Daku Bazooka Singh

Ledend, I got these quotes of another thread, accounts of Englishmen in Punjab during his time and other historians.

Maharaja Ranjit Singh also put Sikhism first and foremost in his rule, his was the ONLY empire at the time that never punished criminals through torture and maming (i.e. the Moguls), but your confusing a king with a sant, he wasn't a sant, he was a King...of Punjab, he never took over and dubbed it "Khalistan", so he lived as one, but also brought about peace to the land and did enormous amounts of seva, he had all coins emblazoned with Guru Nanak the way we have the Queen on ours.....and you cut on the fact that he wasn't Sikh?!?!?! Honestly whats WRONG with our people??!?! He wasn't a Sant he was a RAJA....I once was talking to my folks about his alleged rather "non-Sikhi" habits and they just told me listen there's plenty in todays culture that "Sikh" people do that is rather un-Sikh-like, but to understand his time you would have to understand the Culture back then, he did enjoy but if anyone earned it...HE did, he united all the Sikhs that were in seperate Missals fighting amongst themselves and he defeated every single one and fought in numerous battles, his Generals were former military officers for NAPOLEAN for freaks sake, thats a hardcore military yo! Was he a perfect Sikh, I doubt it, but the fact that people hate on him, I think the best thing about his rule is that he seperated religion from politics, he was a straight up leader.
