The Battle of Jammu was fought between Sikhs and the Dogra Rajputs in 1808. The Dogras were defeated and Hukam Singh Chimni a khatri captured the Jammu city along with the Sikh khatri general Hari Singh Nalwa(uppal). This was a great success for the Sikhs as now their route to Kashmir was open. In 1820, but Sikhs have to install Maharaja Gulab Singh as the king of Jammu and as a vassal to Maharaja Ranjit Singh because of the growing revolt (led by Mian Dido Singh Jamwal and Chib Rajputs) against Sikhs.
