About Sikh emperor

The Sikh Empire was a regional power based in the Punjab region of South Asia. It existed from 1799, when Maharaja Ranjit Singh captured Lahore, to 1849, when it was defeated and annexed by the British East India Company following the Second Anglo-Sikh War. At its peak in the mid-19th century, the empire extended from Gilgit and Tibet in the north to the deserts of Sindh in the south and from the Khyber Pass in the west to the Sutlej in the east, and was divided into 8 provinces. Religiously diverse, with an estimated population of 12 million in 1800, it was the last major region of the Indian subcontinent to be conquered by the British Empire.
