Biography
He born in c. 1924 in village Gohra Rajgan, Choa Saiden Shah in Chakwal tehsil.[2] His father was Raja Feroz Khan Janjua. He was named Amer Gulistan, he believes, because the news of his birth reached his father while his father won a decisive battle in a place called Gulistan. The literal meaning of his name is Chief of Gulistan.
He was awarded Sitara-e-Quaid-e-Azam and Tamgha-e-Pakistan, Nishan-e-Taj (Iran), Grand Order of Kokab (Jordan) and Order of Gorkha Dakshina Bahu (Nepal).[3]
