History
[edit]Prior to thePartition of India,Mananwala was established in 1890 by Sardar Bahadur Kirpal Singh Mann, head of the famousJat SikhMann Sardars ofMughalchak,Gujranwala.[2]Initially consisting of five largeHaveliswithin a fortified perimeter,[3][4][5]Mananwala has now expanded into a sizeable city of more than 9 square kilometres and with a population of over 50,000 people. The ancestral territories of the Mann Sardars ofMughalchakalso includedQila Shabdev Singh,Qila Mihan Singh,Qila Didar Singh,andMaan.In reference to this family,Lepel H. Griffinfootnotes that "there is a saying, well known in the country, to the effect that three families in the Panjab, Attariwala, Mann, and Majithia, have possessed the greatest number of remarkable men. The Attariwala Sardars are brave and faithless. The Mann Sardars, handsome, gallant and true; the Majithias, wise and timid.”[6]
Hari Ram Guptaaccounts that in mid-eighteenth century, in order to establish and strengthen theSukerchakia Misl,Charat Singhmade four major matrimonial alliances, one of which was made with the Mann Sardars of Mughalchak.[7]Sardar "Charat Singh's sonMahan Singhwas married to the daughter of Sardar Jai Singh Mann of Mogalchak ".[8]Sardar Jai Singh Mann[9]was the Sardar of the Mughalchak Misal,[10]and led his forces alongside SardarCharat Singh,the Sardar of theSukerchakia Misl,in the military expeditions of Tsa Khel, Pindi Bhattiari, Gujrat, and Sialkot.[11][12]Sardar Jai Singh Mann, with his younger brothers, Sardar Nar singh Mann, Sardar Mana Singh Mann, and Sardar Pahar Singh Mann, also marched with his forces to Jammu with SardarMaha Singhwhen in 1780 the Sukerchakia and Mogalchak forces defeated Raja Brij Raj Deo.[13]The union of marriage between the SardarCharat Singh's son and Sardar Jai Singh Mann's daughter helped unite Mogalchaks and Sukerchakias, keeping in line with sardar Charat Singh's bid to strengthen the Sukerchakias misal.[14]Other key matrimonial alliances made by SardarCharat Singhwere as with the Sardars Sohel Singh and Sahib Singh of theBhangi Misl,and Sardar Dal Singh of Akālgarh.[15]
Lepel H. Griffinrecords that the Mann Sardars were very powerful and continued to hold great prestige and fame even after the rise of MaharajaRanjit Singh,with "at one point there were no fewer than twenty-two members of it holding key military appointments of great trust and honour".[16]Griffin further articulates that MaharajaRanjit Singh"often used to say that the Man Sardars were his" Wari Ka Tewar "," interpreted by Griffin as either 'the jewels of his court' or 'his best suit of clothes'.[17]
The Mann Sardars were very much at the centre of, and fought both theAnglo-Sikh Warsbetween 1845 and 1849. General S. Rattan Singh Mann and Sardar Kahn Singh Mann led their own brigades of artillery, infantry and cavalry during the battles of Sobraon,Ferozeshah,Mudki,and Aliwal.[18]A letter during theSecond Anglo-Sikh Warwas intercepted by Captain James Abbott, the Assistant Resident, on deputation to Huzara, on 16th August 1848 from SardarChattar Singh Attariwallato Sardar Budh Singh Mann in which Sardar Chhatar Singh stated that "I raised this mutiny in the name of the family of Maun"[19]
The Mann Sardars of Mughalchak and Mananwala have several recognisedcadet brancheswhich are the once powerful houses of Bhagga under Sardar Amar Singh Mann, Ramnagar, Malwa, Manawala in Amritsar, and include Sardar Kahn Singh Mann.[20]Denzil Ibbetsonnotes that “the ‘mirasis’ or bards of the Mán Sardars of Mughalchak-Mananwala state that the whole of the Mán, Bhular and half the Her tribe of Rajputs were the earliest kshatriya immigrants from Rajputana to the Punjab. Due to which, the Mán, Bhúlar, and Her tribes (section 435) are known as theaslor ‘original’.”[21]
