Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive biography of Ranjit Singh, contemporary of Napoleon and one of the most powerful and charismatic Indian rulers of his ageRanjit Singh has been largely written out of accounts of the subcontinent's past by recent Western historians, yet he had an impact that lasts to this day. He unified the warring chiefdoms of the Punjab into an extraordinary northern Empire of the Sikhs, built up a formidable modern army, kept the British in check to the south of his realm, and closed the Khyber Pass through which plunderers had for centuries poured into India. Unique among empire builders, he was humane and just, gave employment to defeated foes, honored religious faiths other than his own, and included Hindus and Muslims among his ministers. In person he was a colorful character whose his court was renowned for its splendor; he had 20 wives, kept a regiment of "Amazons," and possessed a stable of thousands of horses. The authors make use of a variety of eyewitness accounts from Indian and European sources, from reports of Maratha spies at the Lahore Durbar to British parliamentary papers and travel accounts. The story includes the range of the maharaja's military achievements and ends with an account of the controversial period of the Anglo-Sikh Wars following his death, which saw the fall of his empire while in the hands of his successors.

Download or read book The First Anglo-Sikh War 1845–46 written by David Smith and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First Anglo-Sikh War broke out due to escalating tensions between the Sikh Empire and the British East India Company in the Punjab region of India in the mid-nineteenth century. Political machinations were at the heart of the conflict, with Sikh rulers fearing the growing power of their own army, while several prominent Sikh generals actively collaborated with the East India Company. The British faced a disciplined opponent, trained along European lines, which fielded armies numbering in the tens of thousands. The war featured a number of closely contested battles, with both sides taking heavy losses. This fully illustrated study of the First Anglo-Sikh War tells the story of one of the major colonial wars of the nineteenth century, as the East India Company attempted to wrest control of the Punjab region from a Sikh Empire riven by infighting.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sikhs and the Sikh Wars: The Rise, Conquest, and Annexation of the Punjab State That some erroneous ideas on the whole subject should have become prevalent, and threaten to be stereotyped is, perhaps, natural; the more so, no doubt, because Lord Gough made a point, not only of refusing to answer his critics in the press, but of forbidding his friends to do it for him.

Download or read book Six Battles for India written by George Bruce and published by Sapere Books. This book was released on 2020-11-09 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Bruce's remarkable book uncovers the history of the two Anglo-Sikh Wars that erupted in India in the 1840s. Perfect for fans of William Dalrymple, Lawrence James and Richard Holmes. By the end of the nineteenth century India was described as the jewel in the crown of the British Empire, but how did such a small island come to dominate one of the richest lands in the world? Without doubt the toughest opponents to British control was led by the Sikhs. Ranjit Singh, the brilliant "Lion of Punjab", who ruled the Sikh Empire had revolutionised his army by employing French officers from Napoleon's Grand Army to train his artillery and infantry on the European model. He had ruled well and created a cultural and artistic renaissance in his lands, yet his death led to infighting amongst his successors and within a few years tension with the neighbouring British-protected territory broke out into open warfare. George Bruce explores how the military might of the East India Company clashed with the powerful forces of the Sikh Empire in six hard-fought battles. Using a wide array of contemporary source materials he demonstrates how close the British forces were to being decimated and how they were only saved by treason within the Sikh ranks. The Times described Bruce's books as "well researched, with a keen eye for historical detail." Six Battles for India: The Anglo-Sikh Wars, 1845-6 and 1848-9 is a brilliant account of one of the conflicts that led to the formation of the British Empire. It is part of the series Conflicts of Empire, which also includes Retreat from Kabul and The Burma Wars: 1824-1886.

Download or read book Battle Tactics And War Manoeuvres of the Sikhs written by D.S Saggu VSM and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2018-06-07 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eighteenth century was an intense period in the history of the Sikhs. Extreme persecution continued unabated for over six decades. The Sikhs were virtually crushed by the mighty Islamic powers–Mughals and Afghans. Their main objective was to extirpate the Sikhs because they were the biggest impediment to their complete domination of Hindustan. A handful of the Sikhs were fighting the battle of their survival. With sheer strength of their arms, resoluteness and indomitable courage, they came out from their hideouts and spread over the entire Punjab.The essence of amazing battle tactics extensively devised and deployed by the Sikh warriors, their sterling courage, unmatched military skill in wielding the weapons, rapid regrouping and military acumen to launch sudden surgical shock attacks is capsuled in this book, which hitherto remained unknown. A rare piece of historical evidence that speaks volumes of the indomitable courage of the Sikhs by their most embittered enemy.
