The Anglo-Sikh War of 1845 marks a pivotal chapter in Indian history, epitomizing the British East India Company’s imperial aggression against the declining Sikh Empire. This conflict unfolded in Punjab, a region prized for its strategic and economic value, catalyzing a series of battles that reshaped the subcontinent’s political landscape. Amidst the internal strife within the Sikh Empire, the British saw an opportunity to extend their colonial dominion. The war, resulting from diplomatic failures and military confrontations, led to significant socio-economic impacts on Punjab and set the stage for the harsh Treaty of Lahore, sealing the fate of the Sikh Empire and paving the way for further British expansion.
