Sardar Bhuma Singh was a [[Dhillon]] [[Jat]] of the village of Hung, near Badhni in present-day [[Moga district]], who made a name for himself in skirmishes with [[Nadir Shah]]'s troops in 1739.<ref>2001. ''The Sikh Commonwealth or Rise and Fall of Sikh Misls. Edition:2001.''</ref> Bhuma Singh's latent genius as an organiser and commander helped the Bhangi ''misl'' grow. Historical records indicate he died in the [[Chhota Ghallughara]] (massacre) in 1746, while defending the Sikh community, from hostile attacks. Bhuma Singh was childless and had adopted his nephew, [[Hari Singh Dhillon|Hari Singh]]. On Bhuma Singh's death in 1746, Hari Singh Bhangi assumed the leadership of the Bhangi Misl. The Bhangi Misl got its name due to Bhuma Singh's addiction of ''hashish'' ([[bhang]]).<ref name="Khushwant Singh">{{cite book|last=Singh|first=Khushwant|title=A History of the Sikhs: 1469-1838|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=MD9uAAAAMAAJ|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=978-0-19-567308-1|pages=127|date=2004-10-11}}</ref><br />
