These Misldars held significant autonomy in managing their respective regions, contributing to local governance and administration. While they operated within the framework of the larger Sikh Empire, the decentralized nature of governance allowed for flexibility and responsiveness to the specific needs of diverse communities. This balance between centralized authority and regional autonomy contributed to a stable and cohesive empire, where various communities could participate in self-governance within the broader framework of the Sikh state.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; color: #374151;\"></p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: Söhne; font-size: 12.0pt; color: #374151;\">Moreover, Ranjit Singh\'s policies promoted religious tolerance, allowing for the coexistence of diverse religious communities within the empire.

Ranjit Singh was indeed the strong leader of the Sikh Empire.\r\n\r\nHe believed in letting his people have a say in how things were run.\r\n\r\nHis time was like a well-disciplined and organized team, where local communities worked together.\r\n\r\nLet\'s dive deeper into how this self-governance played out during his reign.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h4>Freedom to speak, and make decisions</h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>In Ranjit Singh\'s empire, decisions about things happening in a specific area were made by the people who lived there.</li>\r\n 	<li>Everyone was able to make points, have discussions and share their ideas.</li>\r\n 	<li>So the government of Maharaja Ranjit Singh was democratised and open to every individual.</li>\r\n 	<li>Each community could choose what was best

everyone had a voice in the conversation.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h4>Autonomy for Villages in the Rule of Maharaja Ranjit Singh</h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>The system was so disciplined and wisely made.</li>\r\n 	<li>Ranjit Singh believed that each village should have the freedom to manage its affairs.</li>\r\n 	<li>It was similar to giving each team in a game the chance to create its own

are the two main ingredients for a happy and healthy life.</li>\r\n 	<li>Both of them should be in a balance for a smooth livelihood.</li>\r\n 	<li>And in the empire of Ranjit Singh, it was completely on point.</li>\r\n 	<li>In Ranjit Singh\'s empire, there was a court system that ensured disputes were resolved fairly.</li>\r\n 	<li>It was like having a referee to make sure everyone was treated
