He later acknowledging the supremacy of the N&#257bh&#257 chief joined his service. He represented the N&#257bh&#257 ruler at the negotiations which led to the cis-Sutlej chiefs being taken under British protection in 1809. In 1812, he was induced by Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 Ra&#7751j&#299t Si&#7749gh to leave N&#257bh&#257 and become his <i>waz&#299r</i> which office he held until his death in 1829. He and his four brothers were given in <i>j&#257g&#299r</i> Al&#257valpur, in Jalandhar district, with a revenue of over a lakh of rupees. Himmat Si&#7749gh also received two villages south of the Sutlej from Fateh Si&#7749gh &#256hl&#363v&#257l&#299&#257, the Kap&#363rthal&#257 chief. The famous Jalli&#257&#7749v&#257l&#257 B&#257<u>gh</u> in Amritsar, the scene of the killing of hundreds of unarmed, defenceless Indians by a senior British military officer on 13 April 1919 belonged to Himmat Si&#7749gh Jallev&#257l&#299&#257. Himmat Si&#7749gh's elder son, Albel Si&#7749gh was killed fighting for Ra&#7751j&#299t Si&#7749gh, on the banks of the Jehlum in 1825. On Himmat Si&#7749gh's death the village of Al&#257valpur passed on to his heirs subject to the provision of 180 horsemen.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1">Griffin, Lepel, and C.F.
