A true Rajput would rather die a thousand deaths than surrender to the illegitimate product that tried to instill fear into the heart of Duggar Desh.

The dawn of the 19th century was the darkest time, Dogras watched their homeland being looted by a foreign invader, Ranjeet Singh of the Sikh Territory. Parallel to Shishak King of Egypt who attacked Jerusalem. The King of Jammu was casted away and mass taxation and exploitative policies were imposed upon the hill people. Homes were plundered, men who joined resistance were killed in cold blood, and women’s modesty was chastened and outraged for the long years.

The white hawk, such remarkably fine kind, awakened the heart of the folk hero, Mian Dido. Verity, it was the symbol of freedom. He then refused to be silenced and was in favor of restoring his homeland against the Lahore Darbar. He rose to power through unity with Jagirdars who faced the bloodshed. The courage of Mian Dido gave the hill people a new resolve and they redoubled their efforts. Indeed, it was Mian Dido who evoked a real sense of ethnic identity, who they were, they were proud Dogras. The resistance against the likes of Ranjeet Singh grew.

Consequently, he lived up to his name of Mian Dido and became the Robin Hood of Duggar Desh.
