After thousands of years of subjugation and humiliation. Punjabis were awakened by Guru Gobind Singh. First Banda Singh Bahadur destroyed the Mughal administration, then Nawab Kapur Singh won over the Punjabi country freeing it from the persecution of Mughal and other feudal Zamindars. Once Mughal administration was weakened, foreigners like Nadir Shah invaded 5 years after Martyrdom of Banda Singh Bahadur and then when Kapur Singh had further weakened Mughals, Abdali invaded Punjab (and subsequently fought Marathas at Delhi who had replaced Mughals). At that time, Kapur singh created Dal Khalsa and asked Sikhs to occupy the area between Jamuna and Indus.
Sikhs acquired a new sirname called "Sardars" meaning leaders at that time. Forster who travelled through lndia at the time wrote,"Being at the time in Rohilkhand (area around Merrut), I witnessed the terror and general alarm which prevailed among the inhabitants who, deserting the open country, had retired into forts and places inaccessible to cavalry." He adds "I saw two Sikh horsemen who had been sent from their country to receive the tribute which was collected from the revenues of certain custom houses. The manner in which these people were treated or rather treated themselves, I frequently wished for the power of migrating into the body of Sicque (Sikh) for a few weeks - so well did these cavaliers fare. Islo sooner had they alighted, than beds were preferred for their repose, and their horses were supplied with green barley pulled out of the fields. The 'Kafilah' travellers were contented to lodge on the ground, and expressed their thanks for permission to purchase what they required; such was the difference between those who were in and those who were out of power."
It is sad to recall that the Sikhs in those days did not think of taking over Delhi and thus become the supreme power in India. There were several opportunities for such a course of action. One such arose in April, 1782 when the Wazir Najaf Khan who was the power behind the throne died and a struggle for power followed. They spent their time in the neighbourhood of the capital and crossed into Uttar Pradesh across the Ganges, instead of capturing the Capital.
A significant event, however took place next year. Baghel Singh Dhaliwal of Karoria Misl established his camp near Red Fort in Delhi and raised Gurdwaras at the historical sites associated with the lives of Sikh Gunus. One was erected at Sisganj where Guru Tegh Bahadur had been martyred in Chandni Chauk. Another gurdwara was raised at Rakab Ganj where the body of Guru Tegh Bahadur had been cremated. The third gurdwara was built at Bangla Sahib, Guru Harkishen's place of residence and a fourth was built where the eighth Guru and the wives of Guru Gobind Singh were cremated.
In 1787 Bhaghel Singh joined Ghulam Qadir Rohilla and plundered the Emperor's territory between Delhi and Agra. With Sikhs assistance the Rohilla Chief conquered and looted Delhi and then blinded the Emperor Shah Alam on August 10, 1788. In January 1791 Bhanga Singh of Thanesar captured an English officer, Lieutenant Colonel Stuart and got a ransom of sixty thousand rupees from the English. The English pretended that Stuart had been saved from the bandits by the Sardars.
The Sikh Sardars were gradually losing their idealism and sense of purpose and also their unity. In a quarrel between the Nawab of Rampur and the Nawab of Oudh, both parties asked for Sikh help and both were promised by the rival Sardars. As a result of such disunity the Marathas got the upper hand. General Peron of Marathas armies was able to dictate his terms to the Malwais. An English adventurer George Thomas who had set himself as a Raja at Hansi, was ejected from Sikh territory with great difficulty.
Sikh Chief's fight over Jammu is a good example of their disunity. The Raja of this rich State, Ranjit Dev fell out with his son Braj Raj Dev. The Sukerchakias and the Kanhayas supported the son and Bhangis the father. Later the Ahluwalias joined the Kanhayas and Ramgarhias joined with the Bhangis. There were fights between these two groups for a long time. The Supreme Commander of Dal Khalsa became an ordinary chief of a Misl as this politics of anyone joining against anyone went on.
The total strength of the Misls may be put at one Lakh soldiers. There may have been some increase towards the close of the 18th century. The great mass of them were horsemen known for their effective use of match lock when mounted. Infantry was not an important branch of the ammy and was used only to garrison a few forts. There were few heavy guns which was a disadvantage when fighting against the Afghans and the Mughals. The Sikh soldiers were given no training in drill and discipline. However this shortcoming was compensated by their religiouss fervour. The most popular weapons were swords, spears, and matchlocks.

 From woman, man is born;
within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married.
Woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come.
When his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound.
So why call her bad? From her, kings are born.
From woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.These are words that were uttered by the founder of Sikhism, Sri Guru Nanak Dev in about 1499. So for Sikhs from that period, there has been compulsion to treat women as equals and gender discrimination was not allowed. However, high principles set by prophets and religious leaders have always been very difficult to implement and put into practise. In this respect, equality for women has been a difficult class actually achieve in reality.
The Sikh Women always have been, and always will be, the backbone of the Khalsa Panth. Their selflessness lies second to none in the world. In fact, this quality of theirs has earned them the Godly qualities in their lifetime (due to the extremely important responsibilities placed on them) that their male counterparts may not be able to earn
Guru Nanak worked for the welfare of all to achieve which he strived for equality amongst all. Towards this aim, freeing the female of the overbearing influence of male was of utmost importance. Reading about the lives of some of the women of the Guru period, one realises the extent to which the Gurus were able to achieve their aim.- Bebe Nanaki

In Sikhism, the Holy Scriptures have clearly stated that the Sikh woman has always been regarded as an equal with man and has all the rights and privileges enjoyed by a man. She is considered to have the same soul as man and has equal right to grow spiritually. The Sikh woman is allowed to lead religious congregations, to take part in Akhand Path (the continuous recitation of the Holy Scriptures), to perform Kirtan, to work as Granthi (priest) or a preacher and to participate freely in all religious, cultural, social, political and secular activities.
Sikh woman have played a glorious part in Sikh History and have proven themselves as equal in service, devotion, sacrifice and bravery. Examples of their moral dignity, service and self sacrifice are and will remain a source of inspiration. Women are the backbone of the history of the Sikhs, their culture and tradition yet there is little written about this huge contribution by the Sikh women to the great history of this religion. Man and woman are two sides of the same coin - the human race. Man takes birth from a woman and woman is born of a man. This system is interrelating and inter-dependent. A man can never feel secure and complete in life without a woman. A man’s success depends upon the love and support of the woman who shares her life with him and vice versa.

Lahina Singh was one of the triumvirate who ruled over Lahore for more than 30 years before its occuptation by Ranjit Singh. He was son of a person named Daragha but adopted by Gurbakhsh Singh Roranwala, a Sikh chief of note belonging to the Bhangi Misl, after whose death in 1763 he succeeded him to his estates. The most spectacular achievement of Lahina Singh, in collaboration with Gujjar Singh and Sobha Singh, was the capture of Lahore from the Afghan nominees, Kabuli Mall and his nephew Amir Singh, and minting in 1765 the Sikh coin. Lahina Singh ruled over Lahore most successfully for 32 years, with some intermissions, until his death in September 1797. He enjoyed complete obedience and respect of his subjects. When in December 1766, Ahmad Shah Durrani invaded Lahore and Lahina Singh retired towards Kasur, the Muslim citizens of Lahore pleaded before Shah to confirm Lahina Singh in the governorship of the Punjab. To this end, the Durrani actually invited Lahina Singh, but the latter declined the proposal. He returned to the Shah the fruit he had sent him (just like Sardar Charat Singh), saying that such delicacies were meant for royalty alone. The Sikhs, he told the messanger, lived on parched gram. Of this he gave a quantity to the messenger to be presented to Ahmad Shah on his behalf. Lahina Singh occupied Lahore as soon as Ahmad Shah left for Afghanistan.
Lahina Singh retained a permanent body of 3,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry and in an emergency he could muster a forceof 7,000 horse and 4,000 foot. His territory yielded about 15 lakhs of rupees annually

Biographies - Sikh Warriors
According to Lepel Griffin, there is a legend believed at Bahrwal that runs as under: About the year 1595 Guru Arjan, travelling with a few followers in the Lahore district, reached the small town of Bahrwal which had been founded by an Arora Khatri, named Bahr. The Guru was not received with due hospitality. So he passed on to the neighbouring village of Jambar where he lay down on a charpai (cot) under a shady tree. By this time, Hem Raj, a Sandhu Jat, chaudhari or headman of Bahrwal, who was absent when the Guru passed through his village, heard of what had occurred and ashamed of his town-men's inhospitality went to Jambar and brought the Guru to his town. The Guru blessed Hem Raj and prophesied that his son and successor, Hira Singh, would be a great and powerful chiefs
This legend would have been more correctly applied to Alam, the father or to Mahmana, the grandfather of Hem Raj, for Hira Singh, who was certainly the first man of note in the family, was not born till nearly a hundred years after the death of Guru Arjan which took place in 1606.
Hira Singh
Hira Singh, was the son of Hem Raj, of Bahrwal village in the pargana of Fasilabad and in the province of Multan. He was born in A.D. 1706 (BK. 1763). He was initiated into the Khalsa in 1731,3 and he joined the Sikh movement in the Punjab in 1748. In the course of a few days time about two hundred Sikhs gave him a following and remained in attendance on him, day and night. Hira Singh gathered power about the middle of the eighteenth century. He took possession of the Nakka territory lying between Lahore and Gogaira and between the rivers, Satluj and Ravi, which has given its name to the family of Hira Singh and to the Misal which he commanded. In 1749, he took Satghara and Chunian from the Afghans and augmented his resources considerably Shortly thereafter, the number of his horse and foot rose to three thousand. His territorial possessions included Bahrwal, Faridabad, Jethpur, Chunian, Khudian, Mustfabad and Shergarh and areas from river Ravi to Dogran and Manwan, situated on the bank of river Satuj. Day by day, Hira Singh's status and position increased.
At that time, Sheikh Subhan was the gaddi-nashin of Baba Farid-ud-Din of Pak Pattan. He had, at his command, one thousand horsemen and two thousand pyadas. He was carrying on the administration of the estate attached to the dargah. According to Gian Singh and Muhammad Latif, Subhan Khan Qureshi, the rais (landlord) of Pak Pattan wanted of Muslims to slaughter the cows in large numbers, without compunction. His Hindu subjects felt deeply hurt over it. They made appeals to Hira Singh to ask Subhan Khan to desist from hurting the feelings of the Hindus. But Subhan Khan cared meither for the Hindus nor for Hira Singh's request. Hira Singh launched an attack on Sheikh Subhan. Hira Singb received a gun-shot on his forehead and died instantaneously. His companions brought his dead body to Bahrwal where it was cremated.
Hira Singh had a Suckling son, named Dal Singh. But the Sikhs of the derah assembled and unanimously decided to place his place Nahar Singh as caretaker of the Nakkai Misl.
Sad note: One of his descendant (fourth of fifth generation) converted to Islam in early 20th century as he came in the influence of a Muslim woman., but carried on the name Nakai. Recently, Arif Nakai, grandson of the person who converted to Islam was made an interim prime minister of Pakistan (before Nawaz Sharif).

Charhat Singh Sandhu was grandfather of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. He was eldest of the four Sons of Sardar Naudh singh Sandhu. He took to arms while still very young and started taking part in the raids and expeditions led by his father. He also fought in the Sikh's skirmishes with the Afghan invader Ahmad Shah Durrani. After the death of his father, he broke away from the Faizullapuria Misl and determined to acquire territory for himself. He left his ancestral village of Sukkarchakk and established his headquarters at Gujranwala, where he had gathered a considerable following within a short time.
One of his constant companions was, Amir Singh, who was known in the area for his valour. In 1756, Charhat Singh married Desan, the eldest daughter of Amir Singh. This united the resources of the two families and added considerably to the importance of the young Sukkarchakkia chief. Charhat Singh attakhed Eminabad, killing the faujdar and plundering the town . He next captured Wazirabad. His most significant victory was at Sialkot, where in August 1761 he besieged Ahmad Shah Durrani's general, Nur ud-Din Bamezat. He pressed the Afghan general hard and forced him to flee the town. He had now to face Khwaja Ubaid Khan, the Afghan governor of Lahore, who marched upon Gujranwala to chastise him. The town was besieged, but Charhat Singh fought with courage and surprised the besiegers by his night sallies. In the mean time, other Sikh sardars, under the leader ship of Jassa Singh Ahluvalia, came to his rescue. Ubaid Khan was forced to retreat, leaving behind siege guns, ammunition and stores. In the Vadda Ghallughara or Great Holocaust of 5 February 1762, when the Sikhs were involved in a pitched battle with Ahmad Shah Durrani, Charhat Singh fought with great skill and courage.
No sooner had Ahmad Shah returned to Afghanistan than the Sikhs reappeared all over the Punjab. Charhat Singh and the Bhangi Dhillon sardars sacked Kasur in April 1763. In November 1763 he engaged at Sialkot the Shah's commander-in-chief, Jahan Khan, who had been especially sent to punish the Sikhs, and inflicted upon him a severe defeat. The Shah who came out himself was forced to return home harassed by the pursuing Sikh bands.
Charhat Singh swept across Rachna and Chaj Doabs and reached Rohtas. The Afghan commander of the fort, Sarfaraz Khan, offered stiff resistance, but was overcome near Attock. Charhat Singh defeated Sarbuland Khan, governor of Kashmir, who was on his way to meet the Afghan ruler at Lahore. He followed these victories with the occupation of a large portion of Dhanni and Pothohar areas. He then took Pind Dadan Khan, and built a fort there. The Salt Range of Kheora and Miani was the next to fall to him.
Charhat Singh's rapid successes, especially in the Salt Range and Pind Dadan Khan, aroused the animosity of the Bhangi Dhillon sardars who had always reckoned these areas within their sphere of influence. Their antagonism came into the open when Charhat Singh and the Bhangi sardars took up sides in the family dispute at Jammu. Its ruler, Ranjit Deo, wanted to pass on the succession to his younger son, but was opposed in this attempt by Brij Raj Deo, the elder son, who managed to secure the active support of Charhat Singh and of the Kanhaiyas. Ranjit Deo enlisted the support of the Bhangis. The rival armies marched into Jammu in 1770. Charhat Singh was fatally wounded in the skirmishes that followed the bursting of his own gun.
