‘Badrukhan’ a village 5 miles from Badbar

The residents of five small villages, Vada Agwarh, Vichla Agwarh, Dalamwal, Dhaliwas and Thagan wali Patti, under the leadership of Pandit Badru, approached Great Jat ruler Maharaja Gajpat Singh, the Maharaja of Jind, for security from dacoits. Maharaja Gajpat Singh amalgamated these villages and named it Badrukhan. In 1763, when Gajpat Singh captured the town of Jind, Badrukhan was made the capital of Jind State. He also built a fort here.^[1]

Badrukhan is believed to be the birthplace of mother of Maharaja Ranjit Singh(Raj kaur )and Maharaja Hira Singh of Nabha.

Here is a story about Raj Kaur…

This story is of "Badrukhan" village. A "daughter" is born long ago in this village house. Due to the old thoughts, everyone except the mother and the uncle who studied the city were against the birth of the girl. Even the girl's father wasn't adopting her. One day his uncle came a little late. Taking advantage of this, the girl's grandparents snatched her from her mother's lap and went to kill her. In those times, girls were killed by pressing in pitchers. Grandmother put that little soul in a pitcher and held a piece of jaggery in her hand and said, "Eat the jaggery, cut it, you did not come yourself, hurt my brother", then she closed the pitcher and in the courtyard of fear of defamation Just buried it. Inna's uncle reached the girl's house. He guessed her crying sister-in-law and asked where the girl was. The girl's father pointed out that she is buried there, go and save her if you can. The girl's uncle started digging the soil and took out the pitcher. He saw the girl sucking her thumb and her breath was breathing. He picked up the girl and hugged her and took all the responsibility. The name of that girl was named Raj Kaur and she was raised and married. After marriage, a boy was born from the womb of that girl and his name was named Ranjit. The same Ranjit was known as Maharaja Ranjit Singh. If Raj Kaur was not there then Maharaja Ranjit Singh would not have been there and if Ranjit Singh was not there then Punjab would not have been independent and we would not have been free today. At the end I will say only one thing "daughter in womb,, water in pitcher,, , if you don't take care of it then it's over ....
