Sidhu is a Punjabi Jat clan found in Punjab.[2][3][4][5][6]
The Sidhus have had a significant impact on Sikh history.[7]
Etymology and origin
During British Raj, historians like H. A. Rose and Alexander Cunningham note an account of local bards (bhatts), which state the clan descends from a Bhatti[8] clan progenitor named Sidhu Rao, whom had maternal alliance with Gill Jats.[9] Their descendants are thus the Sidhu Jats.[9][10]
History
Sikh period
The Sidhu clan held sway in the Ferozepur area in the late medieval period.[11] Chaudhary Phul of the Sidhu-Brar clan established the Phulkian Misl, one of the misls (confederacies) of the Sikh Confederacy. His descendants, the Phulkian Maharajas, became the kings of the princely states of Faridkot, Jind, Nabha, Malaudh and Patiala.[12][13]
