English narration
•The great Sikh General, JathedarAkaliPhoolaSingh, was born in
1761. His father IsharSingh was fatally wounded during the great
massacre of Sikhs (Wada Ghalughara) in 1762. Before his death he
charged BhaiNarainSingh of MislShaheedanwith the responsibility
of raising his infant son.
•AkaliJi, by the age of ten, could recite Nitnemand other Gurbani
hymns. At AnandpurSahib, he always kept himself busy doing sewa
or reading Gurbani, and he became very popular with the sangat.
Because of his scholastic attitude and commitment to Panthic
welfare, he was made the leader (Jathedar) of the Mislafter the
death of BhaiNarainSingh.
•In 1800, he came to Amritsar and made the Mahantsimprove the
management of the Gurdwaras. The major credit for extending the
boundaries of the Sikh Raj goes to AkaliJi, the legendary general of
the Sikhs.

34. Strength of Fauj-i-Khas
•This alarmed the British, who had come to see the
emerging military power of Punjab as a threat, to such
a degree that they in 1837 issued ordersto be vigilant
and try to arrest any French officer travelling in
disguise to join RanjitSingh’s army.
•Before RanjitSingh, the Punjab army was mainly a pure
cavalry army. Under the supervision of the European
officers, and encouragement by the Maharaja, the
infantry and artillery gained importance, and by the
time of the death of RanjitSingh, the infantry service
had become the preferred service in the army.
