It seems he might have been a Punjabi Hindu, Khatri by caste. A brave general who did a lot of service for the Sikh kingdom and deserves to be remembered. Back then there was no conflict between Punjabi Hindus and Sikhs. Differences only arose when that devil Dayanand Sarasvati came to Punjab and began to poison the hearts and minds of the Punjabi Hindus against the Sikhs by creating his Arya Samaj movement. During the Sikh revival movement i.e. Singh Sabha, all Punjabi hindus would have become Sikhs had the Arya Samaj not been in Punjab.

oh ok, yeah he certainly sounds brave and seems to have contributed a lot. warriors like him, deserve to be remembered. im surprised that other than maharaja ranjit singh himself, not much information is available on the generals who pretty much kept the empire up and running, no books nothing! oh ok il look into dayanand sarasvati, thanks

He was a Gujrati Hindu under the employ of the Bhangis. It is said he later became a Sikh.

Captain Amrinder Singh's 'The Last Sunset' does cover the finer points.

Mokham Chand was a brilliant general. Only Ranjit Singh bested him in strategy.

Hi, yes there were many great generals and figures in the sikh empire including Europeans! I’d recommend “The history of the Sikhs Volume V” by Hari Ram Gupta. It is focused on Ranjit singh but goes into some detail about other figures and their contribution

Diwan Mohkam Chand Nayyar was Hindu Punjabi Khatri. He is my great great great grandfather. My father & grandfather told me about his bravery and accomplishments. I was able to verify this ancestry lineage from Bahis in Haridwar being managed by our Kul-Purohit.

Anyone who believes in Shri Guru Granth Sahib's teachings is a Sikh ( a disciple/ student). Including myself, majority of Hindus in the world are also Sikhs as they believe in these teachings. They are not necessarily Singhs who should be wearing 5 Ks- Kanga (a comb), Kacha (cotton shorts worn under the clothes), Kara (a steel bracelet), Kesh (uncut hair), Kirpan (steel sword).

      Child marriage questions

      By Jassu · Posted

      back then was waaaay different. ppl didn’t attend higher education or have much to do after the age of like… 13, lol. you’d have 13 year olds boys and girls that know how to do kethi, cook entire meals, etc    nowadays even 22 year olds are extremely immature and can be sheltered. the average person doesn’t know how to do anything except their 9-5 which they are probably half arsing as well.

      Starched Turbans - Topi Or Not Topi

      By ipledgeblue · Posted

      If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!

      Sanjog, Marriage, Destiny, & Free Will

      By Jassu · Posted

      the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
