<p class="C1">&#65279&#256KIL D&#256S, an eighteenth-century head of the Hand&#257l&#299 sect of Ja&#7751&#7693i&#257l&#257 in Amritsar district of the Punjab, also known as Haribhagat Nirañja&#7751&#299&#257, was an inveterate enemy of the Sikhs. Gi&#257n&#299 Gi&#257n Si&#7749gh, <i>Shamsher <u>Kh</u>&#257ls&#257</i>, describes him as "&#256kul D&#257s who basked in the name of Haribhagat. " He was a State informer and revelled in spying on the Sikhs. He had  many of them arrested and executed. Most prominent among his victims were Bh&#257&#299 T&#257r&#363 Si&#7749gh and Bh&#257&#299 Mat&#257b Si&#7749gh M&#299r&#257&#7749ko&#7789&#299&#257. On his information, Ad&#299n&#257 Beg <u>Kh</u>&#257n, governor of the Punjab, in 1758, despatched him along with D&#299w&#257n H&#299r&#257 Mall against Sikhs, reportedly assembled in the neighbourhood of Ad&#299n&#257nagar, in present-day Gurd&#257spur district. In the fierce battle that took place near Q&#257d&#299&#257&#7749, D&#299w&#257n H&#299r&#257 Mall was killed but &#256kil D&#257s escaped. At the open assembly at Amritsar on the occasion of D&#299v&#257l&#299, in October 1761, the Sarbatt <u>Kh</u>&#257ls&#257 adopted a <i>gurmat&#257</i> or resolution to the effect that they must punish &#256kil D&#257s for his Sikh-baiting. Information leaked out to &#256kil D&#257s who forthwith despatched messengers to Ahmad Sh&#257h Durr&#257n&#299 seeking his help and protection in consideration of his previous services. Sikhs besieged Ja&#7751&#7693i&#257l&#257 in January 1762 and would have captured the town but the wily Hand&#257l&#299 suspended shanks of beef from the fort walls. This was a ruse he tried to exploit the religious scruples of the besiegers and make them retire from the scene. They did lift the siege and dispersed towards Sirhind.</p>਍㰀瀀 挀氀愀猀猀㴀∀䌀㄀∀㸀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀渀戀猀瀀㬀☀⌀㈀㔀㘀欀椀氀 䐀☀⌀㈀㔀㜀猀 栀愀搀 昀椀最甀爀攀搀 瀀爀漀洀椀渀攀渀琀氀礀 椀渀 琀栀攀 攀瀀椀猀漀搀攀 漀昀 琀栀攀 洀愀爀琀礀爀搀漀洀 漀昀 䈀栀☀⌀㈀㔀㜀☀⌀㈀㤀㤀 吀☀⌀㈀㔀㜀爀☀⌀㌀㘀㌀ 匀椀☀⌀㜀㜀㐀㤀最栀 椀渀 ㄀㜀㐀㔀⸀ 吀漀 焀甀漀琀攀 刀愀琀愀渀 匀椀☀⌀㜀㜀㐀㤀最栀 䈀栀愀☀⌀㜀㜀㐀㤀最☀⌀㌀㘀㌀Ⰰ 㰀椀㸀倀爀☀⌀㈀㔀㜀挀栀☀⌀㈀㤀㤀渀 倀愀渀琀栀 倀爀愀欀☀⌀㈀㔀㜀猀栀㰀⼀椀㸀Ⰰ ∀伀渀挀攀 琀栀攀 最漀瘀攀爀渀漀爀 漀昀 䰀愀栀漀爀攀 愀猀欀攀搀 栀椀猀 洀攀渀Ⰰ 昀爀漀洀 眀栀攀爀攀 搀漀 琀栀攀 匀椀欀栀猀 漀戀琀愀椀渀 琀栀攀椀爀 渀漀甀爀椀猀栀洀攀渀琀㼀 䤀 栀愀瘀攀 搀攀戀愀爀爀攀搀 琀栀攀洀 昀爀漀洀 愀氀氀 漀挀挀甀瀀愀琀椀漀渀猀⸀ 吀栀攀礀 爀攀愀氀椀稀攀 渀漀 琀愀砀攀猀⸀ 吀栀攀礀 搀漀 渀漀琀 昀愀爀洀Ⰰ 渀漀爀 愀爀攀 琀栀攀礀 愀氀氀漀眀攀搀 琀漀 搀漀 戀甀猀椀渀攀猀猀 漀爀 樀漀椀渀 瀀甀戀氀椀挀 攀洀瀀氀漀礀洀攀渀琀⸀ 䤀 栀愀瘀攀 猀琀漀瀀瀀攀搀 愀氀氀 漀昀昀攀爀椀渀最猀 琀漀 琀栀攀椀爀 瀀氀愀挀攀猀 漀昀 眀漀爀猀栀椀瀀⸀ 一漀 瀀爀漀瘀椀猀椀漀渀猀 漀爀 猀甀瀀瀀氀椀攀猀 愀爀攀 愀挀挀攀猀猀椀戀氀攀 琀漀 琀栀攀洀⸀ 圀栀礀 搀漀 琀栀攀礀 渀漀琀 搀椀攀 漀昀 猀栀攀攀爀 猀琀愀爀瘀愀琀椀漀渀㼀 䴀礀 琀爀漀漀瀀猀 戀愀爀 琀栀攀椀爀 眀愀礀⸀ 吀栀攀礀 猀攀愀爀挀栀 昀漀爀 琀栀攀洀 愀渀搀 琀栀攀礀 欀椀氀氀 琀栀攀洀 眀栀攀爀攀 琀栀攀礀 猀攀攀 琀栀攀洀⸀ 䤀 栀愀瘀攀 戀甀爀渀琀 搀漀眀渀 攀渀琀椀爀攀 瘀椀氀氀愀最攀猀 眀椀琀栀 匀椀欀栀 瀀漀瀀甀氀愀琀椀漀渀猀⸀ 䤀 栀愀瘀攀 搀攀猀琀爀漀礀攀搀 琀栀攀椀爀 爀攀洀漀琀攀猀琀 欀椀渀⸀ 䤀 栀愀瘀攀 昀攀爀爀攀琀攀搀 琀栀攀洀 漀甀琀 漀昀 琀栀攀 栀漀氀攀猀 愀渀搀 猀氀愀甀最栀琀攀爀攀搀 琀栀攀洀⸀ 吀栀攀 䴀甀㰀甀㸀最栀㰀⼀甀㸀愀氀猀 愀爀攀 栀愀眀欀猀㬀 琀栀攀 匀椀欀栀猀 愀爀攀 氀椀欀攀 焀甀愀椀氀⸀ 嘀愀猀琀 渀甀洀戀攀爀猀 漀昀 琀栀攀洀 栀愀瘀攀 戀攀攀渀 攀渀猀渀愀爀攀搀 愀渀搀 欀椀氀氀攀搀⸀ 一漀 漀渀攀 挀愀渀 氀椀瘀攀 眀椀琀栀漀甀琀 昀漀漀搀⸀ 䤀 欀渀漀眀 渀漀琀 栀漀眀 琀栀攀 匀椀欀栀猀 猀甀爀瘀椀瘀攀 眀椀琀栀漀甀琀 椀琀㼀✀㰀⼀瀀㸀ഀഀ
<p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220Haribhagat Nirañja&#7751&#299&#257, who was a sworn foe of the Sikhs answered, 'There are Sikhs in this world who would not eat until they have fed their brethren. They may themselves go without clothes and food, but cannot bear their comrades' distress. They will pass the cold season by fireside and send them their own clothes. Some will sweat to grind corn and have it sent to them. They will do the roughest chores to earn a small wage for their sake. They migrate to distant places to eke out money for their brothers in exile.
