Zorawar Army Trailer by ycsongs
Zorawar Singh Kahluria (1786-1841) was born in
Kahlur State in Bilaspur, Kahlur, Sikh Misl. In reference to his legacy of
conquests in the Himalayas including Ladakh, Tibet, Baltistan and Iskardu as
General and Wazir (prime minister), he has been refereed to by historians as
"Conqueror of Ladakh" and the "Napoleon of India".[1][2]
He was born to in a Dogra Rajput family of
Kahlur state in modern day Himachal Pradesh, they migrated to the Jammu region
where, on coming of age, Zorawar
took up service under Raja Jaswant Singhof Marmathi (modern Doda district). Zorawar Singh was employed by the
ambitious Maharaja Gulab Singh of Jammu and was placed under the commandant of
the Reasi fort (Bhimgarh fort). While delivering a routine message to the
Maharaja, Zorawar told him of the
financial waste occurring in the fort administration and boldly presented his
own scheme to effect savings.
Gulab Singh was impressed by Zorawar’s sincerity and appointed him
commandant of Reasi. As promised, the youth fulfilled his task and his grateful
ruler made him commissariat officer of all forts north of Jammu. He was later
made governor of Kishtwar and was given the title of Wazir (prime minister).[3]
Even though it was a newly conquered
region Zorawar had no trouble in
keeping the peace; many of the local Rajputs were recruited into his army. In
1835 the nearby region of Paddar was taken from Chamba (now in Himachal
Pradesh) in the course of a battle. Paddar later became known for its sapphire
mines. But this was a mere sideshow to General Zorawar Singh’s more famous expeditions, on which he had already
embarked in the previous year.
