Sardar Baghel Singh
Sardar Baghel Singh’s historic entry into Delhi on January 18, 1774, resonates deeply with my heritage and family’s history, for it reflects the spirit of courage, leadership, and devotion that I’ve always admired and sought to honor in my life. Baghel Singh’s Karor Singhia Misl, a powerful force with 12,000 well-trained horsemen, reminds me of the unity and strength our family has valued across generations. Just as Baghel Singh was able to rally over 40,000 soldiers under his command, our family, despite its diverse branches and roles, has always come together to uphold shared principles and goals.
Baghel Singh’s qualities as a leader, negotiator, and devout Sikh hold personal significance for me. My Ancestor’s commitment to the faith transformed not just their lives but also set a spiritual foundation for our family, much like Baghel Singh’s leadership inspired the Sikh misls.
The Karor Singhia Misl’s operations in south-east Punjab and beyond remind me of the sacrifices made by my ancestors. Baghel Singh’s campaigns into territories like Meerut, Khurja, and Agra evoke the resilience and strategic vision of leaders who preserved their identity and stood against adversities. It is this legacy that continues to inspire me to lead my life with integrity and fortitude, ensuring that my children and grandchildren remain connected to their roots and proud of their heritage.
As I pen down my memoirs and recount our family’s journey, the stories of such historic Sikh leaders reinforce the idea that we are part of a larger narrative of resilience and faith. Just as Baghel Singh left a mark on the land and history of Delhi, my family’s contributions, from house “Karamvas” in Badbar to inspiring future generations like Gobind, Jania and Geet, reflect our commitment to leaving a meaningful legacy.
