The Battle of Guler was fought between Sikhs and the Mughal empire in 1696. Amid warfare in the Northern Punjab against Sikh Guru Gobind Singh, mughal commander Dilawar Khan's son Rustam Khan was routed crossing the Satluj. Dilawar Khan then sent General Hussain Khan against rebel Raja Gopal of Guler state and his sikh allies. In the battle with Guru Gobind Singh and Raja Ram Singh of Jaswan near Guler, southeast of Pathankot, Hussain Khan was defeated and killed.
