How did the British establish their supremacy in the Punjab ?
Answers
Answer:
Punjab, also spelled Panjab, was a province of British India. Most of the Punjab region was annexed by the East India Company in 1849, and was one of the last areas of the Indian subcontinent to fall under British control. In 1858, the Punjab, along with the rest of British India, came under the direct rule of the British crown. The province comprised five administrative divisions, Delhi, Jullundur, Lahore, Multan and Rawalpindi and a number of princely states.[1] In 1947, the partition of India led to the province being divided into East Punjab and West Punjab, in the newly created Union of India and Dominion of Pakistan respectively.
Explanation:
The English had conquered most of India and they now turned to the Punjab. The death of Ranjit Singh in 1839, led to anarchy in Punjab, which the English tried to exploit. The annexation of Sindh in 1843 made the Sikhs go to war with the English. In the First Anglo-Sikh War (1845-1846), the Sikhs fought bravely, but owing to the treachery and half-heartedness of their leaders they suffered reverses. They were finally defeated at Sabraon in 1846. A treaty was conduded at Lahore in 1846 and the state placed under British protection. Under the Lahore Treaty, the Jallandhar Doab came under the British control, while Jammu and Kashmir was handed over to Raja Gulab Singh Dogra for a cash payment of five million rupees.
Lord Dalhousie had hardly been in India a few months when the Second Anglo-Sikh War broke out in 1848.. The Sikhs had been feeling humiliated for long. The immediate cause was the rebellion of Mulraj, who proclaimed a religious war against the English. Though the English won in the end, they suffered huge losses. Punjab was annexed to the British empire on March 29, 1849. balip Singh (the minor son of Ranjit Singh), and his mother/Rani Jindan were
pensioned off and sent to England.
