In his early career, Yadav trained the Sikh Khalsa Army. After the death of Ranjit Singh, he fought in both the First and Second Anglo-Sikh Wars. His hatred of the British after the defeat of Sikhs led him to begin giving military training to the farmers of Alwar, Rewari, Narnaul, Ahirwal and Mahendragarh region.[6]
Indian Rebellion of 1857[edit]
In the Indian Rebellion of 1857, Rao Tularam and Pran Sukh Yadav fought against the British Army in the battle of Naseeb Pur.[7][8]
Pran Sukh Yadav, after receiving the news of rebellion in the Eripura Regiment, approached the Jodhpur Legion commander and decided that this was the right time to fight the British army in Narnaul. He was a skilled army hero and strategist, while fighting bravely, he killed Colonel Gerrard with his favorite rifle. Although the Indians were defeated in this battle, Pran Sukh remained hidden with the rest of the rebels for two-three years and later settled back in his ancestral village of Nihalpur in Alwar (Rajasthan) district.[9] In his last years he became a follower of the Arya Samaj.[10][11][12]
