Nakai Misl

The Guru was not received with hospitality, so he continued to the village of Jambar where he lay down on a charpai (cot) under a shady tree.

Hem Raj, a Sandhu Jat, the Chaudhari or headman of Bahrwal, was absent when the Guru passed through his village.

[5] He also took Chunian from the Afghans, but died near Pakpattan in a battle against Sujan Chisti - a devotee of the Shrine of Baba Farid.

He extended his rule to the talukas of Bucheke, Changa Manga, 69 km from Lahore, Chhichha, Devsal, Fatehpur, Jethupur, Kasur, Kharal fort of Kot Kamalia, Sharaqpur, Gugera pargana, 5 km to the west of the Ravi, and Shergarh, Zamburaks, and artillery.

His mother Sardarni Karmo Kaur met with Wazir Singh to release some of her villages.

[9] Realizing they might lose all their territories Sardarni Karmo Kaur, in consultation with her people, betrothed her infant daughter, Raj Kaur Nakai to the four-year-old Ranjit Singh, son of Sukerchakia Chief Maha Singh, to gain a powerful ally.

Bhagwan had no children and was succeeded by his brother Gyan Singh as the head of the Nakai Misl in 1789.

[18][19] The Sikh Khalsa Army was under her and her minor son Kharak Singh's command during the Battle of Multan (1818).

[12] After Ranjit Singh had declared himself the Maharaja of Punjab in 1801, he continued consolidating the majority of the Misls.

The ambitious Maharaja eyed the Nakai territory, but spared it until Sardar Gyan Singh's death in 1807.

The last Chief had his territory annexed by Maharaja Ranjit Singh, and he stayed in the village of Bahelwal afterward.

Lt. Gen. Jagdishwar Singh Nakai, a direct descendant, joined the British Indian Army when the Second World War broke out and served in the Burma Campaign.

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