<p class="C1">&#65279N&#256HAR SI&#7748GH (d. 1866), son of Surjan Si&#7749gh, joined Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 Ra&#7751j&#299t Si&#7749gh's service in 1803. He accompanied him on his Pi&#7751&#7693&#299 Bha&#7789&#7789&#299&#257&#7749 campaign, and later took part in the expedition against the Bha&#7749g&#299s and in the attack on the fort of Kallar, which was defended by Jodh Si&#7749gh A&#7789&#257r&#299v&#257l&#257. In 1804, he went in action with the Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 against R&#257j&#257 Sa&#7749s&#257r Chand Ka&#7789och, who had tried to occupy a portion of the Jalandhar Do&#257b, and defeated him near Hoshi&#257rpur. Thereafter he joined the expedition against H&#257fiz Ahmad <u>Kh</u>&#257n of Jha&#7749g resulting in the imprisonment of that chief. He served in the first unsuccessful campaign of Mult&#257n and then in both the Kashm&#299r expeditions under D&#299w&#257n R&#257m Di&#257l in the <i>&#7693er&#257</i> of Prince Kha&#7771ak Si&#7749gh. He received a <i>j&#257g&#299r</i> of rupees fourteen thousand at S&#257mb&#257 in the Jamm&#363 region. He fought in the battle of &#7788er&#299 in 1823 and served under the command of Har&#299 Si&#7749gh Nalv&#257, and participated in the fighting against the Maz&#257r&#299s of Mi&#7789hanko&#7789 in 1835-36 under Prince Kha&#7771ak Si&#7749gh. N&#257har Si&#7749gh was treated with great consideration and favour by Prime Minister Jaw&#257har Si&#7749gh. He received an elephant as a present and, on being appointed commander of the M&#363lr&#257j&#299&#257 regiment, he was deputed against the insurgents who had ravaged the country in the neighbourhood of Gujr&#257t and had looted the shrine of Ker S&#257hib, a place of sanctity for the Sikhs. During the first Anglo-Sikh war (1845-46) N&#257har Si&#7749gh had served under Ra&#7751jodh Si&#7749gh Maj&#299&#7789h&#299&#257.</p>
