http://Bhadaur.coM Bhadaur (ਭਦੌੜ) is historic town of Punjab. It is home to legendary PHOOLKA SIRDARS, from which comes the Phoolkia dynasty. Bhadaur is the first joint capital of Phoolkian dynasty. The princely states of Patiala, Jind and Nabha are rooted to Bhadaur. Bhadaur was an independent princely state till 1858. Later it comes under the supremacy of Patiala State by British government by a favour not by right. Phool, the founder of Phoolkian Dynasty (PHOOLKIAN MISL) a Sidhu was the founder of this family. Phool's eldest son Tiloka was the ancestor of the Nabha, Jind and Badrukhan royal families and his second son Rama sired six sons and out of DunnaSingh. Ala Singh and Bakhta sprang the princely states of Bhadaur, Patiala and Malaudh which were the most important of the Cis-Satluj States belonging to Phoolkian Misl. Collaterally, the descendants of Phool were connected with the rulers of Faridkot, the extinct Kaithal family, and the feudatories of Arnauli, Jhumba, Saddhuwal, and, north of the Sutlej, Attari. These numerous branches of a vigorous stock belonged to the great Sidhu-Brar tribe, the most powerful Jat clan south of the Sutlej. Bhadaur was a collateral of the princely state of Patiala. The sons of Phool, Tilok Singh and Ram Singh were blessed with Khande da Pahul by Guru Gobind Singh himself at Damdama Sahib. Guru Gobind Singh in a Hukamnama (royal edict) addressed to the two sons of Phool, Rama & Tiloka on 2 August 1696, called upon them for aid in his fight with the Hill Rajas proclaiming "tera ghar mera asey" ਤੇਰਾ ਘਰ ਮੇਰਾ ਅਸੈ meaning Your House is My Own bestowing special status on the HOUSE of PHOOL.[11] It is said that it is because of this blessing from Guru Sahib that the other 11 Misls never attacked the Phulkian States despite some provocations. They were blessed with the Apaar kirpa of Guru Gobind Singh evidence of which can be seen in the Patiala Hukumnama sent by Guru Sahib in 1696 A.D.[12] Its translation into English reads: There is one God. The Guru is great. It is the order of the Guru. Bhai Rama and Bhai Tiloka, the Guru will protect all. You are required to come with your contingent. I am much pleased with you. Your house is my own. On seeing this letter you should come in my presence. Your house is my refuge. You should come to me immediately. On seeing this letter you should arrive with horsemen. You must come. A Sirpau (robe of honour or Jorra) for you is being sent. Keep it with you. Bhadson 2 Samat 1653 Bikrami. Phool left six sons, of whom Tiloka was the eldest, and from him are descended the families of Jind and Nabha.[23] From Rama, the second son, sprang the greatest of the Phoolkian houses, that of Patiala besides Bhadaur, Kot duna and Malaudh. [24] In 1627 Phool founded and gave his name to a village which was an important town in the State of Nabha. His two eldest sons founded Bhai Rupa while Rama also built Rampura. The last named successfully raided the Bhattis and other enemies of his line. He then obtained from the Muhammadan governor of Sirhind the intendancy of the Jangal tract. The other four sons succeeded to only a small share of their father's possessions. 1807 Veer Singh the grand son of Rughu was ordered by Grand father Sardar Hardas Singhnof Jiaund to lay down the foundation stone of Village Bangi Rughu near Talwandi Sabo in district Bathinda to protect Talwandi Sabo and Fort Bathinda from Muslim invaders as it was wished by Guru Gobind Singh after his stay in Damdaman Sahib (Talwandi Sabo) from Ala Singh of Patiala, the shining star of Phul and the real nephew of Rughu. Prior to 1857 Bhadaur was an independent state, Bhadaur was the one and only princely town where the royal family holds 8 eight Residential Forts individually. Bhadaur is home to Phookla Sardars (chiefs), who rule 84 villages. The royals of the house of Bhadaur are known as Bhadaurias & Bhadauriye Sardar.
