Zorawar
Singh Kahluria, who
passed away on 12 December 1841, was a military general of the Dogra Rajput
ruler, Gulab Singh of Jammu. He served as the governor (wazir-e-wazarat) of
Kishtwar and extended the territories of the kingdom by conquering Ladakh and
Baltistan. He also boldly attempted the conquest of Western Tibet (Ngari
Khorsum) but was killed in battle of To-yo during the Dogra-Tibetan war. In
reference to his legacy of conquests in the Himalaya Mountains including
Ladakh, Tibet, Baltistan and Iskardu as General and Wazir, Zorowar Singh has
been referred to as the "Napoleon of India", and "Conqueror of Ladakh".
