  • Thakur Amani Singh (Thakurele) - He was from village Gahon (Gahlau) . He was a freedom fighter who took part in 1857 freedom movement. He became famous as 'अमानी तो अमानी , बाकी घोड़ी हूँ न मानी' . इगलास के आसपास का क्षेत्र ठकुरेले जाटों का है. इसे लागसमा भी कहते हैं. ठकुरेलों की बाईसी और अठाईसी की पंचायत ने पाई नगला में सर्वसम्मति से अमानी सिंह को नेता मान लिया था. लगसमा का यह वीर अंग्रेजों पर १८५७ की क्रांति में बहुत भारी पड़ा था. जनश्रुति है कि बलिष्ठ शरीर वाले अमानी सिंह घोड़ी की लगाम नहीं थामते थे और दोनों हाथों से तलवार चलते थे. It is said that he was so brave that he could fight with swords in both hands while riding a horse. He became martyr fighting with British rule[2]
