Lahore, 1910, Vol II, p.293; and also K.Haidri, ''Tarikh I Potohar'' (Urdu), Lahore 1962, pp.74-74. MHK's date of birth is given wrongly as 1829 in Charles Allen, ''Soldier-Sahibs'', London 2000, due to a confusion with another Punjabi chief〕 CSI, was an Indian Muslim who served the Government of British India and rose to considerable distinction.〔MSD Butler, ''Final Report on the Attock district for 1901-1904'', Lahore, 1905, p.110〕
==Origins==
Muhammad Hayat Khan was one of the sons of a Jatt Khattar chieftain, Sardar Karam Khan, resident at Wah (village), in Attock area of Punjab.〔Charles Allen, ''Soldier-Sahibs'', London, 2000, p. 166〕
In 1847-48, after the end of the First Anglo-Sikh War, the said Karam Khan was a staunch adherent of the British, represented by officers of the East India Company appointed in the Punjab region at Lahore under Sir Henry Lawrence to help administer the Punjab. He soon had a chance to prove his loyalty when in June–July 1848, an uprising of Sikh soldiery broke out in the area and John Nicholson (East India Company officer) ventured to the Margalla Pass, near Taxila town, to capture a strategic tower there.〔Allen, p.166〕 During the course of this fight, he was accompanied by some local troops and chieftains, including Karam Khan, and when Nicholson was trapped in a hazardous situation, Karam daringly rescued him.〔This is the site of the 'Nicholson Memorial' - also called Nicholson's Obelisk - today. Allen, pp.166-167〕 Thereafter, Nicholson and Karam Khan became close friends.
In late 1848, Karam Khan was murdered whilst asleep, by his half-brother Fatteh Khan, and his wife and children had to escape their home in their ancestral village and seek refuge in the nearby Hazara region (now Hazara, Pakistan) where they met James Abbott (Indian Army officer) who sent them to Nicholson; and thereafter, Nicholson affected the restitution of the family to their estate and to the education of Karam Khan's orphaned children.〔Allen, pp.173-175〕
