Empire Of The Sikhs

The Life and Times of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. One of the most powerful rulers of his age and a colussus who bestrode India, he had an impact that has lasted to this day. He unified the warring chiefdoms of the Punjab into an extraordinary northern Empire of the Sikhs stretching to the borders of Afghanistan and Tibet, built up a formidable modern army, kept the British in check to the south of his realm and closed the Khyber Pass through which plunderers had for centuries poured into India. Yet, unique among empire builders, he was humane and just, he gave employment to defeated foes, honoured all faiths and included Hindus and Muslims among his ministers.
