Maharaja Ranjit Singh who was the founder of Sikh empire was also known as the one eyed king. He had lost his eye to smallpox when he was kid, but that doesn’t made him weak. He was later known as the king with one eye who can sea everyone equally.

He was also known as Paras which literally means the philosopher’s stone just because of his philanthropic nature. It was said to be that he was hailed as paras after he provided an innocent old woman with lots of money and utensils to live happily.
