Maharaj Ranjit Singh Yanche Charitra

Ranjit Singh was the first Indian in a millennium to turn the tide of invasion back into the homelands of the traditional conquerors of India the Pashtuns (Afghans) and he thus became known as the Lion of the Punjab. At their height his domains extended from the Khyber Pass in the northwest to the Sutlej River in the east and from the Kashmir region at the northern limit of the Indian subcontinent southward to the Thar (Great Indian) Desert.
