The Rise Of Regional States - Punjab

  • The Sikh Khalsa (army of the pure) revolted against the economic and political repressions in Punjab towards the Aurangzeb’s rule. Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth and last guru, transferred the Sikhs into a warrior community and established the doctrine of Khalsa or the “Military Bortherhood” of Sikhs, which gave to Sikh community a great sense of unity.
  • After the formation of Khalsa, the political and military power of the Sikhs grew tremendously and by the early 1800’s, the Sikhs managed to carve out an independent kingdom in the Mughal Empire, which they retained until the British annexation in the 1850s.
