	Maharaja Ranjit Singh:
		Ranjit Singh cleverly exploited the political vacuum created by the gradual collapse of Mughal power in the face of repeated invasions by the Afghans and the preoccupation of the Afghan ruler with problems further North-West to advance his position, first in the Punjab and then even outside as far as Multan, Kangra, Peshawar and Kashmir.

		Ranjit Singh’s extraordinary situation, both at the crossroads of history as well at the crossroads of the ambitions of two great powers, the British and the Russians, elevated him to the centrestage of international politics and his fate got linked up with the warps and wefts of world politics.

		He coveted Lahore, which was associated in the minds of men with the passion of power, and as the king was unable to cross his heavy artillery over the flooded Jhelum, he made it known to the aspiring chief that their transmission would be an acceptable service.
		Nor is there any proof that Ranjit Singh had made overtures to the Afghan King prior to his occupation of Lahore, although it is said that Shah tried to win over Ranjit Singh by sending him 'Khillat'.
		Thus although guns were dug and returned to the Shah by Ranjit Singh, he could never appoint Ranjit Singh as a Governor of Lahore, in lieu of this favor.
