My Village Badbar


                   Badbar

Badbar is situated 10 miles of Sangrur on one side and 10 miles of Barnala on the other. A Tee junction offshoots towards Langowal and further to Sanam.


This is a village mostly inhibited by refugees from Pakistan. My father late Sardar Vas Dev Singh and his brother late Sardar Inderjit Singh, Advocate Punjab and Haryana High Courts Chandigarh, along with their cousins were allotted about 800 Acres of agricultural lands in Sirsa ( now Haryana) in lieu of their lands mainly in Multan and Muzaffargarh and other places.


One of my uncles late Sardar Hari Singh was a law graduate from Banaras University and was a Public Prosecutor posted in Patiala. with his influence in the Punjab Government managed to get a consolidated piece of land of 800 acres in a backward area of District Sangrur and that's how My Dad, my uncle and their cousins got a piece of land in village called BADBAR.


The only way to go to Badbar was the same but from Sangrur to Badbar and it stopped there. In the Fifties the road was further extended to Dhanoula and then to Barnala, cutting through he piece of land of my uncles late S Bakhshish Singh and his brother late Sardar Mnamohan singh. They were, however, compensated as per the prevailing law.


We were also allotted 9 Acres each to four of our uncles in Patiala, as the land was inferior and was hence practically given 36 Acres each. At this stage only late Sardar Partap Singh's two sons i.e. Sardar Anand Bir Singh and Sardar Brij Bir Singh are still having that piece of land. Sardar Hari Singh who managed to get our 9 Acres (now 36 acres) transferred in his name, bequeathed to his five sons. I understand that at this moment most of them are not into the business of farming.


Many of our cousins have sold of their lands, except me, Sardar Pritam Singh, Dr Sardar Manohan singh and a couple more. Presently we hold about 150 acres or so in Badbar besides Patiala lands mainly held by brothers Sardar Anand Bir singh ad Sardar Brij Bir Singh.
