A very informative article i came across recently
Punjabi Heroes that History Forgot
The Punjabis go on aggression only once – when they have their very own empire for forty years under the efficient rule by Ranjit Singh 1799-1839) and the empire extends upto Kabul and Kandhar.

The Sikh rule had never extended beyond Jamrud, a small town near Peshawar. No Sikh army ever stepped foot into Kabul or Kandahar. Such a short-lived rule and that too just over the tiny Peshawar valley and so much hoopla.
