Question

Maharaja Ranjit Singh and Tipu Sultan a 150 word comparison on their relations with British

Answer 1

Answer:

THE rise of Ranjit Singh in the Punjab was a unique phenomenon. It can in no way be associated with the decline of the Mughal Empire or consequential rise of the provincial satraps in various regions of the Indian sub-continent. However, some historians have attempted to make an odious comparison between Tipu Sultan of Mysore and Ranjit Singh. Tipu was called The Tiger of Mysore and Ranjit Singh, the Lion of the Punjab. But the only thing common between Tipu and Ranjit Singh is that the former fell fighting at Seringpatnam in the summer of the same year (1799) in which Ranjit Singh conquered Lahore, the ancient capital of the Punjab. In a way, they have a relationship of one’s fall and other’s rise.

Relation between the British and Ranjit singh and Tipu Sultan

Explanation:

Tipu Sultan's Relation with the British

• Between 1767-1769 Hyder Ali & the British fought the First Mysore War and Tipu Sultan had won the war causing a treaty to be signed by the British. The Marathas attacked Hyder Ali, however the English did not come to his aid as against the promise (as per the treaty).
• After the British captured Make's port from the French, they had refused Hyder Ali 's demand to "vacate" it, so in the year 1780 Hyder Ali had declared war on them. In the year 1782 he died, his "son" Tipu Sultan continued the 2-year war & the Treaty came into being once again in the year 1784.
• Then, again in the year 1789, Tipu attacked Travancore king, who was English ally, and in the year 1790 they waged a war against Tipu. Then, in the year 1792, Tipu was forced to bring about peace. The British had had a large share since the war – Coorg & Malabar in the West, the South of Dindigul & Baramahal to the East.
• Tipu had to pay enormous compensation to the war amounting more than £3000000 and keep two of his children as the English's hostages. Both sides then released the prisoners of war. The battle ended Tipu 's southern supremacy and re-established the British. The deceptive actions of the British had defeated Tipu Sultan completely.

Ranjit Singh's Relation with the British

• Through the 1809 "Amritsar Treaty", the Sutlej was set as a border between two states and the two powers became friendly. Because of this treaty, besides suffering geographical & economic defeats, Ranjith Singh sacrificed his cherished political ideals. The Cis-Sutlej Sikh states were therefore officially under the  protection of he Brtitish
• The Treaty allowed him full freedom of action to the north. This allowed him to "extract" tribute from less influential leaders like Jats and other Sikhs and eventually rule areas like Peshawar and Kashmir. The Sikh Empire, which lasted until the subjugation of Britain in 1849, was reunited with the assistance of the Westernisation of his Armies in the region.
• Ranjit Singh wanted to annex 'Sindh", however was unable to do it owing to the opposition by the British. The treaty of "perpetual friendship" with the British was concluded in 1831. In the year 1838 he entered into a three-party alliance between the English & Shah Shuja, deposing the exiled Amir of Afghanistan Dost Muhammad Khan & placing Shah Shuja on the throne. The war in Afghanistan was brought about. Maharaja Ranjit Singh had died on 27th June 1839 after the Sikh kingdom after effectively ruling the kingdom for 40 years..
