Description
Ranjit Singh was in every way as remarkable a man as his contemporaries, Napoleon and Mohammed Ali. From the status of petty chieftain he rose to become the most powerful Indian ruler of his time. His empire extended from Tibet to the deserts of Sindh and from the Khyber Pass to the Sutlej. Review: Translator's language not comprehensible - Khushwant Singh wrote good books. He had a good understanding of the subject when he wrote. Punjabi is my mother tongue, the language of this book is incomprehensible. The Punjabi words the translator (Gurcharan Singh Aulakh) has used, I do not know where he got them from. I just read Nihal Singh Ras's historical novels, didn't have problems understanding and enjoying them. This book "Ranjit Singh" I tried to read approximately 15 pages, just gave up. I will read Khushwant Singh's original book in English.
