Haria Singh Minhas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The village of Haripur which is just 2.5 kilometres from Adampur, initially belonged to Haria Singh Minhas of the village of Damunda. This village was however surrendered, because of the criminal charges brought up against Haria Singh of molesting labourer women, on the direction of Lehna Singh Majithia, the in charge of Droli Kalan during the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Today, although the owners of lands in these villages are mostly Jats (including the Jawandas) because of the enforcement of new Land Laws by the British in the year 1920, the land revenue record even today stands in the name of the Minhas Rajputs of Droli, Chakkiaria & Damunda.
