Battle of Jammu (1808)
The Battle of Jammu was fought between Sikhs and the Dogra Rajputs in 1808. The Dogras lost Jammu and Hukam Singh Chimni captured the Jammu city along with the Sikh General Hari Singh Nalwa. This was a great success for the Sikhs as now their route to Kashmir was open. In 1820, the Sikhs had to install Maharaja Gulab Singh as the Raja of Jammu and as a vassal to Maharaja Ranjit Singh because of the growing revolt (led by Mian Dido Jamwal and Chib Rajputs) of the Dogra Rajputs against the Sikhs.
