abstract
  • Veer Singh Dillon (1792–1842) was a legendary[citation needed] Sikh who was born in Gurdaspore, Punjab. He was the a general in the army of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and was the founder of one of the most highly honored Sikh warrior families. Veer Singh was awarded the title Jallaha of Gurdaspore after his army single-handedly won the eastern areas of Punjab for the Maharaja. Later when the Sikh Empire fell to the British forces, the armies of the Jallaha of Gurdaspore (then under the son of Veer Singh) were not defeated due to their strong defenses. But later the British signed a treaty with the ruler in which his areas would come under the British Empire but the Jallaha would still remain the supreme commander of the military forces and also the chief administrator of the area.
