The Bhangi Misl () was a large Sikh Misl centered on a village around Amritsar. It was founded in the early 18th century by Hari Singh Dhillon. The name "Bhangi" came from the addiction of Hashish (Bhang) of Hari Singh Dhillon's predecessor Bhuma Singh Dhillon. ==Expanse of Bhangi Misl== It grew in strength and territory to cover an area from Attock to Multan and emerged as the strongest power in the western Punjab region. However, deaths among the leadership during the late 1760s reduced the Misl's power.〔 ==Decline of Power== The Bhangi misl engaged in numerous power struggles with the Sukerchakia Misl until they were severely weakened at the Battle of Basin and the loss of Lahore to Ranjit Singh. Bhangi Misl held the possession of Zamzama, the famous cannon, which was at the time named Bhangi Toap, Bhangianwala Toap and Bhangian di Top, names it retains to this day.〔Singh, Khushwant ''A History of the Sikhs, Volume 1: 1469-1839''.
