Explanation:

The battle of Nadaun was fought between the union of the Kings of hill states and the Mughals. In this battle Guruji supported the kings of hill states. The only reason behind it was that after developing friendly relations with Guruji, Bhim Chand the King of Bilaspur and the kings of other hill states stopped paying annual tribute to the Mughals. Those kings constituted a union under the leadership of Bhim Chand. On not receiving annual tribute from them Bhim the Mughal subedar of Jammu, Mian Khan sent an army under the leadership of Alif Khan against the Kings of the hill states in 1690 A.D. In this battle, Kirpal Chand King of Kangra cooprated Alif Khan. Guru Sahib favoured Raja Ram Singh and the Kings of hill states. The battle of Nadaun took place thirty two kilometres away from Kangra on the banks of the river Beas. In this battle, Guru Sahib and his companions proved their bravery. Alif Khan was defeated and he fled from the battle field.
