#Pahuwind is very old Village
According to local population, It was found by a man named Pahuwa nearly 450 years ago.Baba Deep Singh was born on 26 January 1682 to his father Bhagta, and his mother Jioni in Pahuwind. ImageImage
His nephew General Sardar Gulab Singh Pahuwind of Sikh Empire (died 1854)

lived in this village and was a famous general in the army of
Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Image
Karam Singh and his three brothers were among the Sikhs who overran and took possession of the Jalandhar Doab in the latter half of the eighteenth century. They secured an estate at Saranpur worth Rs. 8,000, which they held during their lifetime. Image
All the brothers, with the exception of Karam Singh and in 1806, soon after Gulab Singh had succeeded to the estate, Ranjit Singh conquered the plain country of the Doab, and Gulab Singh retired to his native village of Povind.
He then entered Ranjit Singh's
service, and received this village in jagir, with the rank of Adjutant. He served with distinction under Misar Diwan Chand Image
at Nurpur and in Kashmir, and on the termination of the latter campaign was made Commandant and received the village of Sidhu in jagir. After the capture of Multan in 1818 Image
he was promoted to the rank of Colonel; and did such good service the next year at Mankera, that he received the grant of Akbarpur, near Gogaira, worth Rs. 500, with an elephant and valuable khilats. Gulab Singh was stationed at Peshawar for some years, Image
and fought in most of the battles against
Ali Akbar Khan and in Pic Dost Mahomed Khan. Image
In the first Peshawar Campaign he discovered a ford on the Indus, and led his troops over in the van of the army, to Ranjit Singh's great satisfaction.
In 1826 he received command of three infantry and two cavalry regiments, with a troop of horse artillery; and the same year his son Ala Singh👇 Image
entered the service and was made Commandant under his father, with an independent jagir.
In 1839, when the regular army was first formed into brigades, Gulab Singh Pahuwind was made General, and held his rank and brigade throughout the following reign of #MaharajahKharakSingh. Image
In 1837 Gulab Singh was sent to Gujaranwala with orders to confiscate the property of Sardar #HariSinghNalwa, Image
who had been killed at Peshawar, and whose four sons were fighting about the succession. He drove Arjan Singh and Panjab Singh out of their fortified house; threatened to hang the former, and took possession of all the property and estates.
Gulab Singh took no part in the Satlaj Campaign, his troops remaining in Lahore to protect the Maharaja; and in April 1847 he was, at the recommendation of the Resident, appointed Governor of Peshawar Image
and, being at this time the senior General, placed in command of all the troops at that station. The elevation of Gulab Singh to this important post was a great source of gratification to the Khalsa Army,for the brave old man 👇 Image
was much loved and respected by the troops. He was created a Sardar; and in a Darbar held at Lahore on the 26th November 1847 received the honorary title of Bahadar. Sardar Gulab Singh fulfilled the duties of his new appointment with ability and judgment; and 👇
when the Multan rebellion broke out he gave his most cordial assistance to Major G. Lawrence, then in charge at Peshawar, to preserve the peace of the district. For six months, while the insurrectionary movement was spreading more and more widely over the country, the influence👇
of Gulab Singh and his son and deputy, Colonel Ala Singh, kept the excited Sikh soldiery to their allegiance; but when Sardar Chatar Singh approached Peshawar the troops could no longer be restrained and broke into open mutiny.👇
Major Lawrence held his post till all was hopelessly lost, and then retired to Kohat. Gulab Singh and Ala Singh would have accompamied him, but the General was too infirm to move quickly; and it was finally decided that he should retire to the fort of Shamirgarh,👇
where he might make terms with the rebels. But this gallant officer refused any terms that would compromise his honour. Both he and his son remained loyal; and the Sikh army, finding that they could not be seduced by bribes or terrified by threats, kept them under👇
restraint till the close of the campaign, when the victory of the British restored them to liberty.
On the annexation of the Panjab, the whole of Sardar Gulab Singh's personal jagirs, to the value of Rs. 17,500, were confirmed to him for life, as were those of his two sons, Ala Singh and Lahna Singh, worth Rs. 3,000 and Rs. 1,050 o-spectively.👇
The father and his sons are now all dead. Gulab Singh and Ala Singh died in 1854. In 1857 Hari Singh, a servant of the late Sardar, gave information to Government that Rs. 55,000 would be found buried in a house which had belonged to Gulab Singh,👇
and on search being made the money was found and placed in the Treasury. It was claimed by Nand Kaur, the widow of Gulab Singh, and the widows of Lahna Singh, who obtained a decree for the interest of the money in equal shares.👇
This money afterwards passed to Kishan Singh, who squandered it. His son Suchet Singh lives in comparative obscurity at Povind, Tabsil Kasur, Lahore.
He served for a short time with the
1lth Bengal Lancers.
