Ramgarhia Misl

Ramgarhia Misl (Punjabi: ਰਾਮਗੜ੍ਹੀਆ ਮਿਸਲ(Gurmukhi)) was a sovereign state in the Sikh confederacy of Punjab region in present-day India and Pakistan. The misl's name is derived from Quila Ramgarh, a place near Amritsar which was fortified and redesigned[1] by Ramgarhia Misl chief Jassa Singh Ramgarhia. The Ramgarhia misl was one of the 12 major Sikh misls, and held land near to Amritsar.[2]

A 1780 map of the Punjab Region shows the relative positions of the Sikh Misls and other states.

History

As Quila Ramgarh was fortified to defend the Golden Temple from outsider invaders. So people of this misl derived its name Ramgarhia, which lietrally means Custodians of the Castle of God.[3] Quila Ramgarh and Ramgarhia Bunga are symbol of the Ramgarhia Sikh community's identity, their historic sacrifices and contribution to defending the Golden Temple over the centuries.[4]

Sikhs under the leadership of Jassa Singh Ramgarhia attacked Delhi and briefly held its control.[5] Sikhs have seized the granite slab of Takht-e-Taus[6] from the Red Fort on which, according to the oral tradition, all the Mughal emperors were crowned in Delhi and brought it to Amritsar as a symbol of their victory. This green slab was placed in Ramgarhia Bunga at Amritsar, where it still lies.

The headquarter of Ramgarhia misl (Quila Ramgarh) has already lost its very existence and its location is adjacent to Gurudwara Sri Ramsar Sahib and Guru Ramdas Khalsa Senior Secondary School on Ramsar Road, Amritsar.

gollark: Create a new section "Bees" %bees.Create a rule "Bee utilization part 1" (%bees-1) in %bees:> The deployment status of bees is considered part of the Game State. No bee action (except for bee deployment) may be taken unless bees are currently deployed. Bee actions include deployment of bees, which makes bees become deployed, cessation of bees, which makes bees not be deployed, and use of bees against a player. The player bees are to be used against must be indicated in the Bee Poll authorizing this action. Use of bees against players causes their Points quantity to be reduced by 1, unless it is already 0, in which case there is no effect.Create a rule "Bee Poll" (%bee-poll) in %polls:> A Bee Poll is required to authorize bees to perform actions, as described in %bees. The default allowed reactions for a Bee Poll are 👍 (representing a vote for) and 👎 (representing a vote against). Bee Polls may be closed if they have existed for 12 hours or more, rather than the usual 24. If a Bee Poll is passed, the action it describes is taken. Players are permitted to use multiple reactions on a Bee Poll. A Bee Poll must clearly indicate that it is a Bee Poll.Due to the passage of proposal #207, bees are to be considered "deployed" initially.
