is it a myth or is it true regarding hari singh nalwa

[chatanga]

In accordance with the teaching of their Guru, the Sikhs did not attack the defenceless or the weak. This included children, women, mendicants and the elderly. Sardar Hari Singh Nalwa advised the Pathans that one way they could escape the wrath of an infuriated Sikh was to dress as a woman. In the Punjab, the shalwar kameez is feminine apparel.

The shalwar was a loose trouser with a stiff border at the ankle, while the kameez was a loose shirt falling to the knees. This dress came to popularly be known as the ‘Punjabi suit’ in India. In Pakistan and Afghanistan, men still wear its variant — the ‘Pathan suit’.

its just one of those things that have come up like how people say whoever attacked Sri Darbar Sahib never lived more than 180 days stuff.

The poathans could equally claim that they made panjabi men wear womens clothes. Its just the flip side of the coin.

gsp actually maharaja ranjit singh died in 1839

and besides peshawar which is a city of 3 million people making up only 1.5% of the pathan population how did conquering this city of peshawar send fear into all afghan mothers

if the sikhs accompanied the indian soldiers of the british east india company led by the english isn't the conquest of afghanistan still creditied to the british and not the indians or sikhs or if sikhs get credit then isn't it equal to saying that india or indians conquered afghanistan in 1839

with city of peshawar what other regions that the pathans called home did the sikhs conquere

[cgy99100]

the tribal regions of pakistan are the home to the pathans but what part did the british conquere after the second anglo afghan war were the afghans surrendered some of their land and allowed the british to control their foreign policy to keep russia in check cause russia had eyes on india and the brits could of controlled all of afghanistan but once again it wasn't good for buis since maintaining afghanistan costed more money then they made off of afghanistan so cause of afghanistan's poverty they just settled for some of their territory's and control of their foreign policy

The fact is that Hari Singh Nalwa's military exploits divided the Pathan people between those who are now in Pakistan and those in Afghanistan. Prior to the Sikhs, the Afghan ruled Kashmir, Derajat and parts of Sindh. Taking Kashmir and Derajat off the Afghans may have hurt their self esteem but it did not affect then mentally as the loss of Peshawar did. For the first time in history the Muslim Pathans were being ruled by a non-Muslim people. Prior to the Soviet invasion in 1979, the Afghan government used to claim the Peshawar area as a part of Afghanistan.

He served as the Governor of Kashmir (1820–21), Greater Hazara (1822–1837) and was twice appointed the Governor of Peshawar (1834-5 & 1836-his death).

The territories under his jurisdiction later formed part of the British Districts of Peshawar, Hazara (Pakhli, Damtaur, Haripur, Darband, Gandhgarh, Dhund, Karral and Khanpur), Attock (Chhachch, Hassan Abdal), Jehlum (Pindi Gheb, Katas), Mianwali (Kachhi), Shahpur (Warcha, Mitha Tiwana and Nurpur), Dera Ismail Khan (Bannu, Tank, and Kundi), Rawalpindi (Rawalpindi, Kallar) and Gujranwala. In 1832, at the specific request of William Bentinck, the Maharajah proposed a fixed table of duties for the whole of his territories. Sardar Hari Singh Nalwa was one of the three men deputed to fix the duties from Attock (on the Indus) to Filor (on the Satluj)
