In 1824, Hari Singh Nalwa launched an expedition against local Pashtun tribesmen, which led to the Battle of Nara.[7] Local Pashtun tribesmen defeated Hari Singh's 8,000-strong force in this battle after inflicting more than 500 casualties on him.[8][2][unreliable source?] Hari suffered numerous wounds.[9]

The Battle

In 1824 A.D., Hari Singh Nalwa went to the Gandgar highlands, where Muhammad Khan Tareen and other rebellious leaders had sought sanctuary. In 1822, the Sikhs failed to reduce Srikot after a hard-fought fight at Sari at the base of the mountain. They tried again in 1824 but failed.[10][failed verification][11] The Mashwanis, Saidkhani and Utmanzais bravely repelled the 8,000-strong Sikh force at Nara, which lies at the mouth of a trail to Srikot.[2][unreliable source?][12] A white pillar, subsequently constructed by Major Abbot, recalls their victory. Hari Singh was hit by a stone thrown from the village walls and rolled into the valley below, where he remained for a long time unconscious and unnoticed.[13][failed verification]

Aftermath

The Mashwani and Saidkhani Pashtuns repulsed Hari Singh Nalwa and he retreated to Haripur with heavy casualties. When Ranjit heard the news of Hari Singh’s defeat at Nara, he immediately collected a large enforcement up to Hazara and defeated the tribesmen at Sirikot hills and after staying at Sirikot for two nights, Ranjit Singh marched to Tarbela and defeated the Utmanzais of Khabbal. Ranjit Singh secured the Sirikot hills to his 500 garrison and returned victorious taking Muhammad Khan Tarin back with him.[14]
