Amar Singh Majithia was the governor ofHazara region in theSikh Empire from 1820 until his death in 1822.[1]
He was also called Amar Singh Kallan (senior) to distinguish him from Amar Singh Khurd (junior). Both Amar Singh Kallan and Khurd were from the village ofMajitha. Amar Singh Majithia took part in many early campaigns underRanjit Singh and was appointed governor ofHazara Division after Diwal Ram Dial's death by theMashwani andUtmanzai tribesmen of Hazara. He was known to be an astute person and succeeded in winning over the leading men to his side, and in collecting the old Durani revenue and tribute from the Hazara plains. However, like his predecessor, Amar Singh Majithia was also killed in battle along with all of his men by theKarlal tribe. The scene of this battle was at the banks of Samundar katha stream, a tributary of theHarroh river.[2][3]
