Sidhu (Punjabi: ਸਿੱਧੂ (Gurmukhi)) is a Punjabi Jat clan found in Punjab.[1][2][3][4][5]
History
Sikh period
The Sidhu clan held sway in the Ferozepur area in the late mediaeval period.[6] Chaudhary Phul of the Sidhu-Brar clan established the Phulkian Misl, one of the misls (confederacies) of the Sikh Confederacy. His descendants, the Phulkian Maharajas, became the kings of the princely states of Faridkot, Jind, Nabha, Malaudh and Patiala.[7][8]

Historically, the city was founded by Firoz Shah Tughlaq III (1351-1388 A.D). It was earlier an important centre between Delhi and Lahore (Sharma, 1983: 17). Firoz Shah III constructed the Ferozepore fort around 1370 (GoP, 2000: 13). The Ain-i-Akbari also refers to 'Ferozepore' as the capital of Multan province. After a series of successions by Sidhu Jatts and the Bhangi Misl, the district became 'the advanced outpost of British India in the direction of the Sikh power' in 1839 (Imperial Gazetteer of India, 1908a, b: 440-441). Finally, in 1846, it formally became part of the British Empire.

By a sunnud of 5 May 1860, it was provided that, in case of failure of male heirs to any of the three Phulkian houses, a successor should be chosen from among the descendants of Phul, by the two other chiefs and the Representative of the British Government.
