Abstract

Maharaja Ranjit Singh recognized a great Sikh Monarchy in Punjab, which 
strained form river Sutlej to Khyber Pass. He had reigned Punjab for forty years 
which remained the unique phase of the Sikh political attainment. His rule, by all 
morals, was impartial, humanitarian and lenient towards all societies. He certainly 
not found it essential to punish even a single individual to decease, not even those 
who bid to assassinate him. His empire was never a hereditary because he wasthe 
ruler of one of the federations. He had exclusive credit for deporting the Afghans and 
the Mughals from the regions under the Sikh domain. Over two lakh Sikhs hadbeen 
executed in the struggle for the Sikh autonomy and dominion. Henamed the rule as 
'Sarkar-e-Khalsa' and its coinage was named Nanak Shahi. He clarified that he was one of theSikhs and did not call him the Maharaja. He should only be called Singh 
Sahib. Thesewere all the components of the Sikh state. Then how could he be 
defensible in makingthe Sikh state as his successional realm and bring the Sikh at the 
top of statemanagement?
