BUDDHA SINGH, BHAI (d. 1774), a Brar Jatt who had seen the stirring days of Guru Gobind Singh, took part in January 1764 in the joint attack of Sikh sardars upon Sirhind. The town was seized from the Afghan governor, Zain Khan, who was killed in the action. Since none of the participating sardars was willing to accept possession of the town of Sirhind accurst from its association with the execution of Guru Gobind Singh *s two younger sons, it was assigned to Buddha Singh by a unanimous vote.
