Hari Singh Dhillon (Bhangi)
Built the Bhangi misl into the strongest of the confederacy, with lands from Lahore to Multan. The great Zamzama gun was captured by the Bhangis and long known as the Bhangian wali top.
Hari Singh Dhillon, of Panjwar near Amritsar, was a nephew of Bhuma Singh, founder of the Bhangi misl. The misl took its name from its leaders' liking for bhang, cannabis.
Under Hari Singh in the 1750s and 1760s the Bhangi misl became the strongest in the Sikh confederacy, holding Lahore, Amritsar, Gujrat, Sialkot and lands as far as Multan and Jhang. He built the Bhangian da Qila in Amritsar.
The Bhangis captured the great gun Zamzama, cast for Ahmad Shah Abdali, which became known as the Bhangian wali Toap. Hari Singh was killed in 1765 fighting the Phulkian chiefs; his successors held Lahore until Ranjit Singh took it from them in 1799.
