Nabha : the ruler & his state (situated fourteen miles NW of Patiala) which, with Jind & Patiālā, formed the Phulkian princely states created in 1763 after the capture of Sirhind by the Sikh Confederacy. Their rulers descended from Phul, a Sikh descendant of Jaisal Bhatti, the Rajput founder of Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. Hamīr Singh became its first ruler (see Jāts). In 1809 Nabha came under the protection of the E.I. Co. For its whole-hearted loyalty to its British masters during the Mutiny of 1857, Nabha was rewarded with a piece of the usurped territories. Hira Singh (b.1843) succeeded his father in 1871 as Raja of Nabha. As reward for joining the British in the Afghan wars of 1878-80, he was made Hon. Colonel in British Army; G.C.I.E. (Knight Grand Commander of the Indian Empire) in 1903, & G.C.S.I (Knight Grand Commander of the Star of India) 1904. This qualified him for the Advisory Council of Notables. In 1911 he was made Maharaja by King George at his Grand Durbar in Delhi. Hira Singh built one Nabha House in Delhi & another opposite Sannihit Sarovar in Kurukshetra (q.v.). Later Nabha became a constituent state of PEPSU (Patiala & East Punjab States’ Union). [Buckland & other sources]
