Rai Bular, (died c. 1515)[citation needed] was a Muslim Rajput noble of the Bhatti clan during the latter half of the 15th century.[citation needed]
He inherited the position as zamindar of Talwandi from his father Rai Bhoi.[citation needed]
Although a Muslim, Rai was inspired by the Sikh Guru Nanak and donated half of his land - over 18,500 acres of agricultural land. He was among the first few people who viewed Nanak as someone who was specially gifted by God. The land he donated is now under the control of Evacuee Trust Property Board of Pakistan.[1]
Bular's descendants, the Rai family of Bhattis, have continued to play an active role in the area through to the 21st century.[1]
