Maharaja Ranjit Singh
We're remembering Maharaja Ranjit Singh on his 183rd Death Anniversary on 29th June 2022, Wednesday. He is known as Sher-e-Punjab. The entire population of the Punjab used to sing his praises. Those who had enjoyed the pleasure and comfort of his rule used to fondly describe it to their grandchildren as long as they lived.

He was thus somewhat disfigured. No one, not even the wildest daydreamer, could have then dreamt that this frail, disfigured child was destined to be a great man and that he would, one day, become master of the Punjab and of the Punjabis' hearts; that he would inspire terror in the hearts of those terrible people who had so often invaded, plundered and laid waste this rich and beautiful land of five rivers; that he would be universally acclaimed the 'Lion of the Punjab'.
