<p class="C1">&#65279KISHAN SI&#7748GH (d. 1846), the second son of Jam&#257d&#257r Khush&#257l Si&#7749gh, an influential courtier in Sikh times. Chronicles of the Lahore district do not contain any mention of Kishan Si&#7749gh until after the death of his father in 1844. As H&#299r&#257 Si&#7749gh &#7692ogr&#257 rose to power in 1843, the tribulations of the family began. K&#299shan Si&#7749gh was offered stringent terms of succession to his father's estates. He was deprived of his father's <i>j&#257g&#299rs</i> worth Rs 1,70,000 annually, and lands worth only Rs 70,000 were left to him and his family. He was required to pay a nazar&#257n&#257 of Rs 5,00,000 to the State. In addition, he was put under pressure to bring back to the Punjab the treasure and goods his father had secreted at Haridv&#257r. Kishan Si&#7749gh, along with his mother and family, was placed under restraint at Amritsar and an official of the <i>tosh&#257<u>kh</u>&#257n&#257</i> was sent to Haridv&#257r to take possession of the property. The detainees were set at liberty only after the death of H&#299r&#257 Si&#7749gh.</p>
<p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kishan Si&#7749gh died in the battle of Sabhr&#257o&#7749 in 1846.</p>
