Arjan Singh Nalwa

Arjan Singh Nalwa (died 1848) was the youngest son of Sardar Hari Singh Nalwa and a minor jagirdar and rebel who refused to surrender to British rule in Punjab after the conclusion of the Second Anglo-Sikh War. He locked himself up in his estate in Gujranwala with 100 of his men and fought off a party sent by the Lahore Darbar to subdue him. Finally a company of Skinner's Horse was sent to bring him in, but he escaped his estate in time and died on the run a few years later. His property was confiscated by the British.
