Once during the training, his class in-charge asked him to memorize the lesson from the whole class. The next day, when the boy was already questioned, he found out the lesson. Major Sahib replied and soon presented a list to the teacher. What is this? The teacher was surprised to see Raja Aziz Bhatti's name written at the top of the list. Why did you write your name at the top? That is why I did not bring my homework. But what is the harm if you do not write your name? ”The teacher said. Write and write at the top. He replied with literature. 

Well done Bhatti, there was a strange gleam in the teacher's eyes. Remember me. You will one day do a great deed. He did not instil such habits in you. He wants to take some special work from you. Raja Aziz Bhatti smiled. What they did know was that their teacher had sniffed the scent of a great truth. You were number four among the siblings. He had two older brothers and a sister. His parents named him Aziz Ahmed, but your beautiful impressions made him. Gave a name that is still in vogue today. Anyone who called Aziz Bhatti, who had a face and personality like a prince, called him Raja or Bhatti Sahib. A Chinese astrologer once saw Raja Aziz Bhatti on the island of Hong Kong.

World War II ended in August 1946. Considering the circumstances, Major Sahib's parents decided to relocate and moved to Pakistan from Hong Kong with their children. His native village was Ladian, which is located in Gujarat district. This village is the abode of the elders of Raja Aziz Bhatti. It so happened that Major Sahib was on a bicycle with his brother Nazir Ahmed While they were going somewhere, a Hindu boy came in front of the bicycle. 

The bicycle collided with him while he was stopping. The boy was seriously injured. The two brothers picked up the boy and brought him to Daulat Nagar Hospital. Prescribed medicine. Where can I get this medicine, Dr. Sahib? Raja Aziz Bhatti asked. The doctor answered from Lala Musa (name of the city). From Lala Musa? Nazir Ahmed looked at Raja Aziz Bhatti. He is fourteen or fifteen miles away! I have to go, brother John. This is the problem of this boy's life. ”Raja Aziz Bhatti looked at the boy in the bed and said,“ I don't care about the heat, the broken road and the distance of fifteen miles. 

The two brothers reached Lala Musa on a bicycle and when they returned to the hospital with the medicine, the doctor was very impressed with their humane sympathy. You both set a perfect example by helping a non-Muslim wounded in this way. There was Dr Sahib. Raja Aziz Bhatti replied and left the hospital with the boy. In 1947, he married Mohtarma Zarina Begum, daughter of Subedar Ikramuddin Bhatti in his own village. Shortly after the marriage, Major Sahib and his brothers Nazir Ahmed and Sardar Muhammad joined the Indian Air Force. 

Pakistan came into being and their respective troops came to Rawalpindi. Upon his arrival here, Major Sahib applied for a commission in the Pakistan Army which he was happy with Fortunately, you joined the Pakistan Army and after becoming Pakistan, military training classes were launched at the Military Academy in Kakul, near Abbottabad. You got admission for this training after hard work and success in hard competitive exams. The competition was very tough and there was no chance of recommendation and discount. Major Sahib passed all the training exams of the institute with very good marks. 

The biggest prize of this organization was the Northern Gold Medal, which you won as a result of your hard work and constant effort, proving that they were successful in whatever they set out to do. Area On 29 May 1965, Major Raja Aziz Bhatti was appointed Commander of the Pakistan Army in the area. A few days after taking charge, news of the martyrdom of his friend Major Khush Dil Afridi spread. Major Khush Dil Afridi was seriously injured in a landmine blast in the Ranch area in June 1965. He was imprisoned and the news spread that he had been martyred. 

As there was no means of denial or confirmation, it was accepted as true, but the matter was still under investigation by the department. Shortly after taking charge, Raja Aziz Bhatti took a two-month leave from July 19, 1965, to September 18, 1965, and returned home. When he reached home, Major Sahib's wife asked him about Major Afridi. Raja Aziz Bhatti avoided the matter and did not give any satisfactory answer. When Begum asked a question, Raja Aziz Bhatti asked the answer. Why are you so desperately seeking an answer? Because I think you are upset with the martyrdom of Major Afridi, Begum looked at his face carefully. He said, "You are mad, Raja Aziz Bhatti." Look, Afridi's martyrdom has not been confirmed yet. 

The investigation is underway. The stages of the investigation are being worked out. But if Afridi has been martyred, then more than that. What else will be lucky for you? This is the greatest honour for him in religion and in the world and it is a matter of pride for me that Afridi who was martyred is my friend. I understand maybe you, Begum wanted to say. To go When death comes and comes in the form of martyrdom, what is left for the servant to ask from him. Begum was satisfied with his answer and her feelings of respect and esteem for Raja Aziz Bhatti doubled. August 29, 1965, was the day he was informed that his leave would be cancelled and in case of emergency, he was ordered to report for duty immediately.

Will the leave be granted again if the conditions are right? Begum was depressed Asked. Will definitely be found. Why are you getting sad? In the life of a soldier, these ups and downs keep coming. Raja Aziz Bhatti laughed and said, "Father John!" Is there going to be a war with India? Suddenly his younger son Zulfiqar asked. Yes, son, it seems that there will be a war now. Things have never been as bad as they are these days.

Raja Aziz Bhatti replied seriously. So, father, don't show your back in the war. In forgetfulness, in an enthusiastic tone, the son made a hand gesture and said. Well done Raja Aziz Bhatti kissed his son. See Zarina. He looked at his wife and said, "You have heard." What is your son saying? ”Then he addressed his son and said,“ You too, remember one thing of mine, son! Give orders, father John. Little Zulfiqar said. If I am martyred while fighting in the war, do not shed tears. Raja Aziz Bhatti took oath from his son. On the morning of September 5, when Raja Aziz Bhatti after Fajr prayers as usual Recited the Holy Quran. Read the translation. 

He fell in love with his youngest son Javed Iqbal. At that moment, a jeep came to pick him up. His servant Nader put the goods in the jeep. Raja Aziz Bhatti met his wife after having children.

Organized for The enemy, with their small arms, tanks and cannons, rained down fire on the enemy's path The biggest obstacle on this front was Major Raja Aziz Bhatti. His God-given ability to hit him had made him chew the cud. His comrades also acted on his every command in a moment's break without caring for his life in such a way that they were amazed at themselves. For the last six days and six nights on the front, the enemy had suffered so much loss of life and property that it was unimaginable. 

Repeated failures and constant losses had put the enemy under nervous stress and most of all. The main reason was that mentally the Indian army had suffered a fatal feeling of defeat by a small contingent of one hundred and fifty (150) Muslim soldiers on this front. Thousands of his troops were reduced to zero. By now, hundreds of his troops had been sent to hell on this front, while only 11 (11) Pakistani soldiers were martyred in retaliation.

The firing of the Indian Army intensified in the morning. Continued with It seemed that he had so many weapons that he was running aimlessly. The shells were falling to the right and left of Major Aziz Bhatti. Two or three shells fell a few yards ahead of them and exploded. The fire is coming. Come down. Hawaldar Major Faiz Ali shouted and said Hawaldar. Major Sahib laughed and said how many times I have said that it is not possible to keep an eye on the enemy below the track and anyway the fun that is in standing in the rain of this shelling and doing duty is in a safe place! At the same time, Major Sahib saw some Indian tanks rushing towards the canal from Burki. He immediately ordered the artillery to fire on this side. 

The fire hit the target. Indian tanks bounced in the air like children's toys and fell on the ground surrounded by flames. Major Aziz Bhatti applauded the gunner. At that moment, a shell landed on the trees in front of them. A storm of fire, dust and explosions arose but Major Sahib did not get hurt. It was half-past nine in the morning when enemy artillery fired a shell. The shell rose in the air. He hit Bhatti's chest and tore his lungs out. Major Aziz Bhatti jumped and stumbled.
