Rai Abdullah Khan Bhatti (Punjabi: رائے عبداللہ خان بھٹی; c. 23 July 1547 – 26 March 1599)[1][2][3] popularly known through his Punjabi moniker, Dulla or Dullah Bhatti, is a Punjabi folk hero who came from the Pakistani Punjab region and led the Punjabis to a revolt against Mughal rule during the reign of the Mughal emperor Akbar.[4] He is entirely absent from the recorded history of the time, and the only evidence of his existence comes from Punjabi folk songs.[5]
The deeds of Bhatti are recounted in folklore and took the form of social banditry. According to Ishwar Dayal Gaur, although he was "the trendsetter in peasant insurgency in medieval Punjab", he remains "on the periphery of Punjab's historiography".[6][7]
