The video is interview with Noted historian on the Anglo-Sikh wars Dr Amarpal Singh Sidhu who said the British got control of Punjab due to treachery from within the Khalsa Army.UK-based Sidhu said there wouldn’t have been any Pakistan had the Sikh Kingdom — Punjab was then an independent country — flourished after the death of Maharaja Ranjit Singh (in 1839). The Anglo-Sikh wars (fought post-Ranjit Singh’s death) defined the course of history of Punjab, enabling the British Empire to embed itself in India for the next 100 years. Sidhu earlier moderated a session on “Two Battles for survival — Feroz Shah 1845 and Chillianwala 1849”.
