Nawa Pind Shonkia Da (In English - Modern village of stylish people) also known as ''Nawa Pind'' and ''Nawa Pind Arayian Da'' is a village in Nakodar. Nakodar is a tehsil in the city Jalandhar of Indian state of Punjab. It was previously known as Nawa Pind Arayian Da because of its large Muslim population; even today that name is often used in official files. == How Nawa Pind Got its Name ==
It is believed that in the later part of nineteenth century when umbrellas were not very common in India, people of Nawa Pind used to use umbrellas in hot sun and that's how people started calling them stylish. By the turn of the twentieth century nearly every household in the village had a family member who had migrated to East Africa for work. On returning home these people would bring back gifts such as umbrellas, not cover against rain but the sun! But that is only one part of the story. Nawa Pind was a very modern pind at that time even in comparison to towns and cities in British India. Majority of the houses were brick built with modern facilities and the streets were brick paved. There was a school in the village paid for and run by the villagers. Nawa Pind came into existence in later part of the eighteenth century. Unlike now, it was barren land and the first building in the village was somewhere near to where the playground is, previously a pond. Hence the name, Nawa Pind (New Village) with the reference 'Shonkia Da' added later. Before partition the majority population was Arian Muslims and the inhabitants were all most in all related by blood. There were few Sikh and Christian families in the village too. Their ancestry could be traced back to the first village founder. After the partition whole of the village, except for those still residing in East Africa, migrated to Pakistan but fate would have it that most would get reunited again in the United Kingdom.
