interesting story any links?????Hail Hari Singh Nalwa :thumb: .. but hold your horses on that one. Allow me to sprinkle few drops of history from my FB page. Will keep it concise I promise
So, you see I'm not a pro in history and though would want to share a lot of exciting stuff .. I would resist from making sweeping conclusions.
Rajputs not only defeated Afghans, they made a nice pudding of their flags.

Was it a lion or a tiger? I think it was a tiger. You said he is called Bagh-Mar, so it was a tiger.At some time during the hunt, he was temporarily separated from the hunting party and a lion attacked him, killing his horse. The rest of the hunters found him but he refused their attempts to protect him and killed the lion by himself with a shield and short sword
Nice find mate .. I was looking for the flag.^^
Amazing post Virendra. Yes, Raja Man Singh it was, and yes, here is the flag if I am not mistaken:
Google is your friend. Or even better, read "History of Jaipur" from Jadunath Sarkar.interesting story any links?????

Bagh = tiger, Singh = lion.
-Wiki:Hari Singh Nalwa built the fortified town of Haripur, Pakistan in 1822.
I don't do those kind of comparisons Karthic. Among my own people, no way. They're all men of honor and we hardly know a fraction about the ground realities, nuances and compulsions of the world they lived in. We forget that; when we live these ordinary lives, crib about our day to day problems and then tend to point fingers or go "this vs. that".Now that both BW and Virendra are there, I think I should put this link,

Google "Zorawar Singh", you'll find the answers.So, when did the Dogras get hold of J&K? (this is a bit off topic)
Hari Singh Nalwa was a Dogra!The Sikhs were a valiant bunch no wonder our armed forces is roughly 12% sikh even though they are only 2% total population.

Well in that case, I'd like to mention that Dogras are a Rajput clan. Although I haven't read much on them, so may be others can correct me if I'm wrong.Hari Singh Nalwa was a Dogra!
One requires a good leadership and good Generalship!
So was Zorawar Singh, who was a Dogra and a General of the Sikh Empire!
Under boths leadership and Generalship the Sikh Empire reached its zenith!
