When India Destroyed Its Own Westernized Army On Purpose: The First Anglo-Sikh War

The Sikh Nation was completely & totally betrayed by weak men like Tej Singh & Lal Singh, all Sikhs fought to the death, a result of Dogras betrayal all to be loyal to the British & the British raided the wealth of the nation, number one on the list the 300 carat diamond

and so in one battle the Sikh empire inflicted more damage on the british than the qing did in all 3 opium wars

also they were trying to lose

Who is sikh

They weren't "Indian Sikhs", there was no concept of India. You need to be more responsible

This video proves the Indian government has always been against the Sikhs and the hindus had the generals in their pockets. Yet the Khalsa won most of the battles with a world power and their own government and generals against them.

whenever i get mad at sikhs, i come here to watch this video to feel relieved

The Khalsa army fighting the British was a shadow of its former self with their main leaders all dead its was lead by power hungry generals. British strategically waited after Maharaja Ranjit Singh died and his sons unfortunately passed which lead to a power vacuum and the outcome being this.

Internal conflicts won Europeans more conflicts than martial prowess and technology.

Its crazy how many people mispronounced Sikh. Its "SIK" or "SIK-EE" not "SEEK"

you completely ignore the fact that the british army was made of overwhelmingly purbiya soliders and not white british. sikhs hate to acknowledge the fact that they lost to a bunch of bhaiye's twice🤣

This video is so much incorrect. Please read history from wikipedia atleast.
After the death of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, British started looking to destroy the empire but it was very easy for them since there was power tussle going on between Ranjit Singh’s Clan and the Hindu Dogra ministers. British entered into relation with the Hindu Dogras, promising them Jammu and Kashmir and intelligence was shared. Moreover, Khalsa Army was growing independent and they looked at the Royals and Ministers as incapable. This rebellious nature alerted the elites that they needed to suppress and lower the number of Armymen or Monarchy will end.
British had already started bringing more weapons and men to launch a war. Before the Anglo-Sikh war British started capturing some areas. Tensions were increasing as British broke the treaty they signed with Ranjit Singh and were invading bordering areas.
Lal Singh was working as British agent during this war(he had good relations with dogras) and acting on all the instructions he was given by British in advance. Tej Singh was assistant of Lal Singh in all crimes. Both these generals became Sikhs to elevate their status in Khalsa Army but they eventually backstabbed the very Army they were proud of.

After the war, British signed Treaty of Amritsar with Sikh empire. Dogras were given Jammu and Kashmir and Gulab Singh was made as its ruler. British now overlooked the Sikh Durbar and controlled all the policies. Sikh rule was limited.

Please note that during that period, Punjab was an independent kingdom with it's own Royal family and government, and not a part of India.

It's really hard to Watch.

Can we get a part two please? About the second Sikh Anglo war?

British strength 🗿

I heard sources state that the nanakshahi rupee used in the khalsa raj (Sikh empire/Khalistan) was a more powerful currency than the British pound Despite Britain ruling and looting half the world, also crime late was lower then in any parts of the planet until this day
it was diverse and open to diversity it was peaceful and the military like you said could of possibly have even the strongest in the world at that point, As a Sikh I believe so and I think it was even stronger under Ranjit Singh,

In 1857 there was a huge mutiny from Hindus and Muslims under the British raj because new weaponry required the use to pig and cow grease, however the British used the Sikhs whom they recruited into their own army under the names of Sikh regiment for tiny bit more autonomy, and the Sikhs stopped the mutiny
Had Ranjit Singh either not died at 58 In his sleep (maybe due to health reasons that could of been avoided) or had he simply chose a successful successor and let his empire know and let his empire trust that other man just like they did with him (hence the downfall happening because of no trust for a new leader when he died)

Ranjit Singh could of even had died but had the Sikh Anglo wars happened in 1858 instead of 1840s

Then I’m sure the British would of even kicked out of their entire colony, millions of more Sikhs would be alive due to avoided genocide from no partion of panjab, no Indian genocide from 80s-95 (still kinda on going)

And now we have no land, on going silent genocide in India, we were kicked out of majority of our land when they created Pakistan

Khalistan Zindabad

Now Sikhs struggling for independence from Bharat 😂😂…British betrayed them in 1947 😂

Ranjit Singh is pronounced “ Ranjeet” singh and we as Sikhs generally put Maharaja Before it as a sign of respect

Proud to be sikh

More couple of years wait and watch again sikh Empire

This type of history is like you want to lose a war but your army is too strong

Nice work Ezekiel! My great great grandfather was Sikh.

Hey now, least they did'nt lose 65 % of their population to the black death

Ranjit is pronounced Runjeet
Not rahnjaht lol
Sikh is pronounced sickh not seek

Also 1 nanakshahi rupee was equal to 13 pounds of a Britian that ruled and looted half the world
Also when Ranjit Singh
(Pronounced Runjeet) was alive it was essentially a utopia without any crime and he led the khalsa into villages to set up different types of churches schools and taught civilians how to use firearms

Unfortunately the Sikh Maharaja Ranjeet Singh had a weakness for Dogra women , so he appointed many Dogras to senior positions in the army. After his death these senior Dogras sold the Sikh army out to the British.

Lal and Tej Singh were Dogra traitors who were paid off by the British to sell the Sikhs out. They were promised Kashmir by thr British. The Sikh artillery were sent mustard seed instead of gunpowder by the Dogras.

im so proud of being Punjabi.

leaders were all bought and spoons for brit’s after raja ranjit and that is wat weakened empire

even by buying the leaders it was hard for them to die haha

brits were only ones to divide and invade sikhs

was not european style army only they are used to guerilla warfare

can we not call in india cus english brits named indus valley india but was panjab sikh empire the whole time before can u make video on sikh empire vs durrani defeating afghans and all sikh wars

This is like a fucking cartoon plot. Like the Sikh is trying his hardest to throw the battle and it keeps backfiring and he spectacularly wins every engagement. Real bugs bunny shit

its not how powerful you are, its how smart you are is really what matters, you cant let emotions choose your fate....

This was a war between the freedom loving Sikh empire / Punjab and an oppressive invading, lying sinister, dictatorship hiding behind some "company " nonsense. At no point do you Explain that THE BRITISH were largely non white pseudo-slave brown Indians from other parts of India. While the commands were given by the few white british commanders. No loss situation for the actual British. if they lose , tony Lipton simply takes a boat back to the Cotswolds'. While many brown "the british's" families are devastated. If they win, they're paid with a tiny percentage of looted and slave labored money of Indians, from outside of Punjab. These are the same geniuses who commercialized mass slavery. genocide, apartied.

Laal singh and gulab singh betray sikhs.

We need leaders like Napoleon and Ranjit Singh in today’s world and only then will these prosecutions stop..

How often did the Khalsa pillage their own lands? Or was it mostly the concessions from the government part that got them killed?

When 40000 people can control 200 million, then there is a fundamental problem which everyone is choosing to ignore. There is zero unity among Indians as a whole.

Trechery...the excuse of the weak

Can u make more about sikh wat
R

India was created in 1947, it was Bharat

This enraged his men, who ransacked his tent
Oversimplified would be proud.

Hindus back at again ruining everything

British first broke treaty during first Anglo Afghan war

This was happiest empire in indian subcontinent, Britishers destroyed it.
