→ A small village in the Ludhiana district in Punjab, India.

An unflinching loyalty to the armed forces is common to the residents of Nathowal, a sentiment that has earned it the title of ‘faujian da pind’. Tucked away in a corner of Ludhiana district amidst acres and acres of emerald fields, this village grows a bumper crop of soldiers even in this season of scarcity. Figures speak volumes: the village brags 250 soldiers— around 16 of them stationed at J-K—and as many ex-servicemen. Many families from the village can still trace back their ancestry to one of the seven individuals now known as Seven Leaves (Sath Pattian) who initially started the village.

This village is predominately Buttars
