MĪRĪ SIṄGH was son of Kāhn Siṅgh and grandson of Bābā Binod Siṅgh, who had under the orders of Gurū Gobind Siṅgh accompanied Bandā Siṅgh Bahādur from Nāndeḍ, in the South, to the Punjab in 1708 along with three other disciples. Mīrī Siṅgh took part in several of Bandā Siṅgh's battles against the Mughal rulers in the Punjab. When the newly-conquered district of Karnāl was made over to Binod Siṅgh in May 1710, Mīrī Siṅgh assisted his grandfather in guarding the town against Mughal onslaughts and took part in battles against the Mughal commander, Fīroz Khān Mevātī at Amīn, Tārāorī, Thānesar and Shāhābād.
