Buttar (Punjabi: ਬੁੱਟਰ, Urdu: بٹر), is a clan as well as surname of Jatt people in the Punjab and also abroad as they migrated overseas. Its members lives in the Punjab region (West Punjab & East Punjab), mainly the Malwa belt. In 1881, according to the census, there were only 10,883 Buttars in the Undivided Punjab (British Panjab).
The Buttar clan was a part of the warrior Deol clan, and later was divided into the clan it is now.
Bhai Tara Singh Wan, the eighteenth century Sikh martyr, was a Buttar Jatt of village Wan, also known as Dall-Wan (Lahore District), present day Amritsar district. His father, Gurdas Singh, was also a great martyr.
Bhai Tara Singh was born around 1687. He took Amrit from Bhai Mani Singh and grew up to be a devout Sikh, skilled in the martial arts. As persistent persecution drove the Sikhs out of their homes to seek shelter in hills and forests. Tara Singh make a Dera outside the village and gave refuge to any Sikh who came to him to escape persecution. A government informer, Chaudhry Sahib Rai of Naushehra Pannuan, complained to the Faujdar of Patti, Ja'far Begh that Tara Singh harboured criminals. Ja'far Begh sent a large army to Wan but Tara Singh's colleague Sardar Baghel Singh defeated them, killing their commander, the nephew of Jafar Begh and got martyrdom himself.
The King has planned the supper
For the wedding of His Son
And He sent out His servants
To invite the chosen ones
But they would not receive them
And they all refused to come
So He sent them to the highways
Inviting everyone
They came from every direction
They entered into the gates of the One
The One who called them
And gave them the right to sit next to His Son

All those with ears to hear Him knocking
There will be rich and poor alike
There will be old and young

And the voice of the Spirit say, "Come"
