By virtue of his strength and bravery, Pundir was appointed as accredited representative or Commander in chief of the entire North-West Frontier by Prithviraj Chauhan.[3][4] He resisted a number of invasions of the Turks led by Mohammad Ghori of the Ghurid dynasty against India during the 11th century.[5][6]
The Pundirs were allies and vassals of the Chauhan Rajput dynasty. Dhir Singh Pundir was the elder son of Chandra Pundir or Chand Pundir, the ruler of Haridwar, who was also a great feudatory and father-in-law of Emperor Prithviraj Chauhan.[7][8][9]
