Book excerpt: This thesis studies the course of Anglo-Sikh relations as a case study in the dynamics of imperialism in a generally neglected period, the first half of the nineteenth century. The Sikh state was British India's most formidable victim, going down only after desperately fought battles in two wars. -- The Anglo-Sikh relationship between 1780 and 1846 was shaped by strategy, war, trade and by cultural difference. The overall pattern of British Indian strategies have often been studied: here the focus is on their effect on the Punjab. Wars - the Sind, Afghan and First Sikh campaigns -have been analysed before too. Here the emphasis is on the emotions that they generated and changes which they brought about in Anglo-Sikh relations. Economic history has been a market garden for theories of imperialism. Here that neglected briar patch, the economic penetration of the pre-conquest Punjab, has been assailed. Changes in contemporary cultural attitudes between the Punjab and British India did much to shape the events of 1780-1846, and so they are interwoven at several stages of the story. -- The study provides the background to Anglo-Sikh relations from about 1809 onwards, but it concentrates on the 1838-45 period. This was when Maharaja Ranjit Singh, architect of the Sikh state, died, and when the ailing state had to deal with resultant internal strains and with the demands of the British Afghan war. The anti-Russian strategy which led to this disastrous war gave way to a British determination to re-establish their prestige and paramountcy in the north-west. An army coup at Lahore gave the Sikhs a similar desire, and the Sikh army invaded British India in 1845-6. This First Sikh war was followed by treaties so effectively terminating the independence of the Punjab that this study does not proceed beyond them.

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.

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.
