Jati Umra village is about 81 km from Lahore, Pakistan. Before independence, the family of Mian Shahbaz Sharif and Nawaz Sharif lived here. Even today the grave of Mian Mohammad Baksh, the great-grandfather of the Prime Minister of Pakistan, is here in this village.
The special thing is that there is only one Gurughar in this entire village and that too is built on the family land of Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif. The people of the village say that whenever people come to this gurughar to bow their heads, they remember the family of Shahbaz Sharif. When Shahbaz Sharif became the Prime Minister, Ardas was also done in the Gurughar of the village.

Even though the family of Shahbaz Sharif had left the village Jati Umra before independence, but the people of this village are still associated with Mian Shahbaz Sharif and Nawaz Sharif. Balwinder Singh of the village says that there are about 40 youths of this village who are working in the factories of Mian Shahbaz Sharif and Nawaz Sharif in Dubai. The special thing is that the youth of this village only need to take the name of Jati Umra village and job is prepared for them in the factories of Sharif family.
