Ranjit Singh opted for decentralization as a strategic and pragmatic choice to foster stability and prosperity within his vast and diverse empire.

By empowering local leaders and communities to manage their own affairs, he sought to build a more cohesive and efficient administrative system.

This promoted economic growth and ensured justice and education tailored to the specific realities of different regions and communities.

Decentralized approach also helped in consolidating power and maintaining control over the widespread territories under his rule.
