  1. When the British invaded Punjab 1846 -1849 they made off with a huge amount of wealth.When Multan fort was captured by the British its treasury was full of gold and gems and was looted.Also after the Battle of Chillianwallah where the British were defeated they could not take it that a non white army had defeated them in a planned battle. Even today it's hard to find the British defeat mentioned in history books . The British took their revenge at the Battle of Gujrat a few weeks later where the orders were to kill all Sikhs. The British assembled a huge army to do this and we're enthusiasticlly aided by Indian soldiers. This information is usually found in obscure texts of British soldiers like 'Sgt Pearmans memoires' rather than official histories where the British soldiers are said to be disciplined and humane.
