A formidable and compassionate ruler, Singh captured the territory spanning from the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan to Kashmir and Jammu. He was known for the religious freedom in his kingdom and faith was not a barrier to rising to positions of power within his government. He oversaw the marble and gold work that adorned the famous Harmandir Sahib, the Golden Temple, in Amritsar. Born in Gujranwala in present-day Pakistan, Ranjit Singh may have lost an eye to smallpox in his childhood, but he made for a formidable military commander, beginning his conquests and the establishment of the Sikh Empire at the age of 18. His capital was first established at Gujranwala but he then shifted it after his coronation as Maharajah to Lahore. Singh took advantage of men with various skills from different backgrounds, including European mercenaries. Unfortunately after his death, power struggles between his sons led to the downfall of his empire and the annexation of ruling power by the British East India Trading Company. His descendants never regained real control of the empire and many died far from Punjab, exiled in England. Singh was the last Indian owner of the legendary Koh-i-noor diamond, which he willed to a temple in Orissa on his deathbed. It was seized by the British East India Company and presented to Queen Victoria. It now lies in the possession of Queen Elizabeth II as part of the British Crown Jewels collection. --------------------------- Learn Hindi with HindiPod101!

It is located in the southern province of Rajasthan in the lap of the Aravalli mountain chain and is the most populous and beautiful city in the world. This city is very important to the history of India. Even today when it comes to the Battle of Courage, the first name that comes to mind is Maharana Pratap Ji who fought with Akbar in Haldigaati to protect his motherland. He left all the facilities of the palaces and went to the forest where he ate grass meal and did not accept the slavery of the Mughal Sultanate. In this war his own master loyal horse Chetak was killed. His statue is located on the Chetak Circle route. It is not only India's but the world's most beautiful city. Udaipur has beautiful scenery, is full of green vegetation, has peak heights, and all around the mountains are distant views of lakes attracting millions of tourists. After seeing it every one gets enraptured. So the stunning natural beauty cannot be debated. The basis of maintaining this natural beauty is the fresh water of these lakes, so it is called the City of Lakes. Here the introduction to any sightseeing is not required. When you see Lake Palace at night and Jagmandir glittering with the stars, it gives a heavenly experience. The water management system of the lakes is a wonderful example that symbolizes the beauty of ancient India's advanced science. After being located far away from each other, they are connected together and gets reduced water supply from each other with mutual contribution. --------------------------- Learn Hindi with HindiPod101!
