-The Kanhaiya Misl was founded by Sardar Jai Singh (1712-1793), a [[Sandhu]] [[Jat people|Jatt]] of the village of Kahna, 21&nbsp;km south-west of [[Lahore]] with his cousin [[Baghel Singh Sandhu]] from village [[Julke]] in the [[Majha]] region of Punjab. His father Bhai Khushhal Singh sold hay at Lahore. Jai Singh received the vows of the Khalsa at the hands of Nawab Kapur Singh and joined the derah or jatha of Sardar Amar Singh Kirigra.

-It is commonly believed that the name of the Misl, Kanhaiya, was derived from the name of Jai Singh's village, Kahna, although another explanation connects it with the [[Sardar]]'s own handsome appearance which earned him the epithet (Kahn) Kanhaiya, an endearing title also used for [[Lord Krishna]] a [[Hindu deity]]. The Kanhaiya Misl under Jai Singh became the dominant power in the [[Punjab region|Punjab]]. He seized a part of Riarki comprising the district of Gurdaspur and the upper portions of [[Amritsar]]. He first made his wife's village, Sohiari, in [[Amritsar district]], his headquarters from where he shifted to Batala and thence to Mukerian. His territories lay on both sides of the [[Beas River]] and [[Ravi River]].
-Jai Singh extended his territory up to Parol, about 70&nbsp;km south-east of [[Jammu]], and the hill chiefs of Kangra, [[Nurpur State|Nurpur]], Datarpur became his tributaries. In 1778 with the help of Mahan Singh Sukkarchakkia and Jassa Singh Ahluwalia, he banished Jassa Singh Ramgarhia to the desert region of [[Hansi]] and [[Hisar (city)|Hissar]] ([[Haryana]] Region).

-In 1781, Jai Singh and his brother Haqiqat Singh led an expedition to Jammu and received a sum of 3,00,000 rupees as tribute from its new ruler, Brij Raj Dev. On Jai Singh's death in 1793, at the age of 81, control of the Kanhaiya clan passed into the hands of his daughter-in-law Sada Kaur, as his son Gurbakhsh Singh had died before him. Sada Kaur whose daughter Mehtab Kaur was married to [[Ranjit Singh]] was instrumental in the Sukkarchakkia chief's rise to political power in the Punjab. The leader of another section of the Kanhaiya misl was Haqiqat Singh, son of Baghel Singh, a Sandhu Jatt, hailing from the village of Julka, near Kahna, the birthplace of Jai Singh. A brother and associate of Jai Singh in many of his campaigns of conquest, Haqiqat Singh was also his rival. Emerging an independent chief, he occupied Kalanaur, as Kahngarh, Adalatgarh, Pathankot and several other villages.
-In 1760, Haqiqat Singh destroyed Churiarivala and founded another village naming it Sangatpura and constructed a fort at Fatehgarh. Haqiqat Singh died in 1782 and his only son Jaimal Singh, then a minor, succeeded to his estates. Haqiqat Singh's granddaughter, Chand Kaur, was married to Prince Kharak Singh, eldest son of Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
-Jaimal Singh died in 1812, leaving S.chanda Singh and till now succers are living in Fatehgarh Churian
