Chajja Singh Bhangi

The Bhangi Misal was founded by Chajja Singh, a companion of Banda Singh and said to have taken pahul from Guru Gobind Singh. As one of the largest Sikh misals of the period they established an independent government in their territories, which included Amritsar, Gujrat, Chiniot and, part of Lahore city. During an attack on the Afghan arsenal near Lahore in 1762, they captured the famous gun “Zamzama” one of the largest cannons made in the sub continent. It was also called the “toap-i-bhangian” and was later taken by Ranjit Singh to Lahore where it is today displayed.
