He was the favourite king among people. His affection for kids and respect for the elderly was priceless.

Once when he was passing through the streets of Lahore, some mischievous children were targeting fruits of a tree with a stone when it accidently hit Ranjit Singh.

Instead of being angry and punishing children, he kept his calm and remained composed. Surprisingly, he warmly smiled and said, “If this tree can provide sweet fruit after getting hit by stones then why would I being their king punish these innocent children?”

Similarly, he had a big respect for elder ladies and men. He always listened to their issues regardless of his occupied and busy schedule.
