-Gujjar Singh was the son of a cultivator, Nattha Singh Dhillon. Nattha Singh was a [[Jat]] farmer who lived on a fertile farm near the city of [[Lahore]] as a cultivator and had converted to [[Sikhism]] from [[Hinduism]]. Gujjar Singh received the vows of the [[Khalsa]] at the hands of his maternal grandfather, Gurbaksh Singh, who presented him with a horse and recruited him as a member of his [[jatha]] (An armed band of Sikh warriors). As Gurbaksh Singh had grown too old to lead his band of [[Khalsa]] warriors, he made Gujjar Singh head of his band; soon, the band was united with the force of Hari Singh, head of the [[Bhangi Misl]], He and Gujjar Singh set out on a career of conquest and plunder. In 1765, Gujjar Singh along with his wife Kanhaiya Kaur, adopted the son of Gurbaksh Singh and Soba Singh, Lahina Singh. Gujjar Singh allowed his adopted son Lahina Singh to take possession of the city and the fort, and he himself occuppied the eastern part the city. Then, Gujjar Singh erected a huge part of the city and also Gujjar Singh erected a mud fortress and invited people to settle there. He also sank the wells to supply water for the population. A [[Lord Shiva]] [[Mandir]] was built for the [[Hindus]] and a [[mosque]] was also built for the [[Muslims]]. The area is the site of present-day railway station of [[Lahore]] and it still bears his name and is known as [[Qila Gujar Singh]].
