Jagat Singh Sidhu, best known as Jagga Jatt or Jagga Daku was a 20th-century heroic rebel of Punjab.〔 He is known as the Robin Hood of Punjab for "robbing from the rich and giving to the poor". ==Early life== Jagga was born as Jagat Singh Sidhu in 1901/02 in a Jat Sikh family, to father Sardar Makhan Singh Sidhu and mother Bhagan, in the village of Burj Ran Singh〔 of Lahore District (now Kasur District) in British Punjab. In village Burj Ran Singh, most families were Muslim Telis but only 17 or 18 families were of Sidhu Jatts. Jagga had two sisters〔 and was the only son of Sardar Makhan Singh. Jagga owned 10 Murabba (250 acres) of land so he was not asked to do anything by his uncle and mother. Sardar Makhan Singh Sidhu and Bhaagan Sidhu had six children before Jagga but none of them survived.〔 At this, Makhan Singh went to a saint Inder Singh, in the nearby village of Sodhi Wala, who told him to buy a buck (male goat) before the birth of the next baby and told him that the buck should be touched by the newly born. The saint also told him not to name the baby starting with J.〔〔 However, the child was born and finally survived with the subsequent death of the buck touched by him, but an uncle of the child insisted on naming the child as ''Jagat Singh'' which was against the directions of the saint. Jagga's father died when Jagga was a little child. He grew up in the care of his ''Chacha'' (Uncle) S. Roop Singh and mother Bhagan.〔〔 He was very fond of wrestling and used to wrestle at the village ''Akhaara'' with his friend Sohan Teli. He got married to Inder Kaur of nearby village of Talwandi and the couple was blessed with the only daughter Gulab Kaur aka Gabo.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jagga Jatt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
