Sardar Jawahir Singh Aulakh

Sardar Jawahar Singh Aulakh (1814-1845), son of Sardar Manna Singh, a Aulakh Jatt of small village Chicharwali, in Sialkot District of Punjab. was wazir or prime minister of the Sikh kingdom for a few months from 14 May 1845 to 21 September 1845 during the regency of his sister, Maharani Jind Kaur. He was appointed guardian to his young nephew, Maharaja Duleep Singh, who came to the throne in September 1843. After the fall of Prime minister Hira Singh and his adviser Pandit Jalla in December 1844, three persons, Lal Singh, Gulab Singh and Jawahar Singh, staked their claim to prime ministership. Maharani Jind Kaur, who kept the control of Lahore affairs in her hands, had ultimately Jawahar Singh appointed prime minister on 14 May 1845. He later was killed by the Sikh army, because of serious rift between them in 1845, in front of Maharani Jind Kaur and Maharaja Duleep Singh.
