Harsa Singh, son of Sham Singh, was a distinguished soldier in the Khalsa army, and commanded one of the regiments of the French brigade. He had the rank of General under Maharaja Sher Singh. In 1849 he espoused the national cause and fought on the wrong side at Multan, thus forfeiting a jagir of twenty-five thousand rupees. In 1857 he took service in the nth Bengal Lancers as a Rasaldar and proved himself a gallant soldier. He retired in 1860 with the rank of Sardar, and a pension of Rs. 600 per annum. One-half of this has been continued to his son Gulab Singh, at the head of the family since Sardar Harsa Singh's death in 1887. The Sardar was a Viceregal Darbari of the Amritsar district, and resided at Sultan Wind. Gulab Singh is Chief Lambardar of the village. He is a man of good presence, high intelligence, and possesses considerable local influence. His brother Jaswant Singh is a Rasaldar in the nth Bengal Lancers, and for his services in connection with the Afghan Boundary Commission received the Order of Merit. Jaswant Singh's son Narain Singh is serving as a Dafadar in his father's Regiment. The family owns about two hundred and fifty acres of land. RANA LAHNA SINGH OF MANASWAL. Jhauar Chand.
