Remembering "Sher-E-Punjab" Maharaja Ranjit Singh on his birth anniversary, who united 11 #Sikh "misls" of & formed the #SikhEmpire, was the 1st Indian in a millennium to turn the tide of invasion back into the homelands of the traditional conquerors of ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ, the Pashtuns (Afghans)
At the height of his power, "Sher-E-Punjab" Maharaja Ranjit Singh domains extended from the Khyber Pass in the northwest to the Sutlej River in the east and from the Kashmir region at the northern limit of the Indian subcontinent southward to the Thar (Great Indian) Desert.
In July 1799 Maharaja Ranjit Singh seized Lahore, the capital of Punjab; Afghan king, Zamฤn Shah, confirmed him as governor of, but in 1801 he proclaimed himself maharaja of Punjab. He had coins struck in the name of Sikh Gurus, & administered in the name of Sikh commonwealth.

1. @guardian 15 Oct 22, p 21 @tweeter_anita @EmpirePodUK, a cold-eyed, #critical #historian would've provided the #lowdown, and six of her best, to those boorish, blingy, visiting #Punjabis about the #Sikhempire or #ZulfikarBhutto.
2. #Kashmiris and #Ladakhis, unlike mawkish #Punjabis, don't quite share that lachrymose view of #Punjabi #history or #DuleepSingh. #Lamaist #Buddhists and #Muslims chafed under #Sikhrulers. Expelled former; forbade latter #fasting/#Fridayprayers.
3. #India was in a tailspin under #Sikhs, #Marathas, #Mughals etc. and #Britishrule consolidated the peninsula unseen since the #Mauryas. #Newsflash right-on Radcliffe ranters either side: #EmpressVictoria sired #MotherIndia and #Iqbal's sarey jahฤn bulbuls.
