Singh Krora Misl
The Singh Krora Misl, also known as the Karorsinghia Misl or Panjgarhia Misl, was one of the twelve misls of the Sikh Confederacy.
History
The misl was founded by Jats. Sardar Karora Singh, resident of Barki was the first chief of this Misl; earlier, Karora Singh was the deputy of the jatha led by Sardar Sham Singh of village Narli ; after the death of Sham Singh in 1739, Sardar Karam Singh became the chief of this Jatha; he too died in the early days of 1748 and Karora Singh became the chief of the Jatha.In March 1748, when the Misls were formed, his jatha became a Misl; then this jatha came to be known as Karorsinghia Misl. Karora Singh had the command of 7-8 thousand horsemen; his first possessions were Hariana and Sham Churasi ; Karora Singh died in the Battle of Taravari in 1761.
Karora Singh was succeeded by Baghel Singh of Jhabal ; Baghel Singh was fond of adventures; he left the Majha area and launched his actions in Karnal, Saharanpur and other areas of Gang-Doab; he was one of those five generals who unfurled blue Khalsa flag on Red Fort at Delhi on 11 March 1783.
Baghel Singh died in 1802 without an heir. Jodh Singh and Sukhu Singh each claimed to be the chief of this Misl. During this interregnum, Baghel Singh's two widows, Ram Kaur and Rattan Kaur, ruled this Misl.
