Baba Banda Singh Bahadur's regime in the early 18th century, marked by his insurgency against the Mughal Empire, showcased a different form of collaboration—collaborative networks among the Sikh community. Banda Singh Bahadur's leadership involved not only military strategies but also a collaborative effort among the Khalsa, a collective body of initiated Sikhs. The establishment of the Khalsa Raj marked a form of collaboration where Sikhs collectively participated in decision-making and governance. This collaborative approach was instrumental in the success of the early stages of the Sikh uprising, showcasing the power of a unified community.

However, the collaborative networks extended beyond the Sikh community to involve local leaders who aligned with Banda Singh Bahadur's vision for justice and equality. In regions under his control, Banda Singh Bahadur actively engaged with local leaders, forming alliances based on shared principles. This collaborative approach, while challenging the existing power structures, contributed to the initial success of the Khalsa Raj. The collaborative networks forged by Banda Singh Bahadur demonstrated the strength of collective action and partnership in challenging oppressive regimes.

In conclusion, both Maharaja Ranjit Singh and Baba Banda Singh Bahadur understood the significance of collaboration and partnerships in their respective regimes. Ranjit Singh's multicultural administration and diplomatic engagements showcased a pragmatic approach to collaboration, both domestically and internationally. On the other hand, Banda Singh Bahadur's collaborative networks within the Sikh community and alliances with local leaders exemplified the power of collective action against oppression. These leaders' ability to form partnerships, whether in governance or resistance, played a pivotal role in shaping the historical trajectories of the regions they governed.
