited a complex and turbulent situation. Despite his deep spiritual commitment and the strong support of the Pakistani government, he faced significant resistance from the community. Many villagers, having benefited from the fraudulent practices, were aligned against him. Despite these adversities, Muhammad Arshad's dedication to justice and his grandfather's legacy propelled him to reclaim the land that had been wrongfully taken.

Today, Muhammad Arshad stands as the Wali of the Gurjar Tribe, a figure of compassion and righteousness, embodying the virtues of his grandfather Abdul Malik. Known to be the current Kalki Avtaar, Muhammad Arshad's profound knowledge of spiritualism, his practices, and his moral character make him a distinguished leader. His leadership symbolizes a return to the principles of generosity and moral integrity that once defined Bura Jungle Village. Despite the numerous challenges he has faced, his unwavering resolve to restore justice and uphold his family's honor remains steadfast.
