Nabha State

[2] This state was ruled by Jats of Sidhu clan belonging to Sikh religion.

[3] The ruling house of Nabha belonged to the Phulkian dynasty, sharing a common ancestor named Tiloka with the Jind rulers.

[a][4] The Nabha rulers descend from Gurditta (Gurdit Singh; r. 1687–1754), the elder son of Tiloka.

[4] Between 1807 and 1808, the ruler of Nabha was afforded British protection from the threat posed by Ranjit Singh and his encroaching Lahore State.

[6] Nabha State was loyal to the British during the Indian Mutiny of 1857, earning territory grants as a reward due to this.
