                                      BRIEF HISTORY

In 1805, the Nepalese General Amar Singh Thapa lead a troop of 40,000 soldiers against Maharaja Sansar Chand-2 of Kangra.In 1809, Maharaja Sansar Chand-2 appealed for help from Maharaja Ranjit Singh of Lahore, which was readily given and the Gurkhas driven out.Instead of returning to Lahore army of Maharaja Ranjit Singh captured Siba Fort in 1813 and Kangra Fort in 1820 .At that time, Raja Sansar Chand was the ruler of Kangra and Raja Gobind Singh was the ruler of Siba State.Later on Siba State was re-instated as an independent state in samvat 1830, perhaps as a gesture in return for the grant of Raja Govind Singh's (25 th rules of Siba State) in, two daughters marriagd to Raja Dhian Singh, elder brother Raja Gulab Singh of Jammu and Chief Minister of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. But under the term of restoration, the fort of Siba remained in Maharaja Ranjit Singh's hands,three quarters of the state being made over to Raja Gobind Singh and one quarter to his cousin,Mian Devi Singh, Siba tributary to the Sikh Army of Maharaja Ranjit Singh,1830-1845. In another words Siba State was also devided into two parts one part that is 1/3 rd of the State was with Raja Gobind Singh and 1/4 th was given to Mian Devi Singh and fort was under Sikhs ( Maharaja Ranjit Singh's Army). So the Siba State devided into two parts,one is Siba State and the ruler was Raja Gobind Singh , the other is Siba Jagir and the ruler was Mian Devi Singh.So two branches were created automatically i.e. Koi Branch and Kotla Branch. After the death of Raja Gobind Singh , his son Raja Ram Singh became Raja of Siba State.He married with one Rani namely Kulthleri Ganga Daee,she died in samvat 1936 and her ashes were immersed in Ganga River in Bhado month. Raja Ram Singh fought against the Sikhs in the second Sikh war and was able to take from them the Siba Fort,which upuntil they had garrisoned; he also ousted his counsin Mian Devi Singh from his jagir in Kotla. Later on,in 1848, English Rulers incorportated Siba Jagir(territory of Mian Devi Singh) alongwith its other sister states namely Datarpur, Jawan, Guler.Thereafter,the English rulers linked Datarpur to Siba Jagir under the joint name of Dadu-Siba presently known as Dada-Siba and both incorporated in the British district of Kangra. Raja Ram Singh,however,with the help of his brother Sunder Singh retained the state and the Royal Chair of Raja . Raja Ram Singh also restored the Radha Krishan Temple in Siba and to have built the palace on the hill-top. On appeal to the British Vice Royal at Lahore ,only the share of Siba Jagir i.e. 1/4 th of Siba State was later on restored to Bijai Singh son of Mian Devi Singh by the British in 1858 but did not acknowledge him as Raja.Later on, after the creation of Dada-Siba,the britishers created Jai Singh son of Bijai Singh as Raja of Dada-Siba Jagir but Siba State remained an Independent State. Evidence is very much present as Siba State is very much shown as Independent State in the map of Punjab State Agencies,1946. When britishers were planning for another attemps to capture Siba State of Raja Ram Singh, Sunder Singh,brother of Raja Ram Singh,who was also looking after the seat of wazir of Siba, went to Lahore in a horse race. Sunder Singh stood first there. Thakur Sunder Singh often visited Lahore via Chak Ladian, famous village within the Hoshiarpur District where he had warm welcome by the local people. Chak Ladian was muslim gujjar populated area. On return to his home in Koi (Siba),he saw britishers with the members of Dada-Siba royal family ,on the bank of river Bias,on the border of Dada-Siba(Jagir)and Siba State, thereafter the whole automosphere turned into an armed conflict in which two britishers and one of the royals,who belongs to Koi was killed and he was held responsible for killing with his gun . There were no rule under which the Royal was punished for killing some one, therefore, as a result the English played a game and exiled Thakur Sunder Singh from Dada Siba (Jagir).As he also killed one member of his own family(cousin),he showed his inablity to reside in Siba.He hided himself and migrated to village:Chack Ladian of Kapurthala Princely State,presently situated in Hoshiarpur District of Punjab(India). There he took shelter in an Inn of Puran Shah Suthara,Head of Suthra community of village:Chack Ladian.After few months,he purchased a piece of land in between Village: Chack Ladian and Chack Nur Ali from one Jagirdar and thereafter,resided in Tents and made their own kingdom presently known as village:Tantpalan.
