PRESENT HEAD OF HOUSE:

PREDECESSORS AND SHORT HISTORY: The history of the Hyats is buried in many tales, aptly set against the backdrop of the historical Wah village, from where the family originates. The Hyats of Wah are Khattars by descent i.e. of indigenous North Punjabi stock. At the time of Mahmud of Ghazni’s invasions, the clan was mostly residing in the Bagh Nilab area, in the vicinity of the river Indus. They were upper class Kshtriya Hindus, and their main leader at the time was one ‘Kaidu’ or ‘Khattar’ who converted to Islam at that time. He was rewarded for his loyalty to his masters with the title of Khattar Khan. Wah itself was created much later when the Mughul Emperor Shah Jehan in 1645 was marching towards Kabul. Tradition holds that the name of the village, "wah', originates in the Emperor's spontaneous word of praise (wow) as he spotted the humble setting then known as Jalalsar. Estate holders were...
