Describe the ralations between the Sikhs and the English after the death of Ranjit Singh.
Answers
Answer:
By the 1840s, the British were the undisputed geopolitical masters of much of India. Through a combination of trade and conquest, their territories expanded rapidly from Madras in the south-east of India all the way up to the Sutlej River, the natural boundary of the Sikh kingdom in the north. While he lived, Ranjit Singh’s strong army had prevented any further British territorial gain but his death and the years of turbulence which followed greatly weakened Fortress Punjab. The land offered much that the British desired. The ground was fertile and the crops were plentiful. The Treasury of Lahore was bursting with riches, and strategically, the north of India was a much sought after prize, bordering with Afghanistan, and the interests and influence of the Russian Tsar.
