    • 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 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.[4][dead link][5][page needed]
