<p class="C1">&#65279JAI SI&#7748GH (d. 1784), a Ja&#7789&#7789 Sikh of M&#257jh&#257 living near the village of A&#7789&#257r&#299 in Amritsar district, joined hands with the Nish&#257n&#257v&#257l&#299 <i>misl</i> in its invasion of the cis-Sutlej tracts, fighting in the battle of Sirhind (1764) and assisting in the seizure of Amb&#257l&#257, Sh&#257h&#257b&#257d, Lidhr&#257&#7749, Amloh and Sar&#257i Lashkar <u>Kh</u>&#257n. He obtained 34 villages as his share around Lidhr&#257&#7749 and Khara&#7771. Shortly afterwards Jai Si&#7749gh suffered defeat with his associates at the hands of Ahmad Sh&#257h Durr&#257n&#299 and had to take refuge in the hilly country north of Amb&#257l&#257. R&#257j&#257 Amar Si&#7749gh of Pa&#7789i&#257l&#257 annexed his seven villages around Khara&#7771. A serious discord erupted as Jai Si&#7749gh found himself strong enough to claim his possessions. Eventually a compromise was arrived at, Pa&#7789i&#257l&#257 agreeing to surrender four of the villages. Jai Si&#7749gh's daughter was married to R&#257j&#257 Jasvant Si&#7749gh of N&#257bh&#257.</p>
<p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;	Jai Si&#7749gh died in 1784. His son, Cha&#7771hat Singh, who succeeded him, accepted British protection in 1809.</p>
