Re: Maharajah Ranjeet Singh
Not neccasarily avoid the Topic… more correctly theres a great confussion of this period in History and in some regards it’s very controversial and highly sensitive so wisely most Historians dont like to say things that could be counterproductive.
While certainly it’s dificuilt to avoid the facts of History sometimes History is brushed under the carpet when the powers that be do not or can not abide what the past has to tell us. In some respects Ranjeet Singhs wins and losses continue to haunt people to this day and the shadow of the Sikh Empire is stained with much blood.
Truth be told while there was a cultural breathing space, Historically speaking Ranjit Singhs time as ruler was merely a breakwater between events that were gradually tearing the Subcontinent apart.
