<p class="C1">&#65279K&#256HN SI&#7748GH MAJ&#298&#7788H&#298&#256 (d. 1853), son of Amar Si&#7749gh Maj&#299&#7789h&#299&#257, served as a general in the Sikh army in the second Anglo-Sikh war. During Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 Ra&#7751j&#299t Si&#7749gh's reign, K&#257hn Si&#7749gh was a minor military officer when he is said to have killed a lion with his sword while out hunting with the Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 in 1831. In 1838 he was an officer in the Gho&#7771cha&#7771&#257 <u>Kh</u>&#257s. He was commandant of the Sikh force at Pesh&#257war in 1848 when his troops marched out of Pesh&#257war to join Chatar Si&#7749gh and Sher Si&#7749gh; K&#257hn Si&#7749gh fought the British both at Chel&#299&#257&#7749v&#257l&#257 and Gujr&#257t. At the time of the annexation of the Punjab by the British, his <i>j&#257g&#299r</i> worth Rs 40,000 was confiscated and he was given a pension of Rs 3,600 per annum. He died in 1853 at Maj&#299&#7789h&#257, his ancestral village, where, it is said, he used his two elephants for ploughing his lands with a specially designed 20-pronged plough. He also had a very large well and Persian wheel constructed, and used the elephants for irrigating his fields.</p>
