History Of Sheikhupura

Sikh's Reign

In the middle of the 18^th century, Sikhs were ruling this area. In the last decade of the 18^th century, Arbail Sigh and Amer Singh were the rulers of Sheikhupura. Both of these were involved in robberies in this area. People from Sheikhupura requested Maharajah Ranjeet Singh to defeat them which the maharaja accepted.

In the end both Arbial and Amer singh were forced to evacuate the Sheikhupura Fort and all their property were taken by the Maharajah. After this win, the Maharajah gave this area to Khawar Karrak Singh. After the death of Karrak Singh (1840), Rani Jandah became the ruler. She was a very clever woman. She went to under surveillance by the English in August 1847 along with her brother in Sheikhupura Fort.

In March 29, 1849 the English took hold of whole the Punjab.
