ਗੁੜ ਵੇਚਣ ਵਾਲੇ ਤੋਂ ਮਹਾਰਾਜਾ ਬਣੇ ਹੀਰਾ ਸਿੰਘ | ਨਾਭਾ ਰਿਆਸਤ ਪੂਰਾ ਇਤਿਹਾਸ

Описание: The transcript is from a detailed Punjabi podcast/interview on *PNO Media Group* hosted by *Sukhnaib Singh Sidhu**, featuring guest **Seva Mukat Tehsildar Namdev Singh Sidhu* (a researcher on Sidhu-Barar community and Sikh history). They discuss the *historical legacy* of *Nabha Riyasat* (Nabha State), its rulers from the *Phulkian dynasty* (Sidhu Jat Sikh lineage descending from Baba Phul), and its significant contributions to *Sikhism* and Punjab.

Key topics include:
Origins from *Gurditta Singh* and *Hamir Singh* founding Nabha in 1755.
Rulers like *Raja Hira Singh* (installed after humble beginnings as a "gud-laden" trader), who patronized *Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha* (famous Sikh scholar, author of Mahan Kosh) for Gurmat and Sikh historical works.
*Maharaja Ripudaman Singh* (r. 1912–1923/28), a nationalist rebel who supported Sikh causes, Anand Marriage Act advocacy from Nabha, opposed British policies (leading to deposition and exile to Dehradun with pension), and prioritized Sikh reforms over colonial loyalty.
Comparison with other Phulkian states (Patiala, Jind, Faridkot), Nabha's greater Sikh religious contributions despite alliances with British for protection against Maharaja Ranjit Singh's expansion.
Critical views on Nabha rulers' pragmatic politics (supporting British when needed, resisting when Sikh interests clashed, exiles to Dehradun/Mandla/Kala Pani).
Modern context: Recent *dastarbandi* (turban-tying ceremony) of a young Nabha heir (Kunwar Abhi Uday Pratap Singh, great-grandson descendant of Ripudaman Singh), political motivations, alliances (BJP, Dera Beas influence, SGPC figures), and debates on Sikh traditions vs. political opportunism.

The speakers emphasize Nabha's unique role in Sikh scholarship, reforms, and resistance, while critiquing selective revival of royal traditions for contemporary politics.
