Question

Achievements of maharaja rabbit Singh answer founded

Answer 1

The collapse of the Mughal authority and inroads of Ahmad Shah Abdali had created political convulsion in Punjab. Ahmad Shah Abdali only collected revenue but did not exercise any political control over the area so the province became a no-mans land.

These political conditions were conducive to rise to the power of Sikh misls under Sikh Chieftains which had extensive territories in Punjab. At the time of Ranjit Singh’s birth on 13 November, 1780, the greater part of Punjab plains was divided among twelve Sikh misls or associations of warriors.
