There are contradictions within the two references. While one states that Hari Singh was killed "dishonorably" from behind, the other source says that Hari Singh died due to internal wounds from an Afghan cannon ball launched by Dost Mohammad Khan's army. So what are we to believe?

Someone with more expertise than me needs to review the edits by User:24.108.182.49. All the other edits from this user are nonsense or vandal. The text inserted sounds authoritative, but its hard to tell. --Vees 03:59, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
I don't get this:
Nalwa was dishonourably murdered in an ambush from behind.
and then you say:
He died when 60,000 troops attacked his fort. The sikhs told him that they were about to attack as they thought he had died however he was still alive.
Which was it? And what Sikhs told him that that they were about to attack? Attack who? Whose side were they on? And did you mean Baron Charles Hugel?

We need to work on this article with info for this famous and great general.
No offence, but he was very feared and loved, but none of his exploits are fully mentioned or acknowledged.
We need some more info on his background.
He was a powerful Khatri warlord.

[edit] Nalwa article
Okay I also believe he was amazing, but we need to cite some references with the quoted material or else people are going to question its authenticity. Whoever put up that amazing quote from the British newspaper needs to also give the source so that it validates the article more. Without citing references, the article will lack strength.
Also, I am going to contact his descendants (the Nalwa Family) and see if they can furnish any additional info. I should be in Punjab this April-May, so I'll pay them a visit.
