THERE IS NO DISTINCTION BETWEEN HEROES AND VILLAINS;
VESTED INTERESTS CAN MAKE ANYONE SOUND ANYTHING:
ENIGMA OF RANJIT SINGH HAUNTS LAHORE ALL THE TIME.

The decline of the Mughal Empire had obvious security issues in the region. The reign of Nawab Zakaria Khan and icons like Princess Sharafunnisa were slowly vanishing into oblivion. The attack of Ahmad Shah Abdali and the brave resistance by Mir Mannu too vanished and Mughalani Begum came into power. Chaos followed with attack of the three dacoits in Lahore. It is history. The curse of their rule mitigated with alternative interpretations. Our own ancestors spoke of the curse of the rule of these three, always ready to attack people, take their goods and steal their women. Whole city of Lahore was linked to adjoining houses, so that if the narrow streets could not keep away the dacoits, the inhabitants could flee from the roof to other vicinities. There used to be wells in many houses and small secret rooms at water level. When men wen outside the houses they put the women and children in those small rooms, and given daggers to them. Aim slaughter yourself before being harassed and raped by these bandits. Th citizens of Lahore tired of all this invited another dacoit of Gujranwala to capture Lahore. The city gates opened and this dacoit allowed the administration of Lahore. It is history and now being mitigated with paid lobbies to undo truth.

Foreign travelers tell us a lt of things. Jacquement  became very close to Ranjit Singh, and the Sikh shared his ailments with him. In many letters the French man reveals the total impotence of the Sikh leader. These are published facts in various books. Mufti Ghulam Sarwar reveals the sexual antics of Ranjit Singh on the minaret of Wazeer Khan Mosque. Jacquement adds to it. If you google the afflictions of Ranjit Singh, you come across the reference of the Sikh having Chronic syphilis, and his urethra full of pus, with him unable to urinate or father children. Khushwant Singh lists his 50 Children. Major Smyth lists the actual father of many of these sons and relates that only Khurrack Singh was his only offspring. Check it out yourself! Not accusations, things published in the lifetime of Ranjit Singh, or some years later. Now we make him a hero, just like India tries to make the dacoit Shivaji a hero.

Our goal is to enliven research. Remember both aspects, the good and the bad.  Not merely heroes, but villains of highest order too. Rest is history.
