Koom Singh Doad was a Nihang of a Doad Rajput family of village Jalwehra. He was the son of a Hindu, Ghomandi (or Ghamandi). He was converted to Sikhi and administered amrit by Akali Baba Phula Singh Nihang. Koom Singh was one of the first Sikhs, if not first, in the Doad clan in Doaba area. He fought in many encounters against the mughals and also partook in looting their loots. He was born in village Jalwehra, Garhshankar tehsil, district Hoshiarpur in Punjab around 1810-1815 A.D. His descendants include Shaheed Bhai Manjit Singh Babbar (Sikh hijacker and Shaheed) and Sukhdev Singh Jalwehra (President of Khalistan Council, Brussels). Koom Singh Doad had royal blood, he was a direct descendant of Shankar Sahai Doad (who ruled the whole Doaba), who in turn was a direct descendant of Deo Chand Doad, who was a ruler of Orissa.
