Dallewalia Misl

[1][2] The founder of this Misl was Sardar Gulab Singh[3][4] resident of the village of Dallewal near Dera Baba Nanak, in Doaba Bist Jalandhar.

[5][6][7] He took Pahul and became an active member of the Dal Khalsa in 1726 A.D and launched upon a career of chivalry, fighting against the tyrannical government of the Punjab.

One day at the head of 150 comrades, he attacked Jalandhar and having obtained a rich booty all of them returned to their camp in the jungle safely.

The same year, an intelligence of the Sikhs gave them an information that revenue, to the tune of five lakh rupees, collected from the area between Sarai Rawalpindi and Rohtas, was being carried to Lahore.

[5] Gulab Singh died in 1759, in the Battle of Kalanaur, 27 km west of Gurdaspur, fighting against Ambo Khan.

A 1780 map of the Punjab Region shows the relative positions of the Sikh Misls and other states.
