other sources for kingdom of punjab

(Note: Moved from User talk:RegentsPark)
the britishers aswell as the natives called the sikh empire simply as 'Punjab' , during the various treaties singed between sikhs and britishers, they always mention it as 'sovernity of punjab' i will cite more sources *here* which you can then look into.

The conventional long name parameter is used for the full name of the entity. From your description, it looks like Punjab was the colloquial name rather than the conventional long name. You can probably use this in the Terminology section. RegentsPark (comment) 15:15, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay! What about the kingdom bit? in treaties to sources , it is technically and also called itself as an 'kingdom' WhatAGreatWikiTuber (talk) 11:02, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As I say above, conventional long name is used for the full name of the entity. Other names should be discussed in the Terminology section. RegentsPark (comment) 15:49, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Foreign Relations :

hello i just made my account , hence i cant edit but have prepared a foreign relations the sikh empire :

1) East India Company (British) : They mantained a friendly but cautious relation, Ranjit singh was careful to not provoke the british , but he also made sure that the british did not interfere in his domain.

But as Punjab fell into instability after ranjit's death,it became a threat to british and mutual suspicous began arising.

2) Afghans or Durranis : Very hostlike , was engaged in various clashes and wars.

3)Persia (qajar) : limited interactions but the persians saw the development in the region due to weaking of afghans.

4)Nepal : No formal alliance , were engaged in one war but both had anti-british sentiments.

5) China (qing) : limited interactions , sikhs were engaged in one war with Tibet under qings and resulted in stalemate and ladakh was reduced to its modern day borders.

6)Russia : possible threat, ranjit saw the development of russia in central asia

7)france :there were rumours of alliance between ranjit and napolean but no actual alliance was formed , sikh empire had many french generals and mercernaries JingJongPascal (talk) 16:29, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why are Jaswan, Guler and Nurpur not listed as predecessor states to the Sikh Empire?

Jaswan State was annexed by the Sikh Empire in 1815 because it's king didn't had enough money to pay fine to their Sikh suzerains. Guler was annexed by the Sikh Empire 1826 and Nurpur was annexed by the Sikhs in 1815, so why are they not listed as predecessor states under Kangra?
