| Description |
English: Article: Sketches of the Sikhs. Illustration for The Illustrated London News, 4 April 1846. pages 4 and 5, Volume: 8 , Issue: 205. Article (part): CHIEF OF THE AKALIS. The Akalis (immortals), or Sikh fanatic priests, though considerably reduced in number, are much respected by the people. Their residence is at Akaligurgh-which was built by them-a large town a little south of the route from Ramnuggur to Lahore: here they live in a state of desperate independence of the Sikh Government, but they are tolerated on account of their ferocious valour in foreign wars. Runjeet Singh tried, though unsuccessfully, to incorporate them with the Goracheras. Read the ILN A wood engraving of an ‘Akali Chief’ by G.T. Vigne. This is likely to be Akali Hanuman Singh.
