The untold history of Sikh rule under Ranjit Singh in Lahore | Fakir Syed | TEDxULahore

Mr Fakir Syed comes from a distinguished family of nobles of the City of Lahore. He tells the story of how the Muslims of Lahore called upon a Sikh leader, Ranjit Singh to save them. How under this illiterate Sikh ruler blind from one eye, Lahore because a University in itself where you could not find someone who was not well versed in written and spoken Persian. A great untold story of the great city of Lahore.

[@SpinnerSingh]

Sikh rule was based on Punjabi Nationalism...Sikh Rule means self determination, protection, and freedom for all people regardless of religion caste creed gender etc. Sikh Rule is also called Khalsa Raj. When we Sikhs say Raj Karega Khalsa it means the rule of a land where all people are socially, economically, personally, and from a community standpoint free...This may not have happened completely in history but it is the truth and ideal world the Sikh Guru's propagated and it is what we will continue striving for...Khalsa Raj will be established again and all Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists etc. will have freedoms in one place that is not based on hate. So stop hating on other Punjabi's and realize the power of Punjabi Nationalism and what the Punjabi's are capable of doing together.

[@ssimba2785]

SpinnerSingh Can you tell me how many Sikhs got killed for your Khalsa raj?

[@SpinnerSingh]

S simba theres no official numbers. but not only Sikhs died for it...many Muslims were allys and many Hindus too. Khalsa Raj does not mean Sikhs rule. It means Everyone has equal self determination/freedoms that is guaranteed by the Khalsa.

[@Amardeep661]

+SpinnerSingh when will you people stop twisting gurus words raj karega khalsa means only the pure shall rule pure meaning like panj piyarre when sikhs go back to the ways of guru gobind singh ji meaning everyone has to be amritdhari

[@SpinnerSingh]

+Amardeep661 You clearly didn't understand anything I wrote. Khalsa Raj is not domination nor conquering it is liberating all types of people especially non-sikh and give all people right to live as they please. Read Life of Banda Singh Bahadur by Dr. Ganda Singh, Sri Guru Panth Parkash by Rattan Singh Bangu, Shamsher Khalsa Giani Gian Singh and I could name 100 other books. Raj Karega Khalsa means nothing without the second part of the dohra line: Kwar hoai sab milengay bache sharan jo hoai. All those who require freedoms/protection will find it where the Khalsa engages in politics.

[@SpinnerSingh]

+Amardeep661 Have you not read how the Sikh Empire worked under Ranjit Singh alongside Akali Phoola Singh and Hari Singh Nalwa?

[@arslanahmad25]

for heavens sake. that wasnt ranjit singh who did that. those were 2 local sikh nawabs who issued those orders. ranjit singh was invited by punjabi muslim leaders of lahore at the time to get rid of those 2 sikh nawabs who took over lahore. when ranjit took power he removed them both. ranjit was most secular ruler of his time. his court used to purchase qurannfrom calligraphers when mugals boycotted punjabi calligraphers. his army had majority of muslims and 4 out of 12 generals were mislims. literacy rate of pujjab was 80 and lahore was 88 percent. fakir azizidin was is minster and so on. i am guessing you have that knowledge which u u have heard from molvis and pakistani text books. grow up

[@arslanahmad25]

ranjit singh himself was a bhatti rajput. he was from sansi clan. after fall of bhattis in rajputana by rival party many bhattis migrated to south punjab. to avoid slaughter in jasailmer. those rajputs were also regarded as sansis (khanabadosh bhattis) sansi is subcast of bhattis and ranjit singh was from that. dullah bhatti was also from nasal of those rajputs. dont try to teach me history.

[@arslanahmad25]

[@PranavGogwekar]

Akbar, Sher Shah Suri, Tipu Sultan, Maulana Azad, Khan Abdul Gafar Khan and many more are glamorised in Indian textbooks. Invaders and destroyers like Ghuri, Ghazni, Babur, Aurangzeb are not shown in good light because of what they did. Regarding recent events, it's a political agenda and not part of default culture.

[@m.r.chandrashekaragupta4952]

Mr. Rana Ejaz: I am from Mysore city, the kingdom once ruled by Tippusultan & my village is 'Devana Halli', where Tippusultan was born. Caan U show any muslim being named as tippusultan [before Mysore tiger tippusultan]. His father, Hyder ali did not have male children for long time. On a Hindu saint 'TIPPESWAAMY's advice Hyder ali & his wife performed puja to Hindu god as per Hindu tradition. So, his son was named as TIPPUsultan. So, pakistanis, who divided India based on religion, should NOT UTTER the name of tippusultan. 95% of tippusultan's army was made up of Hindus. His prime minister & intelligence Cheif was Dewan Purnaiah, a Hindu. Most of greatness attributed to tippusultan, was because of these & tipu sultan's father Hyder ali. Due to misrule of Mysore's king, the people revolted & choose Hyder ali as their leader, religion was irrelevant. Hyder ali & Purnaiah spread their network right up to Napoleon, the king of France & developed the rudimentary rocket technology for warfare, U can see these in museum in France. British were scared for this reason. Tippusultan was great fighter with these strenghs. But, quoting tippusultan's name, Mirqasim, one of the army leader went on killing Hindus who did not convert to islam. Most [not all] present muslims in south India particularly in Karnataka, Kerala etc., were converted like this by coercion of sword. In a religious pilgrimage place 'Meelukotte' & other places 98% of Hindu male people were slaughtered on Diwali festival day. Families of all these do not perform Diwali festival to this day. Hindu's lost trust in tippusultan [for this reason people does not want to celebrate tippusultan's birth day]. Betrayal of this Mirqasim led to downfal of tippusultaan. Of course tippusultan did a lot for his people, most were Hindus. So, tippusulttan is a symbol of Hinddu & muslim unity. so, pakistanis, who divided India in the name of religion have NO right to even utter tippusultan's name.

[@PranavGogwekar]

Rana Ejaz Now u are contradicting yourself. You asked why Aurangzeb road was renamed. It was renamed because we prefer an Indian scientist and People's President over a Turko Mughal Emperor who was anti Hindu. Aurangzeb invaded lands and bankrupted his empire in doing so. India existed even before his invasion. He didn't contributed much to this land. But he destroyed Hindu temples and imposed more taxes on Hindus. No doubt he was a devoted Muslim but he was not kind towards his Hindu subjects unlike Akbar.

[@PranavGogwekar]

Rana Ejaz But Akbar was tolerant unlike Aurangzeb. Why do you think the Mughal Empire fell after him? It was simply because of his policies. Hindus, especially Rajputs were loyal to him because they had marital alliances and oath of loyalty since the time of Akbar. But his policies like destroying temples and converting with force led to his downfall. Many temples were destroyed during his reign. But at least we are a secular country which believes the country belongs to everyone. We don't need advice from a country which was created only for one community and propagates hatred towards Hindus and others. We have Muslims in politics, films and sports. How many non Muslims can u name from Pakistan who are part of your politics, films or sports?

Muslims shaheed our Three SIKH GURU and 10th Guru 's 4 children and thousand of Sikhs.Did anybody see any Sikh blaming for that on today's Muslim.

[@JHOOLAYLAL]

+Beebaa Naj it was Mughals and they did that for political expedience. They killed many of the Muslim Sufi(s) too. Aurangzeb made Khattaks and Bangash fight each other; on which Khushhaal Khan Khattak wrote: Aurangzeb is that Muslim ruler who only wants to save his rule/throne, and doesn't care if the people dying on either side are Muslim. So, it was never Muslims vs Sikhs but Mughals vs Sikhs. Take Dulla Bhatti for example, he was a Muslim but fought against Mughals. All for his pride and to avenge his father. Ranjeet singh (according to my understanding) was against this religious zealousness, both in Sikhs and in Muslims. I am from Sialkot and people in my area still respect Baba Guru Nanak as a saint of their own. People like Baba Bulleh Shah, Shah Hussain, Baba Guru Nanak, Ranjeet Singh, Guru Gobind Singh, etc are above religious divides, they belong to all of the Punjab and Punjabis. Long Live Punjab.

ranjit singh was probably one of the best rulers in the last 1000 years in the Indian subcontinent

[@javedsultan4830]

Ranjit was kana one-eyed dog

[@guruword8378]

Javed Sultan he was no dog but he may been one eyed but he still beat many afghans, kashmiri and muslim Punjabis

[@javedsultan4830]

Guru Word Only because Muslims at that time were not united.. We ruled India for 1000 years.. and Ranjit Kana ruled only for 30

[@punjabiconnection1190]

Javed Sultan by calling him kana you only insult yourself - you are two eyed and what have you achieved?

[@guruword8378]

Javed Sultan no ranjit singh ruled for 40 years and muslims didn't rule india for 1000 years they ruled different parts of india for 600 years especially northern and central india whole of india was probably 150 years but muslims have ruled what we call Pakistan longer than they have ruled india and the only reason why muslims got into india was because hindus were divided and fighting with eachother and some didn't want to fight but just keep their kingdom

It's quiet funny how this comment section explains how Britain took over south Asia and caused partition. us Asians never learn do we.....

[@tajinder42]

Maharaja Ranjit Singh died in June 1839. After 10 years of his death, Britishers annexed punjab in 1849. At that time Britishers analysed, 78% of population of Punjab is educated. Now they start planning how to break this system. The indigenous education of Punjab was crippled, checked, and was nearly destroyed. Britishers brought G.W. Leitner , an education expert from England to Punjab. He took 35 years to destroy the indigenous education system of Punjab. Britishers made us illiterate, looted our wealth. G.W. Leitner wrote the entire history in his book : History of Indigenous Education in the Panjab: Since Annexation and in 1882. Maharaja Ranjit Singh was the greatest sikh ruler and every religion was respected. That was the Khalsa Raj.

Nehru and Gandhi sacrificed our Punjab for their India. Punjabis have always been betrayed by them, first by the Dogras during the Anglo-Sikh war and then 1947 until today. And our Punjabis are still not realizing what had and is going on.

[@Krishna-Tripathi]

100% agreed brotha.I was gonna make the same comment untill i read yrs.But unfortunately hindus never acknowledge this fact and our sikhs also r not as much aware of that as they shld be.However nowdays social media is helping a lot to bring out these hidden facts of history that the corrupt indian media would have never unfolded.So hopefully the future will be better and will bring chardikala for all.
