<p class="C1">&#65279BISHAN SI&#7748GH, a general in the Sikh army, was the adopted son of Jam&#257d&#257r <u>Kh</u>ush&#257l Si&#7749gh, the royal chamberlain (<i>deo&#7771h&#299d&#257r</i>). He received his education at the Ludhi&#257&#7751&#257 Mission School across the Anglo Sikh-frontier. In 1848, when stationed at Pi&#7751&#7693 D&#257dan <u>Kh</u>&#257n, Bishan Si&#7749gh was ordered to move his troops to assist Herbert Edwardes, the British resident's assistant at Bann&#363, who was then marching against D&#299w&#257n M&#363l R&#257j at Mult&#257n. A few months after, his troops revolted and joined the insurrectionists, but Bishan Si&#7749gh sided with the British and joined Lord Gough's camp. For this he was rewarded with a pension by the British government.</p>
