Mian Dido - The Robinhood of Jammu

Mian Dido was a brave Dogra who lived in Jagti, North of Jammu. He rebelled against Sikh dominance and Sahukari exploitation.Sikh Ruler Kharak Singh imposed heavy land taxes which was not acceptable to Dogras.Mian Dido along with other Peasantry and Bahu and Chib Rajputs started revolt against the rulers.They used To loot rulers and distribute it among poor people.

He once surrendered because he was tired of this life but after he came to know that the ruler lied to him and he will be killed,Mian ji killed 5 soldiers and escaped.After that he kept on attacking the rulers army.

When no other way could keep Mian ji away, Kharak SIngh asked Maharaja Gulab Singh ji to crush the rebellion.Gulab Singh ji had great respect for Main ji as both were Dogras and from the same clan.some say that Maharaja Gulab singh ji killed Mian Dido .

But Truth is that Gulab ji sent his man to capture mian ji as It was his duty to serve the ruler. He ordered his men to capture Main ji alive but Mian ji attacked the men and forced one of the soldiers to fire a gun in panic that killed Main Dido ji. Gulab singh ji was sad to hear this.He took responsibility of Mian ji’s sons and took care of them .

THAT THE GREATNESS OF DOGRAS. Mian Ji is an example That dogras wont tolerate Injustice and Maharaja Gulab Singh ji, An example of Loyality.
