Pahalwan Di Hatti History :
The roots of Pahalwan go back to the year 1920, when Anant Ram Abrol popularly known as Nanto Shah, its founder went to Lahore (Pakistan) from Jammu as a struggler in search of work to earn his living hood for his family and with great difficulty and his concerted efforts he got a chance to work in a sweet shop owned by his mentor Shri Mani Ram Pahalwan in Machhi Hatta Lahore Pakistan. He worked in this sweet shop for 14 years and during that period he learned a lot about this business with great enthusiasm & hard work. He had gained sufficient experience in the production and selling of sweets under his guidance after a lot of struggle. Later on, after coming back to his home in Jammu in 1934
from Lahore, Sh. Anant Ram Abrol, a struggler decided to test his fate & started his venture by opening a small shop in the heart of the old city of Jammu in the Pirmitha area under the name and style " Pahalwan Di Hatti" & made a logo with the name " Pahalwan's", where he used to sell Milk(Dudh), curd(Dahi), sweets(Barfi) and Rabri(sweetened concentrated milk) in a limited range.
In a short period, the shop became popular and famous all over Jammu and Kashmir because of its well-maintained product quality, hard work, and sober nature. People used to come especially from far-flung areas from Jammu & Kashmir and other parts to visit his shop and enjoy his tasty sweets and quality food. In a short period, he attained a big name and fame all over Jammu & Kashmir.
He had also a great passion for wrestling and used to go often to play wrestling matches & was considered a good wrestler. During my research, I came to know that he enjoyed a simple lifestyle as well used to visit scenic spots and tourist destinations on vacations often during that period he used to keep his sweet shop closed and after coming back from break, he used to restart his business again with great enthusiasm and energy. His heirs joined his business later to help him in the expansion of this small business venture under his guidance and by dint of hard work and struggle, he succeeded in growing his business by leaps and bounds in the area with a big name and fame.
The quality of Pahalwan Di Hatti's products was even appreciated by the then Prime Minister of J&K Jenab Sheikh Mohamed Abdullah in 1953 when he once visited personally the shop and tasted its desserts. This appreciation encouraged them to maintain the quality of the products and infused a new spirit among the owners of Pahalwa Di Hatti to expand this business more vigorously
After the demise of the founder of Pahalwan Di Hitti Sh. Anant Ram Abrol, in 1984, his 4 legal heirs resolved firmly to continue the mission of his founder by carrying forward his legacy of this business with utmost honesty and sincerity on his footprints. Therefore they all succeeded in flourishing and making the expansion of the business by opening more such outlets in the winter capital of J&K at Gandhi Nagar, Wave Mall Channi, Bari Brahamana, and Pirmitha Jammu.
