Sher-e-Punjab's bravery and love: The legacy of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and the story of human emotion

New -Delhi, June 26 (IANS). If we have a view on the History of June 27, the pride of Sher-E-Punjab Maharaja Ranjit Singh is an inspiration. He was an idea of ​​secularism, courage, art and humanity. As much as the sword was shone in his life, the heat of love is also. Ranjit Singh was born on November 2, 1780. In childhood, he lost his one eye light due to smallpox, but his intentions were so clean and sharp that the whole world became vague before his vision. At the age of 10, when the children played marks, Ranjit Singh fought the first battle with his father and at the age of 17 chased the king Zaman Shah Durrani of Afghanen. At the age of just 12, the father’s shadow woke up from his head, but Ranjit Singh did not miss the Rajpat. At the age of just 20, on April 12, 1801, he was declared to the Maharaja of Punjab in Amritsar. Guru Nanak’s descendants crowned him, this moment became indelible in the history of Punjab forever. Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s reign was one of the Ragis where no one was considered exalted, nor on religion. Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs and Christians, all looked like. His army was a French officer, but the British are careful. He knew that the intentions of the British Empire were not favorable for India. Ranjit Singh’s reign was also the era of education and culture. Village Hortal Schools, Women’s Education and Sikh Arts were renamed. Big Gurudwaras such as Patna Sahib and Hazur Sahib Nanded were reconstructed during their period. A less popular but heart -affected aspect of Ranjit Singh’s life is the story of his love. Gul Bahar, a Muslim dancer from Amritsar, made the Maharaja crazy. When Ranjit Singh Gul Bahar suggested to become a girlfriend, he refused flat and said that if you wanted a relationship, then get married. It was an adventure and unusual thing at the time. But Maharaja Ranjit Singh accepted it wholeheartedly. The family members of Gul Bahar have placed a condition that if they want to get married, then ask for a relationship and ask for a relationship. It is said that the Maharaja also approved this condition. But when the case reached the Akal branch, Dharmacharya burst out. Marrying a non-SIKH girl at that time is considered a crime in the discipline of the Sikh Creed. He was sentenced to wash the Gurudwara floor. According to many historians, they had to eat to the whip. The historian Iqbal Kaiser writes that Maharaja Ranjit Singh also acknowledged that he ate rope to marry Gul Bahar. This stop of love proved that Ranjit Singh was not only the king of the battlefield, but also the king of emotion. Another bright anecdote in Ranjit Singh’s legacy, Kohinor. This diamond received him from Afghan ruler Shuja Shah Durrani, whom he dedicated to the Jagannath temple in Odisha. Where the rest of the emperor walks around in his crown, Ranjit Singh offered him as a symbol of faith. -Ians psk/gkt
