Singhpuria Misl, also known as the Faizulpuria Misl[1], was one of the twelve misls of the Sikh Confederacy.[2] It founded by the Sikh warrior Nawab Kapur Singh, who was born in1697 and later became a prominent Dal Khalsa leader.[3] The misl took its original name from a village Faizullapur in Amritsar and then changed the name of the village to Singhpura, with the misl eventually following.[citation needed]
History
[edit]The misl was founded by Jats.[2] Nawab Kapur Singh, a leader of the misl and its founder, fought many battles.[3] The Battle of Sirhind (1764) was a turning point of Singhpuria Misl. After the fall of Sirhind a considerable portion of present-day Rupnagar District came under the Singhpuria Misl.[4]
By 1769, the Singpuria Misl had the following territories in its possession:- Some parts of the districts of Jalandhar and Hoshiarpur in Doaba, Kharparkheri and Singhpura in Bari-Doab and Abhar, Adampur, Chhat, Banoor, Manauli Ghanauli, Bharatgarh, Kandhola, Chooni, Machhli Bhareli, Banga, Bela, Attal Garh and some other places in the province of Sirhind.[5]
Territory
[edit]The misl originated from Faizalpur near Amritsar.[2] The Faizulpuria Misl controlled areas along the right-bank of the Beas river and on both banks of the Sutlej, controlling settlements such as Ludhiana, Jalandar, Nurpur, and northwestern Ambala.[6] They Faizulpurias held territory in the Jalandhar Doab and accepted tributes from the Delhi region.[2]
