How the vast Afghani Empire on Punjabi soil disappeared in Kasur, Multan, Kashmir and Peshawar is a subject closely associated
with the campaigns of Sardar Hari Singh Nalua, the Marshal of the
Khalsa and terror for the Afghans. Being the ‘Murat of the Khalsa’ as he
was appropriately called by Sir Henry Griffin, the famous British
dignitary and a prominent writer of significant treatise on the Sikhs,
his name figures among those patriots
who participated bravely rather passionately in almost all battles
fought constantly against the Afghans during the Sikh rule under
Maharaja Ranjit Singh for a period of three decades from A.D. 1807 to
A.D. 1837.
Sardar Hari Singh Nalua, the typical product of his age was born at Gujranwala now in the West Pakistan in A.D. 1791 in Uppal family in the house of Sardar Gurdial Singh to Dharam Kaur.

His grandfather Sardar Hardas Singh engaged in the service of Sukarchakia Misl was killed in an expedition undertaken by the Misl in A.D. 1762. Gurdial Singh, the father of Sardar Hari Singh Nalua followed the profession of his father and took part in various campaigns of Sukarchakia Sardars – Charat Singh and Mahan Singh in the capacity of Deradar .

He expired in 1798 when Hari Singh was only seven years of age and
was thus looked after with care and caution by his maternal uncle who
took him to his house. In those days training in the feats of war was
deemed necessary and physical education attracted much attention.
Accordingly, Hari Singh who was physically quite stout and strong and
impressive too in appearance when grew up, learnt the art of warfare. It
is said that he was indefatigable and could sit on horse back for long
hours. Hari Singh received
his preliminary education in languages of Gurmukhi, Urdu, Persian.
Baron Charles Hugel states that Hari Singh besides his general knowledge
about the statistics of many of the European states, was well versed in
Persian. He impressed him extremely with his overall achievements
