Jhok or Jhok Shareef (Sindhi: جهوڪ) is a small town in district Sujawal, Sindh, Pakistan.[1]
Jhok is also the home of Sufi Shah Inayat Shaheed, who battled against the Mughal empire over the distribution of land and taxation among poor peasants (Harees) and thus was executed at the hands of Farrukhsiyar, then ruler of India.[2] [3]
