His greatness cannot be paralleled by any of his contemporaries. He was a benign ruler and always cared for the welfare of his subjects irrespective of their caste or creed. The Maharaja had full faith in the broad based harmony and cooperation with which the Hindus and the Muslims lived and maintained peace and prosperity. The evidence of the whole hearted co-operation of the Hindu Courtiers, Generals and Administrators is not far to seek. The spirit of Maharaja Ranjit Singh's rule was secular. In the present thesis I have selected only the Hindu Courtiers and Officials at the Lahore Darbar.

Our country is secular, it is true, but there is no denying the fact that religious and moral education has a very useful function to seIVe. Modern psychology has emphasized that, if the child is given proper guidance at his fonnatic stages, it will greatly help integrate his personality. The example of the teacher and his relations with students leave a deep impression on the minds of students. Moral instruction, I feel, is bener given by example than by precept. .The great figures of the past, specially the heroes of his­ tory, have shown mankind how to fight successfully against evil and face the challenges, from time to time. In this book are told stories about Ranjit Singh, Maharaja of the Punjab. He did for India and Indians in general, and for the Punjab and Punjabis in particular, something unique. He freed his country-men from centuries old slavery of fie~e, fa­ natic, foreign rule.

  • S. S. Johar Preface
    Dro ,. s. s. Johar Preface This is the story of the Sikh Struggle after Guru Gobind Singh left his mortal coil in 1708. This was the most critical period in the history of the Sikhs. During the period they had to make many sacrifices and were ultimately able to retain the Sikh Empire under Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Though the Sikhs had to pass through the difficult period pley produced such dynamic and dashing men of courage like Banda Bahadur, Nawab Kapur Singh, Jassa Singh Ahaluwalia, Jassa Singh Ramgarhia, Baghel Singh, Baba Deep Singh and Ranjit Singh. They were fearless people who had only welfare of the Panth in their minds and they laid down their lives for a poble cause. I have spent ten long years to complete this momentous work, and now I hope that the present generation will learn lesson from the deeds of these brave and courageous people. This is the time when our new generation should be told about the heroic deeds of Sikh generals of this period whose only aim was to save Sikhism from extinction. Sikh history would have been different if these dashing and fearless people did not appear on the scene. Sikhism is once again faced with the crisis of identity; its very existence is threatened and unless such noble souls appear on the scene, the Sikh individuality will grow astray and the great religion will only remain in the pages of history. Let the new generation learn from the heroic deeds of these heroes to remain united like a brave nation and work for the service of mankind.
