Kanwar Kashmira Singh (1819 – 7.5.1844) was the son of (Maharaja) Ranjit Singh and (Maharani) Daya Kaur. Kanwar Kashmira Singh was the administrator of Sialkot. After the assassination of Maharaja Sher Singh, he tried to achieve power at the Lahore Darbar but could not succeed. In May 1844, he went to Baba Bir Singh’s Dera at Naurangabad, to seek his help. Hira Sinh Dogra ordered an attack on the Dera of Baba Bir Singh at Naurangabad, on May 7, 1844. During this attack Baba Bir Singh, Atar Singh Sandhanwalia and Kanwar Kashmira Singh were killed.
