Punjabi Muslims call the Anglo-Sikh Wars the Anglo-Punjabi Wars. But the historical record tells a different story. The Khalsa army was Sikh at its core. Only the artillery gun crews were Muslim, serving under Sikh officers in a Sikh imperial state.
Some Punjabi Muslims even raised irregular levies to fight for the British against the Sikhs. Now, facing pressure from Afghans and Balochis, they are claiming Ranjit Singh and Sikh military history as their own. This episode examines the historical lie, the Anglo-Sikh Wars, and what Ranjit Singh actually did to Punjabi Muslim communities.
