The Singh Krora or Karorsinghia Misl, also known as the Panjgarhia Misl, was a Sikh misl.^[1]

History

Sirdar Karora Singh Virk, resident of Barki (district Lahore) was the first chief of this Misl; earlier, Karora Singh was the deputy of the jatha led by Sirdar Sham Singh of village Narli (district Lahore); after the death of Sham Singh in 1739, Sirdar Karam Singh Uppal (of village Pechgarh) became the chief of this Jatha; he too died in early days of 1748 and Karora Singh became the chief of the Jatha.^[2]

In March 1748, when the Misls were formed, his jatha became a Misl; then this jatha came to known as Karorsinghia Misl. Karora Singh had the command of 7-8 thousand horsemen; his first possessions were Hariana and Sham Churasi (in Hoshiarpur district); Karora Singh died in the Battle of Taravari in 1761.

Karora Singh was succeeded by Baghel Singh Dhaliwal of Jhabal (district Amritsar); Baghel Singh was fond of adventures; he left the Majha area and launched his actions in Karnal, Saharanpur and other areas of Gang-Doab; he was one of those five generals who unfurled blue Khalsa flag on Red Fort at Delhi on 11 March 1783.

Baghel Singh had an army of thirty thousand soldiers; the ground where his army used to pitch its tents is still known as Tees Hazari (literally: associated with thirty thousands). Baghel Singh died in 1802; he was succeeded by his wife Rattan Kaur.
