During this period , the Sikh power was growing in the North - West region of Punjab. The british made a peace treaty with Maharaj Ranjit Singh to check his growing power. After his death, there was a lot of infighting amongst sikhs. The sikh had built up a strong army against the british and Afghan aggressions. When the british attacked, the united forces of punjab - Hindu , Muslim and Sikh , faced the huge british army bravely. But prime ministers Lal Singh and commander Tej Singh turned traitors and the punjab army was defeated. They were forced to Sign the treaty of Lahore. The British occupied Jullander Doab and Handed Jammu and Kashmir to Raja Gulab Singh Dorga.
