The Fall of the Kingdom of the Punjab is a landmark work of historical nonfiction by renowned author and historian Khushwant Singh. The book examines the decline of the Sikh Empire following the death of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and traces the political instability, internal rivalries, and military conflicts that ultimately led to the British annexation of Punjab in 1849. Drawing on extensive historical research and primary sources, Singh provides a balanced and insightful account of the Anglo-Sikh Wars, the role of influential leaders, and the far-reaching consequences of colonial expansion. Rich in historical detail and analysis, the book is an essential resource for readers interested in Sikh history, nineteenth-century India, and the making of modern South Asia.
