Late Maharaja Colonel Sir Harinder Singh Brar was the last ruler of the former Faridkot State. He was born on 29.01.1915 and was the eldest son of Maharaja H.S. Farjand-i- Saddat-Nishan Hazrat-i-Kesar-i-Hind Maharaja Brij Inder Singh Brar Bans Bahadur Raja of Faridkot. Raja Harinder Singh Brar died on 16.10.1989. His only son Tikka Harmohinder Singh died on 13.10.1981. Raja Harinder Singh Brar was survived by three daughters namely Rajkumari Amrit Kaur, Rajkumari Deepinder Kaur and Rajkumari Mahipinder Kaur. Father of Raja Harinder Singh Brar i.e. Maharaja Brij Inder Singh died in the year 1918. He was survived by his widow Maharani Mohinder Kaur, Raja Harinder Singh Brar and Kanwar Manjit Inder Singh. Raja Harinder Singh Brar succeeded by his three daughters as his son Tikka Harmohinder Singh had died earlier to his death. Kanwar Manjit Inder Singh was succeeded by Tikka Bharat Inder Singh, Rajkumari Devinder Kaur and thereafter Rajkumari Heminder Kaur. Wife of Raja Harinder Singh Brar had died during his life time, however she was alive on 01.06.1982 i.e. the date on which Raja Harinder Singh Brar is purported to have executed the alleged Will. Raja Harinder Singh Brar died on 16.10.1989 in Batra Hospital at Delhi. His dead body was brought to Faridkot and was cremated on 17.10.1989 with royal 5 of 547 ::: Downloaded on - 11-06-2020 14:06:01 ::: RSA Nos.2006, 1418 & 2176 of 2018 (O&M) 6 family traditions in Shahi Samadhan. [3]. On 20.10.1989, Board of Trustees and Executors assembled in the Palace known as Moti Mahal Qila Mubarik, Faridkot, where Sardar Umrao Singh Dhaliwal read over the contents of Will in the presence of Board of Trustees and Executors. Under the aforesaid Will, all the concerned persons are alleged to have occupied the position with which they were invested under the said Will. They passed resolution No.1 dated 20.10.1989. Board of Trustees alleged to have taken possession, control and management of the entire estate of deceased Raja Harinder Singh Brar with the assent of the Executors. The properties located in various revenue estates were mutated in the name of the Trust and the urban properties were also transferred in the name of the Trust. [4]. Last rites of Raja Harinder Singh Brar were performed on 26.10.1989 in Qila Mubarik, Faridkot, where Sardar Karnail Singh Doad proclaimed in the huge gathering that late Raja Harinder Singh Brar had executed a registered Will dated 01.06.1982, thereby bequeathing his entire properties in favour of Trust known as Maharwal Khewaji Trust with definite Board of Trustees for the benefit of public at large. [5]. On 14.10.1992, Rajkumari Amrit Kaur filed a suit for 6 of 547 ::: Downloaded on - 11-06-2020 14:06:01 ::: RSA Nos.2006, 1418 & 2176 of 2018 (O&M) 7 declaration that she is owner of 1/3rd share in the property as shown in the headnote of the plaint along with consequential relief of joint possession with defendants No.1 and 2. She further sought relief of injunction restraining the defendants from alienating the suit property by way of mortgage and exchange etc. At a subsequent stage, she also challenged the Will by way of amendment and in alternative prayer, claimed ownership of entire estate left by the deceased Raja Harinder Singh Brar on the basis of The Raja of Faridkot's Estate Act, 1948. The second suit was filed by Kanwar Manjit Inder Singh through LRs seeking inheritance of entire estate of deceased Raja Harinder Singh on the basis of Rule of Primogeniture, besides challenging the Will dated 01.06.1982 being null and void.

    y Graduate and post-graduate students of Punjab History have always felt greatly handicapped for want of a comprehensive history of Punjab under the British Raj. The present volume is primarily designed to fill that long-standing gap. The period 1849-1947 has been treated systematically in detail. The entire period has been divided in three volumes and every aspect of the period has been ex­ plored documented. The learned historian Dr. Shri Ram Sharma has observed in his forword that it can easily be recommended for refe­ rence and even for study to students of history of the Punjab under the British Rs. 100 Each Vol BY THE SAME AUTHOR 1.

Many of these Sikhs shaved their heads, freely smoked tobacco and hashish and were not particular about maintaing the five external symbols of the faith. In the absence of a centralized church and an attendant religious hierarchy, heterogeneity in religious beliefs, plurality of rituals, and diversity of life styles, were freely acknowledged. A pilgrimage to the Golden Temple could be supplemented with similar undertakings to the Ganges at Hardwar or the shrine of a Muslim saint. Attending seasonal festivals at Benares or Hardwar was in no way considered a transgression of prevailing Sikh doctrines, whatever teleological studies may like to assert today.
