Gulab Singh - Dallewalia Misal

“The Sikhs secured possession and control of the Punjab and every one of them seized upon the places which he could. It seems as if the agents of fate and destiny had distributed the land of the five rivers among them with their own hands. It was effected indeed neither by the generosity of Ahmad Shah (Durrani) nor by the kindness of Muhammad Shah (Mughal emperor).”
Khushwaqat Rai “Tarikh-i-Sikhan” 1811 translated by Bhagat Singh in “History of the Sikh Misals”
