Who We Are?
The Ramgarhia community is a tribe of the Punjab region in India which started from the Ramgarhia Missal (Army). The founder & leader of the Ramgarhia Misl was Misldar Nand Singh Sanghania and its members were Sikhs from different tribes. But today, Ramgarhia is associated mainly with the Tarkhan tribe because of its later famous Misldhar, Jassa Singh Ramgarhia, who was a Tarkhan.
The founder of the group that would eventually become the Ramgarhia Misl was Khushal Singh of Guga village near Amritsar. Khushal Singh was succeeded by, Nand Singh Sanghania who belonged to village Sanghani near Amritsar. After his death he was succeeded by a much more enterprising and valiant man, Jassa Singh Ramgarhia (1723-1803), under whose stewardship the band assumed prominance and the name of the Missal. The name Ramgarhia was adopted after winning a major battle near the village of Ramgarh.
