Ranjit Singh was born at Gujranwala on 2nd Nov. 1780 in the house of Mahan Singh, the leader of Sukarchakyia misl. His father was died hardly when he was a boy of 12. From 1792 to 1797, a council of Regency consisting of Ranjit’s mother, his mother-in-law and Diwan Lakhpati Rai controlled the actual affairs of the state. In 1797 Ranjit Singh overthrew the regency and took over the actual administration in his hands.
When Ranjit Singh took over the leadership of the Sukara- chakyias, his authority extended over few districts of the Rachna and Chaj Doab. The Bhangi misl was the most important and controlled extensive areas from the Jhellum and then down the river apart from actual control of Lahore and Amritsar.
The Ahluwalia misl controlled the Jullunder’s Doab, and the scattered territories extending from Sutlej to Jamuna. Afgan Chief was ruling over Kasur. Multan, Attoch, Peshawar, Barmi, Kashmir, apart from usurping the authority of Kabul Government. Zaman Shah led a number of invasions to assert his authority.
But the Golden opportunity came to Ranjit Singh when Afghanistan remained busy in internal civil strife for almost three decades. And the most important misls towards the close of eighteenth century headed for disintegration. Ranjit Singh fully utilised the opportunity and by following the policy of Blood and iron, carried out a kingdom in the central Punjab.
The Afghan ruler authorised Ranjit Singh to occupy Lahore and rule it on behalf of the Afghans Suzerain. Ranjit Singh took the possession of Lahore after defeating Bhangi Misl. He assumed the title of Raja after possession of Lahore.
The Chief of other misl and the Nawab of Qasure formed a coalition against Ranjit Singh. The coalition forces were led by Sardar Gulab Singh Bhangi. But soon Gulab died of excessive drinking.
This ended the unity of Sikhs against Ranjit Singh. Ranjit Singh also snatched Amritsar from Bhangis in 1805. The occupation and control of Lahore and Amritsar put Ranjit Singh fountainhead of political power in Punjab.
