Great analysis of the battle. Somehow, Indians seem to have never learned the fact that for an empire to be strong we need capable rulers. Indians have always had good warriors but rarely a great political figure. Having good warriors mean nothing if you don't have capable political leaders. The British didn't dare to attack the Sikh Empire till Ranjit Singh was Emperor. But when he died the cracks began to show themselves and it was only a matter of time for the British to annex their territory. Something similar happened with British and Marathas too.

The Brits were quite happy for the Punjab to be a buffer state run by Sikhs, as rightly mentioned in this great video. Alas, Sikhs are also Indians after all, and all it takes is one dashing ruler to die, and everyone tries to grab power, and the whole kingdom falls like a house of cards. The eager native Bengal EIC troopers fighting the Sikhs on behalf of the Brits were none other than the "Purabiyas" or Easterners, from today's UP and Bihar states. Were it not for the Purabiyas, the Brits had no chance against the Sikhs, who may have eventually stabilized and morphed into a major nation-state. But it was not to be. And just 12 years later, when the Purabiyas rebelled and started the Mutiny, the Sikhs of course returned the favor by tying Purabiya rebels to cannons and blowing them off, hence ensuring another 90 years of happy servitude for all Indians (yay!), ended only by the near bankruptcy of Britain post WW2. The saving grace is the Brits at least left some institutions behind, else there would have been no "India", just be a bunch of small, poor states constantly at war like some African countries.

[@antimffs3755]

Sikhs were never Indians. You can say Punjabi became after treacherous and deceitful annexation of Punjab. There is no record of British ever giving green light to Sikhs to have their own sovereign annexed lands back, rather to further betray the Sikhs who saved them during 1857, the British partitioned their lands into India and Pakistan.

[@FilesdocumentsAndreposit-kr3vb]

And the British after 1857 completely destroyed the purbiyas in every way possible. Their every institution - educational, social , religious, military - everything was destroyed

[@redbaron007-e5p]

​@@antimffs3755 An "Indian" in pre-partition India is a person who originates in the Indian subcontinent. So Sikhs, the followers of Guru Nanak, who was born in Lahore, are as Indian as Jats, or Rajputs or Tamils or Biharis - they have always been so. And the 18th century Sikhs (except Ranjit Singh) had exactly the same flaw that other Indian powers like Marathas, Rajputs had: total lack of statesmanship and strategic foresight. Had the Marathas and Sikhs shown statesmanship and stayed united, they could have ended the Mughals and EIC would still be trading spices from the ports of Madras. Had the Purabiyas of the EIC (native Bengal Army) shown statesmanship, they would not have fought the Sikhs who did them no harm. Had the Sikhs not borne a grudge against the Purabiyas, they would have joined the Purabiya rebels and kicked the EIC out in 1857. But thanks to petty regional and ethnic divisions, the wily Brits, less than 100,000 at their peak in India, controlled 300 million Indians. This humiliation should be taught to children in schools, researched, and lessons learnt. The tragedy is India is as divided today as it was in the 18th century. It's just that the world has changed. Not a single lesson has been learnt by Indians.

The British didn't want to fight the Sikhs at all,, the Sikhs attacked the British remember,, it was in British interests to have a stable Sikh state ,,

We think of the period btw 1815 & 1848 as a peaceful one in Europe (except Spain 's Carlist war) but in reality there were a lot of conflicts that involved UK, expecially in Asia,and also Khafir wars in S. Africa. These wars aren't well known, and I'm glad that these videos are covering them. By the way, these British uniforms were gorgeous, also if I don't dare to think how these ones would appear after a 140 miles ' march !

The Sikh Empire gave the British in India a run for their money.

Tipperary Joe Gough. First torchbearer of the "They Don't Like it Up 'Em!" military tactic.

I reckon so. God help us if he had been around in WW1 -:0

Excellent content and narration. Very intriguing !!. Maharaja Ranjit's army was considered second best in India after that of East India Company. Till date, Punjabi or Sikh soldiers are revered for their valour and strength. Jind Kaur has an interesting story of her own, and worth covering as part of another episode Her daring escape from Chunar Fort and subsequent grant of asylum in Nepal ( 800 KM away ) is nothing less than stuff of legend.

MAHARAJA RANJIT SINGH CONSIDERED FIRST OF COURSE BRITISH WAIT UNTIL HE DIED THEN CAME

[@zippysingh1]

you might wanna read the Jang Nama of the Muslim writer (Shah Mohammad) of the time who observed the battle with his own eyes!

[@Sub-Kuch13.13]

That's too much & the Truth.

[@ramandeepgrewal2346]
