Lepel H. Griffin writes that Ala Singh was twenty-three years of age when his father was murdered, and his first thought was to avenge him.

Ugarsen, escaping, fled to Semeke, which was at once attacked and pillaged, and Ugarsenhad again to seek safety in flight. Soon after this Ala Singh established a Thana or Police station in Sangirah, at the request, it is said, of the people of that place, who suffered from the oppression of the Chiefs of Kot and Jagraon, and he held the village th...
In 1718 he left Bhadaur to his elder brother Duna and rebuilt Barnala, which had fallen into ruins, and where he took up his residence.

A neighbour was synonymous with an enemy, and the husbandmen ploughed their fields with their matchlocks by their side. No man could consider his land, his horse, or his w...

Three years later the district of Sanawar was conquered for Ala Singh by one of his Sirdars, Gurbaksh Singh Kaleka.
