The word Misl is the Punjabi version of Confederation. Sikh Misls have an important place in Sikh History as the foundations for the Sikh empire were laid by the formation of Sikh Misls.Misls were historic necessities without which the survival of the Panthic organisation was not tenable. Misls not only helped keep the Panthic organisations united but also helped in the development and spread of Sikhism.
Merits of Misl Organisations :
Demerits of the Misl System :
Although the misls rendered many historic and timely merits, yet after 1767, they proved very harmful. This time was a period of vacuum in the history of India. Any stable, progressive, strong willed and opportunist nation could exploit the conditions to establish a lasting rule by filling up the void. The Sikhs had all the characteristics to do so. It was not some thing impossible for the Sikhs to establish an empire in Northern India. Forester, who came to India as a traveller in 1783 writes his impressions in his travelogues. He wrote that he had no hesitation in recording that the Sikhs would become the primary force among the Indian states and shortly after that they would prove destructive for their neighbours.What Maharaja Ranjit Singh desired could have been fulfilled a century earlier. On the death of Najaf Khan in 1782, there was no strong minister in Delhi. Sikhs wasted away that golden opportunity.Shah Alam Second had reached an accord with Marahattas and the British Government started direct indulgence in his affairs. With the stepping in of the Britishers the entire area under the Sikh protection was lost. The Sikhs remained confined to the land of five rivers.
The following are the harms done by the misls :
Conclusion :
So, we can say it with conviction that the misls who had caused the Afghans, Mughals and Marahttas to eat a humble pie, got themselves involved in such small inner strifes that they proved themselves no better than local power.
