Jalal Khan Orakzai[b] (Pashto: جلال خان وركزۍ) was an Afghan hero and Mughal serviceman who repulsed a larger marauding Sikh force.

[2] In the Punjab region, barbarities were perpetrated upon the people by the armies of Banda Singh Bairagi who was a Khalsa Fauj general of the First Sikh State.

This infernal man having assembled multitudes of desperate fellows, all as enthusiasts, and all as thirsty of revenge as himself, commenced ravaging the country with such a barbarity as had never had an example in India.

[1] Other skirmishes occurred and further attempts were made for twenty days, and eventually after losing thousands of men the Sikhs withdrew failing to take the town and turning back from the Doab.

[1][4][5] Jalal Khan was rewarded by the Nazim of Delhi, on 31 August 1710 AD, with the Faujdari of Saharanpur which was a deserted position by Ali Hamid Qanauji as well as receiving further promotions in rank by his Mughal superiors.
