This is Dhok Muhammad Bakhsh.

Dhok Muhammad Bakhsh (also spelt Dhok Muhammad Baksh) is a dhok, a farmstead hamlet in District Chakwal, Punjab, Pakistan. It sits on the Potohar plateau, a land of dry ravines and rain-fed fields, with the Salt Range to the south.

In straight-line distance, Kallar Kahar lake and the Kallar Kahar interchange on the M2 motorway are each about 15 km away, while the Katas Raj temples and Dandot in the Salt Range are about 27 km. Across the plateau, families grow wheat and groundnut on rain-fed land, and many have members serving in the army or working abroad.

The full story of this village, its families and its memories is still to be told by the people who live here and those who have gone far away. This page is an invitation to tell it.

ہماری اپنی کہانی، ہمارے خاندان اور ہماری یادیں ابھی اہلِ ڈھوک کی زبانی سنی جانی باقی ہیں۔ یہ صفحہ انہی باتوں کو سامنے لانے کی دعوت ہے۔
