'''Kalsi''' is a famous Tribe of [[Tarkhan]] Sikhs also known as Ramgarhia Sikhs. |
|||
'''Kalsi''' is a Sikh family name derived from a clan of '''Sikh Ramgarhias''' (Tarkhans). Because of their reverence for the famous Misl leader, Jassa Singh Ramgarhia (1723-1803), who was a Tarkhan. |
|||
A very proud and fiercely independent people, they are amongst the wealthiest and most educated clans of India. Ramgarhias traditionally mostly carpenters but included other artisan occupations such as stonemasons and blacksmiths. |
|||
Their artisan skills were noted by the British, who encouraged many Ramgarhia to move to colonies in East Africa in the 1890s, where they assisted in the creation of that region's infrastructure and became Africanised. One significant project in which they and other Punjabi Sikhs were involved was the cion of the railway linking the present-day countries of Kenya and Uganda, which was completed in 1901. |
|||
Ramgarhias (Tarkhans) have served courageously in crack Commando units of the Punjab and Sikh Regiments of the Indian Army, as brave fighter pilots and in the Navy. |
