Today is Birthday of One of the Greatest Emperors in Indian History, Sher-E-Punjab, MAHARAJA RANJIT SINGH.. Blinded in One Eye, Injured in One Arm, Yet Built Up the Great Sikh Empire. United the Disparate Sikhs into a kingdom and Built an Empire that Covered Punjab, Kashmir, Ladakh, And the Entire North West. Served by Able Men Like HARI SINGH NALWA, DEWAN MOKAM CHAND, VEER SINGH DHILLON, ZORAWAR SINGH.. Also Built a Modern Army, even Recruited European Officers to Bring in the Latest Techniques of Warfare. That’s why British Rulers Couldn’t Annex Punjab Intil He was Alive. Because of him, Punjab was the Last State Which Came Under British Rule in 1849. But Alas No One Teaches About His Legacy in India. 🇮🇳 Because of Him, Punjab was the Most Literate State at That Time. Even Though He Recruited European Officers, He Ensured They Followed a Strict Code of Conduct, No Beef, No Smoking and No Alcohol. As a Matter of Fact, Ranjit Singh Ji Banned Cow Slaughter in His Empire. A Devout Sikh, Who Never Differentiated on Religion. Both his Court and Army had Equal Number of Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims - a True Secular King. His Finance Minister was A Hindu Brahmin, His Prime Minister was A Dogra, His Foreign Minister a Muslim. He Also Renovated the Golden Temple, Gave It the Gold Plates, And Gave Equal Amount of Gold to The then Hindus and Muslims too, For Renovation of their Shrines and Temples. Built Gurudwaras at Patna and Nanded, In Honor of Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, Both of Which are Considered Among the PANCH TAKTH.. A Great Warrior, An Equally Able and Wise Ruler, A Truly Great Human Being Too. Ranjit Singh Ji, Is the Only King in the History of World to Have Conquered Afghans, Which Even Modern Militaries of USA and Russia Couldn’t Achieve, And Eventually Blocked Entry of Mughals. My Request to All, Please Do Share This Information with as many As You Can, Especially to the Younger Generation, As a Humble Tribute to This Great Emperor on His Birthday... Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh...🙏
