Sirdar Jhanda Singh (? – 1774) was the son of Hari Singh Bhangi. In 1765, he became the chief of the Misl on the death of his father. He won a large territory for the Misl. In 1766, he attacked Multan. The chief of Multan agreed to share territory with him. In 1772, he attacked Multan again and captured the whole of it. He granted half of the territory to his companion Sirdar Lehna Singh Bhangi. After this he attacked Jhang, Khushab and Rasul Nagar. At Rasul Nagar, he seized the famous Zamzama gun from the Chatthas and brought it to Amritsar (later it came to be known as Bhangian Di Top). Also see: Bhangi Misl. Sirdar Jhanda Singh established a bazaar and a garden at Amritsar; even today it is known after his name. In 1774, he was killed in a battle fought between Bhangi Misl and a joint army of Kanhaiya and Sukkarchakkia Misls. Sirdar Jhanda Singh remained the chief of the Misl for seven years only but he made great achievement.
