Patiala State was a kingdom and princely state in British India, and one of the Phulkian States, that acceded to the Union of India upon Indian independence and partition in 1947. The state was founded by Ala Singh in 1762.[2][3] Patiala State was the largest and most important princely state in the Punjab Province.[4] The state's ruler, the Maharaja of Patiala, was entitled to a 17-gun salute and held precedence over all other princes in the Punjab Province during the British Raj.[2] The state was ruled by Jats of Sidhu clan of Sikh religion.[5]

North of the Satlej the clan has lost its importance, and the war of 1849, and the annexation of the Panjab, broke, for ever, the power of the last great Sidhu family of Attari, one member of which, Raja Sher Singh, commanded the Sikh troops at Chilianwala, where the incapacity of an English General and the gallantry of the Sikhs almost drew upon the British Army a calamity as crushing as that which had befallen it, eight years before, in Afghanistan.”
