Sardar Jassa Singh Ramgarhia (1723 - 1803)

Sardar Jassa Singh Ramgarhia was the leader of the Ramgarhia Misl. Whenever there was a threat to the Sikh Panth, he was the first to accept the challenge.

The latter had his surname after the Ramgarh Fort, which was built in defence of Sri Darbar Sahib. Historian Khuswakat Rai writes that his was a highly affable, intelligent and morally upright person.
