Maharaja Ranjit Singh Ji
Born to Sardar Mahan Singh and Raj Kaur on 2-11-1780. Growing older, he collected the spread out Sikh forces under a kingdom. In 1799, captured the city of Lahore and afterwards spread his kingdom from Satluj to Peshawar, up to the frontiers of Tibet. Established an agreement with the British in 25-4-1809, agreeing to Sutlej as the mutual boundary. Travelers to Punjab, and foreigners were bowled over by his sharp intellect and organisation. He established a currency, not under his own name - but under the names of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and Guru Gobind Singh Ji. He left for heavenly abode on 27-6-1839. By then the British had taken over all of India but did not dare to look at Punjab while he was alive.
