BHADAUR, a small town 25 km northwest of Barnala (30°22`N, 75°32`E) in Sangrur district of the Punjab, is sacred to. Guru Gobind Singh, who came here from Dina in December 1705 following the chase. The area was then an uninhabited jungle land, and it was only after the village ofBhadaur was founded by Baba Ala Singh, eighteenth century Sikh warrior and noble, that a shrine commemorating the Guru`s visit was established here.
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.
GOPAL, RAJA (Raj Singh according to some sources), of Guler, mentioned in Sikh chronicles as well as in Guru Gobind Singh`s Bachitra Ndtak, was one of the hill chieftains who fought against the Guru in the battle of Bharigam in 1688. After the defeat of the rajas, Gopal seems to have sought peace and friendship with Guru Gobind Singh. When Husain Khan was despatched in 1696 by Dilawar Khan, the Mughal chief, towards the hills to chastise the recalcitrant princes, Raja Gopal, not being able to pay the heavy tribute levied upon him, prepared to fight.
