Dharampura
Dharampura, alternatively spelt Dharmapura, is a neighbourhood located in Lahore. The Mughal emperor Akbar laid the foundation of this colony for Hindus as an alms-house in 1583.. After 1947 Partition it was renamed Mustafabad but is still locally known as Dharampura.
Dharampura sits on the western bank of the Lahore Canal, between the Walled City of Lahore and the Lahore Cantonment. It is a largely working class neighbourhood. The area was largely populated by Hindus and Sikhs prior to the Partition of British India. The locality is also the ancestral home of Sushma Swaraj, who was a lawyer in Supreme Court of India and the Minister of External Affairs of India.
