Misls of the Sikh Confederacy
A 1780 map of the Punjab Region shows the relative positions of the Sikh Misls and other states.

Phulkian Misl was a Sikh misl named after Choudhary Phul Singh.[1][full citation needed][2]

History

The Sidhu-Brar Jats were the founders and rulers of this misl.[3] Maharaja Ala Singh, Maharaja Amar Singh, Raja Sahib Singh, Raja Gajpat Singh, Maharaja Hamir Singh all are rulers of Phulkian misl (Bhadaur Barnala, Sangrur). The area of this misl is in region Patiala, Nabha, Jind.[4] and existed until the British defeated them.

Status as a Misl

The Phulkian misl was not a member of the Dal Khalsa having been excommunicated from the formation.[5] Some historians, such as Kirpal Singh, claim the Phulkians were never truly a "Misl" at all.[6]
