The '''Battle of Jammu''' was fought between Sikhs and the Dogra Rajputs in 1808. The Dogras lost Jammu and Hukam Singh Chimni captured the Jammu city. This was a great success for the Sikhs as now their route to [[Kashmir]] was open. Kashmir was later on conquered by Sikhs under [[Misr Diwan Chand]] the Army chief of [[Ranjit Singh|Maharaja Ranjit Singh]] in 1819. In 1820, the Sikhs had to install [[Gulab Singh]] as the Raja of Jammu and as a vassal to [[Ranjit Singh]] because of the growing revolt (led by [[Mian Dido Jamwal]] and Chib Rajputs) of the Dogra Rajputs against the Sikhs. Gulab Singh would go on to establish the [[Dogra dynasty]].<ref name=eos>{{cite web |url=http://www.learnpunjabi.org/eos/index.aspx<br />
