Ram Rai Pur
Ram Rai Pur is a village in Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar district. The village is located in the eastern part of Punjab, India (31°5'12"N, 76°10'15"E). It is situated on the right bank of the Sutlej which is one of the 5 main rivers in Punjab. It is also one of the oldest villages in Punjab with a history dating back to the 17th century. The village consists of 4 large Sikh family clans, which are represented by the Dhindsa, Dhariwal, Dharni and Jhaj clans. Some of these family members have since emigrated to places all over the world such as Canada, England, New Zealand, Australia and the United States. The Dharni families are also known as "Sikhan de". The late Sant Sewa Singh was one of the main heads of the family and he was well respected by the whole village as well as the local politicians. The families originally came from the Bathinda district and relocated more than five decades ago. The original five families have now grown to more than twenty.
