History of people

The older generation of Dadehar has received rites of amrit at the hands of Guru Gobind Singh, and joined the Khasala Army. Dadehar had bred many warriors who fought against the Moguls and defended India against invaders. Baba Sobha Singh Sandhu and many other Sikh Sandhu Jatts of Dadehar joined Ahluwalia Sikh Misl. People of Dadehar have fought alone with Hari Singh Nalwa against the Mughal Raj and contributed to establish the Sikh Kingdom. A prominent freedom fighter, Saint Baba Vasakha Singh Dadehar, (see Sikhism in the United States) is well known as a native of Dadaher. Baba Vasakha Singh died on 5 December 1957. In memory of Baba ji every year on 4 December nagar kirtan starts from his birth place and ends at the Gurudwara Taap Sathan Baba Vasakha Singh Ji. Out of due respect Dadehar was awarded the Sahib title and at present this village is known as Dadehar Sahib. Dadehar people are from the Sandhu Jat clan and have established more than 22 villages in Amritsar District and nephew Sarhali have established 17 villages.
