a small town of Hindustan, 25 miles from the left bank of the River Sutlej, 1140 miles N.W. from Calcutta; Lat. 30° 48', Long. 74° 55'. It is only remarkable for a victory gained by the British over a greatly more numerous force of the Sikhs on 18th December 1845. This was the first action in that war, and the loss of the English was very considerable, more than fifty European officers being killed and wounded.
