History
This Sandhu family does not require any particular notice. Amir Singh, a good soldier, was killed at Manchar, and his brother Karam Singh at Daska in 1810. The four sons of Karam Singh served in the Orderlies and in Raja Hira Singh’s Brigade. Three of the family, Amir Singh, Dal Singh and Ganda Singh, joined the rebels at Peshawar in 1848, and their jagirs were confiscated. The sons of Hari Singh, who died in 1857-58 and whose jagir was maintained for his loyalty in 1848, held a jagir nominally worth Rs. 500, though its value was reduced in the late Settlement to about Rs. 300 per annum. Ganda Singh, the elder son, died in 1874.
