Phulkian Misl was a Sikh Misl founded by Choudhary Phul Sidhu-Brar, also known as Baba Phul, and named after him.[1][2] A descendant of the Bhati Rajputs, Singh was a direct descendant of Rawal Jaisal Singh, the founder and first ruler of the Kingdom of Jaisalmer.[3] Singh's descendants became the royal families of the Phulkian dynasty states, which included the states of Patiala, Nabha, and Jind.[4][5] Historians have disputed whether the Phulkian Misl was ever a true Sikh Misl, as its practices and policies were more centralized and akin to a petty kingdom than those of a true Sikh Misl.[6]
