The great Sikh Warrior was born at Gujranwala, Punjab and was the Commander-in-Chief of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. He was born at Khatri Uppal family. Hari Singh earned the name Nalwa after he killed a tiger. Nalwa was the consummate example of the Sikh Saint - Soldier, and India owes much to his Strategic genius. The tremendous and legendary spirit embodied by Nalwa continued to be denied for some 200 years, while the British held India. Nalwa was the only person whose name was minted on the currency of Punjab; today the Hari Singh rupees can be found in museums in India. Hari Singh Nalwa spoke, wrote and read Persian as well as the Indian languages, and was familiar with world politics.
