Maharajah  Ranjit Singh Of Punjab
                                                                                                                  Sikh Maharajah Ranjit Singh was a great worrier. He was controlling Kashmir, Ladakh and Entire North West. He was unbeatable and  English people could not touch his empire until he was  alive. He  conquered  Afghanistan while British, Russian and Mogul could not do it. 
                                          
                                                                                                                It is interesting to know why he was so strong?  He  modernized his army with the help of European Officers.  Besides that he was very strict regarding  discipline in his army. He also prohibited smoking and drinking in the army.  He prohibited beef in his state.  He totally ban the cow slaughter.

                                                                                                                He was secular by nature and gave equal importance to Hindu, Muslim and Sikh in his army. His Finance Minister was Hindu. Prime Minister was Dogra and Foreign Minister was Muslim. All these shows his true secularism.
                                                                                                               He  built up ' Gurudwaras' at Patana and Nanded in honor of Guru Govind Singh. All Indians are very much proud of his glorious rule. He was ruling over his Empire from his capital Lahore. Sikhs are missing Lahore as it has gone to Pakistan after partition. In the process of partition of India so many sacred places of Sikh religion are now in Pakistan.
