History
As per story the village was founded by Bains Jatts and the headquarters of this tribe as well as 16 villages that belongs to this area. [2] they say their ancestor Bains came here from Pothohar region of Punjab during the reign of Firoz Shah Tughlaq. [3] [4]
During the reign of Akbar under the emperors of Delhi, prior to the Sikh contest, the Jullundur Doab was divided into 36 parganas, in Hoshiarpur Zamindaris were held by Ghorewah Rajpúts of Garhshankar,( Bains Jatts of Mahilpur, Gill Jatts of Budipind and Sahota Jatts of Garhdiwala) and(Jullundur) city by Patháns. [5]
The Sirdárs of Alawalpur are Bains Jats, originally of 5. Máhalpur, in Hoshiarpur, and their family has belonged to this Doáb from time immemorial; but it rose to eminence through its connection with the Nábha State, and in history is generally called Jalawála, from Jala, a village in Nábha, about four miles south- west of Sirhind. In 1759 Chaudhri Guláb Rái Bains is said to have made himself master of Jalbhah and two neighbouring villages, near Adampur, after which he attached himself to the Nábha family, and took up his residence in that State. He had five sons, of whom we are concerned with only two, Amar Singh and Himmat Singh.Amar Singh's son was the General Rám Singh who, it is said, was employed by the Sikh Government, in 1845, to induce the Nabha Rája to prove false to the English (The Rájás of the Punjab, pp. 411-414). He was afterwards employed as Judge (adálati) at Lahore and Gujrát. He died in 1852, and his grandson, with other members of the family, resides at Jala, in Nábha.
Himmat Singh was employed in various negotiations for the greater Phúlkián Chiefs with the British authorities, Mr. Metcalfe and Colonel Ochterlony, which he conducted with such skill that he acquired valuable jagírs, not only in Nabha, but also in Patiala and Jind. Abont 1812, the Rája of Núbha introduced him to Ranjit Singh, who gave him the ilága of Aláwalpur, which had lapsed. He also got Datárpur, Khera, Acharwal and Kutahra in Hoshiarpur and Machhiwára in Ludhiana, and subsequently jágírs in Multan and Peshawar, besides Kalál Mazara' now under riyasat Patiala and other villages in tahsil Samrála, which Fatah Singh, Ahluwalia, gave him. (1) Part of this last grant is still in the family. Albel Singh, eldest son of Himmat Singh, was killed in the Jhang campaign in 1816. When Himmat Singh died, in 1829, his jágirs were largely curtailed through the influence of the Jammu family, and what was left went to Achal Singh, son of, and Kishan Singh, brother of, Albel Singh, who resided, the former at Aliwalpur, the latter at Dhogri. Kishen Singh died in 1841 (?) in the Kohát campaign, and his jágírs were resumed, as his son, Basáwa Singh, was a minor and could not discharge his duties. But Basawa Singh retained some of the Ludhiana estates, where his widow, Mussammát Bishan Kaur, has a small revenue-free-grant in Kalál Mazara'a. Dhogri went for a time through the influence of the Shaikhs to Abdus-Samad Khán, an Afghán, of Dhogri. On the introduction of British rule, Sirdár Achal Singh was exempted from supplying eighty sowárs which he formerly provided, and his jagire were reduced to 6 villages, assessed at Rs. 9,180 at the regular settlement. On his death, in 1857, his sons, Sirdars Partáb Singh and Ajit Singh, were given a pension of Rs. 2,000, which was subsequently (1874) changed into a grant of three-quarters of the revenue of Alawalpur, now worth Rs. 2,065 per annum, to descend in perpetuity to the male heirs of Sirdar Achal Singh. These are now represented by Achar Singh, son of Partáb Singh (b.1875) and Gurbachan (b. 1891) and Gurcharan (b.1895) grandsons of Ajit Singh.
Sardar Himmat Singh Singh also Founded Famous Jallianwala Bagh it was known as Bagh Sardara Himmat Singh Jallewalia ( designated due to Jalla Jagir in Nabha Riyasat). the. It came to be known as Jallewalia da bagh and at last Jallianwala after 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre as per the professor Pyara singh Padam's Sankhep Sikh itehas the bagh was purchased by Yadgar committee in 1923 for 5'65'000 rupees
() MacGregor (History of the Sikhs 1, 167) says: "Himmat Singh of Jilleewal, who was Vakeel of Maharaja Juswant Singh of Nábha, deserted from his master, and took service with the Mahárájá Ranjit Singh He became Wuzeer or prime minister, and received Alawalpur purgunah in jáger" This account is hardly consistent with the subsequent relations of the family to Nabha. The date according to MacGregor would be 1809. Mr. Barkley says the family property in Jala was confiscated when Himmat Singh left tho Nábha service, This supports MacGregor's story. The above is Sirdár Ajít Singh's sccount of the affair. [6] [7]
