Phulkian Misl

Phulkian Misl was a Sikh misl named after Choudhary Phul Singh.[1][2] Maharaja Ala Singh, Maharaja Amar Singh, Raja Sahib Singh, Raja Gajpat Singh, Maharaja Hamir Singh all are rulers of Phulkian misl (Bhadaur Barnala, Sangrur). It was a Jat misl, (though in Sikhism the caste system was abolished). The area of this misl is in region Patiala, Nabha, Jind.[3] and existed until the British defeated them. The Phulkian misl was not a member of the Dal Khalsa having been excommunicated from the formation.[4]
