Adnan Rashid – Hari Singh Nalwa and My Ancestors – Haripur Fort, Harkishangarh

			Salam aleikum, I am in her report, my ancestral
		

			village or count, you can call it and this place behind me is a very special place. It has
historical value for myself or my family in particular, and for the people of Pakistan in general
and the Sikh community also, right Why? this fortress was called hard Kishan girl. It was made by a
Sikh general called Hari Singh Nava. And it was after his name, this particular city is called
today. Hurry, hurry signal wa was born in 1791. And he rose through ranks and was promoted to become
a general for Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the Maharaja of Punjab and cut the long story short housing
Nova was sent to this Hazara region
		

			to subdue the local tribesmen, who were resisting the seek rule in the local area in this particular
area, and part of those local tribesmen were my ancestors, my direct answers, in fact, my great
grandfather's great grandfather was directly involved in resisting the Sikh rule in this particular
area called the Hazara region of Pakistan.
		

			It is very close to the Kashmir territory and it is also very close to the capital Islam about we
are about 70 kilometers away from the capital, right. And this is the fortress which hurry signal
are made to subdue the local tribesmen Maharaja reducing had sent about
		

			three generals to subdue this area. I will be posting the article with some details in the
description and the comment section for your further perusal. For now, I just want to explain very
quickly that this was a very important fortress made by a very important general working in the 19th
century in the early 19th century for the Sikh Maharaja, the ruler of Punjab, Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
This particular fortress was made in 1821, to subdue the local physician. In fact, there's a story
about this particular fortress that
		

			one of the local chiefs of the Carlyle people or the cloud people was captured by the Sikhs. And at
night, the local tribesmen led by one of my ancestors and the chiefs, invaded or attacked the
fortress, and picked him up with the chains. And the frame the wooden frame he was tied to with the
chains, they picked him up, and they took him outside because they didn't have the time to untie him
in there. They took him outside and they broke the chains and freedom. His name was Sardar Nawab
Khan, the brother of Sardar Hassan Ali Khan, who is mentioned in the article in the description. So
this is a very important fortress, not only for Muslims also for six, because six regard very
		

			highly. This person I'm talking about how do you signal was a very important figure in Sikh history,
of course. And for that reason, I think the government of Pakistan needs to pay more attention to
monuments like this, to promote them so that people from around the world can come and visit. This
was the pitch made by the people then
		

			every time the fortress was attacked or was under threat, this ditch would be filled with water. So
if you follow me very quickly, I want to show you inside, I want to go inside and explain a bit more
history to sambar Nawab Khan who was a canal chief
		

			from the current day, hills of Abbottabad, or earlier region in the Hazara plane. He was attacked by
the Sikhs in this particular for
		

			the seek the Sikh generals faced stiff resistance in this area. In fact, three of the main generals
or three of the Chiefs who invaded this territory with the leaders,
		

			sorry, three of these chiefs, including Sundar unlisting, Nigeria was killed, not very far from it.
So even hurting lava was nearly nearly killed by local tribesmen here for that reason to subdue
them. This particular fortress was made in this territory called Hollywood today. So this is the
city of her report, and it is called her report after how do you signal what the cause he made this
phone call her Christian God, it was initially called her Christian God. Today it is the adaxial
office, which means
		

			for local administration, administrators have offices there. And this was the Treasury by the way,
that building there was the Treasury where the treasure was, so it feels very much intact. It can
still be preserved. My request is from the pocket
		

			Finally government to rescue this place, take care of it and marketed advertise it for the Sikh
community, in particular and for others in general, to tell the story. What happened here. Why was
this fortress made? who fought the Sikhs? Why would the Sikhs resisted when they came into this
territory? Following on from the Mughals and the Durand is, the Sikhs took this territory from the
Durrani chiefs who are governing this territory at the time. So why were the Sikhs here? And why
were they resisted and who was resisting them and what was the history around this fortress, this
very important fortress, the history is very important for the Sikhs, as well as the Muslims of the
		

			area. And it can tell us a lot. Thank you so much for watching. There's more content content coming
your way when it comes to love.
