How Maharaja Ranjit Singh Succeed in Addressing Historic Injustices

Before the Reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, various historic rulers had been the worst to their people. There was no justice, lack of freedom and basic human rights were not known to citizens in if not every but various sectors of society.

Maharaja Ranjit Singh spread the light among people with his noble governance and fair sovereignty.
He broke down the tangles of differentiation, caste-based discrimination, and the chains of poverty, religion and many other social issues.
He completely succeeded in addressing that old injustice and laws by making democratic representation in his era.

Let us know how he engaged with each issue and helped everyone find true balance in their lives:

Giving back lands to true owners.

Knowing that many farmers didn’t own the lands they worked on, the Maharaja did something important.
He gave the land back to the farmers who did the hard work. This fixed a big problem where only a few people owned most of the land.

Restoration of Abandoned lands.

Maharaja Ranjit Singh started making neglected areas useful again, showing he cared about bringing life back to these forgotten places.
Respect for women
Unlike past kings, women were looked at and treated badly.
However, only under Ranjit Singh’s rule, did the state become safe and secure for every female, girl child and woman.

Tax Abolishment in Ranjit Singh Sovereign.

Ranjit Singh put an end to the various redundant taxes that disturbed people unnecessarily.
Despite this, he made strategic planning for finance management and tax collection in the fairest ways.

Removing Zamindars or middlemen

The Maharaja got rid of the middlemen, called Zamindars who were appointed by the old rulers.
This stopped these middlemen from taking advantage of the farmers and taking away their rights to the land.

Transparent Sessions in Ranjit Singh Castle

Unlike old rulers, Maharaja Ranjit Singh was open and fair in how he governed.
He made sure everyone could see and understand what decisions were being made.
This brought fairness to the system, and people could trust that the choices were for everyone’s good.

Respect for all religions

No previous king was seen giving this much freedom to each individual to follow his desired religion.
It washed out various unnecessary conditions in society related to religion.

Complete freedom of education and language

No limit was there on language or education in Punjab rule under Ranjit Singh.
People were open to learning different subjects and languages. It was not seen in any of the historic ruler’s eras.
In this way, Ranjit Singh made a huge difference by addressing historical injustices which were not even slightly touched by the previous rulers.
Maharaja Ranjit Singh was renowned for his smart, kind, and warrior personality who looked after every person living in and outside his territory by ensuring his well-being with equality and transparent administration.

He ruled the state for about a half-century and earned great recognition.
The Sher-E-Punjab was deeply respected, admired and loved by his people and appreciated by neighbor kings.
