my bad it was a tiger that hari singh nalwa killed not a lion hari singh nalwa had personally told a austrian nobleman in 1936 about when he killed a tiger. The 19th century Sikh warrior, Hari Singh Nalwa, got his surname after Maharaja Ranjit Singh uttered the words "wah mere Raja Nal, wah" comparing the warrior's bravery as a child with that of King Nal of Mahabharat. This and other interesting pieces of information were shared by the seventh generation descendant of Hari Singh, Dr Vanit Nalwa, during a presentation of her book 'Hari Singh Nalwa: Champion of the Khalsaji(1791-1837) ' here in National Archives of India. Vanit Nalwa said some historians suggested that Nalwa did not mean "tiger killer" as has been assumed by many, but the surname comes from the words of appreciation of Maharaja Ranjit Singh when he learnt about Hari Singh as a child killing a Tiger single-handedly. "King Nal, who is known for his love for his wife Damyanti, too as a child had killed a tiger and saved his father. The story linking a tiger with King Nal is only mentioned in Dhola, which is an oral epic widely sung and performed right into the late 19th century in Jat villages of Braj region of western UP and eastern Rajasthan. "Ranjit Singh would have heard this many times," she said, adding she sourced the information from an American anthropologist who has specialised in tales surrounding King Nal. "Born in 1791, Hari Singh became a Sardar (leader) at the age of 13 and headed an army of 800 men. "In 1804, when Ranjit Singh learnt about Hari Singh killing a tiger during a hunt, he said 'wah mere Raja Nal, wah'. In some archives, the name is mentioned as Nalwah," Vanit said, adding that this connection between the tiger and King Nal remained a mystery till now despite attempts by historians to study its origin. Vanit said Hari Singh had personally confirmed the event of killing a tiger to an Austrian nobleman Barren Hugor who visited him in 1836. When asked about the descendants of Hari Singh after his death in 1837 in Battle of Jamrud, Vanit Nalwa said his jagirs(lands) were taken away and his family was reduced to poverty. "One of his sons, Jawahar Singh, was a hero in one of Anglo Sikh wars. In records found in Haridwar, Jawahar Singh is thanked for reversal of fortunes of the family. "At the time of India's independence, they migrated to Delhi and my father's greatest regret is he could not bring his transistor and a gun which was left behind," she said. During the seven years of her research to author the book, she said, she had consulted over 2,000 records of archives, Persian and Gurumukhi manuscripts and accessed first-hand reports of nineteenth century travellers. "The book has references in every second sentence," she said.

Everyone came out of the film praising it so much that they want to back the entire series of films being made under the tagline of unsung warriors or unsung heroes. “It was a closed-door screening, but we enjoyed the film a lot. The film had enough material, keeping in mind a lot of VFX that would come in handy when the film would achieve its final look.

A pathan who abducted a bhamans wife was captured by Ajit Singh and then sent to anandpur where he was tied to a tree and had arrows fired at him. Stuff like this continued until the 50s or so in our culture.

Where do they keep the horses at hazur sahib now? Because the first time I went in 2003 the horses were kept in a stable near the gurdwara but when I went 2 yrs ago the horses were not there. They also used to have a sarovar at hazur sahin but that's not there anymore either. A lot has been changed and been moved I guess it's because there is so much sangat there now. When we went in 2003 sangat was a lot less

At work whenever a tranny would come along to try clothes on, the poor girls working on the shop floor had to let him in the female fitting rooms basically manager had told the ladies that if a bloke wants to try on a dress then he is allowed to use the female fitting rooms.
