Etymology and origin

During British Raj, historians like HA.Rose and Alexander Cunningham note an account of local bards (bhatts) history state, the clan descends from a Bhatti clan progenitor named Sidhu Rao, whom had maternal alliance with Gill Jats.[7] Their descendants are thus the Sidhu Jats.[7] [8]

History

Sikh period

The Sidhu clan held sway in the Ferozepur area in the late medieval period.[9] Chaudhary Phul of the Sidhu-Brar clan established the Phulkian Misl, one of the misls (confederacies) of the Sikh Confederacy. His descendants, the Phulkian Maharajas, became the kings of the princely states of Faridkot, Jind, Nabha, Malaudh and Patiala.[10][11]

Historically, the city was founded by Firoz Shah Tughlaq III (1351-1388 A.D). It was earlier an important centre between Delhi and Lahore (Sharma, 1983: 17). Firoz Shah III constructed the Ferozepore fort around 1370 (GoP, 2000: 13). The Ain-i-Akbari also refers to 'Ferozepore' as the capital of Multan province. After a series of successions by Sidhu Jatts and the Bhangi Misl, the district became 'the advanced outpost of British India in the direction of the Sikh power' in 1839 (Imperial Gazetteer of India, 1908a, b: 440-441). Finally, in 1846, it formally became part of the British Empire.
