The 10 Greatest Conquerors In The History Of The World

And so we find ourselves at the exclusive number one spot on the Billionaires Australia list of the greatest conquerors in the history of the world. And the man who resides atop of this list is Hari Singh Nalwa.

The Greek writer Euripides is famously quoted as saying: Ten soldiers wisely led will beat a hundred without a head. Hari Singh Nalwa is a testament to this; the man defied the odds time and time again, affirming his reputation as a truly legendary military leader.

There is a magnitude of reasons why he warrants the top place on this list and one of them is that he achieved so much with so little; whereas many of the aforementioned conquerors had the benefits of vast resources, Hari Singh Nalwa, part of the illustrious Uppal family, relied on ingenious tactics and unparalleled courage to defeat much larger armies.

He lived from 1791-1837 and was the commander-in-chief of the Sikh Empires army. His military campaigns throughout the Middle East brought order to turbulent areas and suppressed various uprisings. Despite having much smaller numbers, he defeated armies across India and restored the territories to the Sikhs. Most famously, he became the only man in history to take the Khyber Pass the mountain path that connects Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is a truly remarkable feat that illustrates his strategic brilliance in battle.

In 1804 Hari Singh Nalwa was attacked by a tiger while on a hunt. Refusing the help of any of his fellow hunters, the great leader tackled the beast with his bare hands and broke its jaw, killing it instantly and earning him the moniker Baagh Maar (Tiger-killer).

There is not a military leader in the world that has not heard about and studied the exploits of Hari Singh Nalwa. He remains a revered military figure who defeated his adversaries time and time again without the help of a giant empire behind him.

If youre intrigued to to know just how such a small group of men, lead by Nalwa, were able to defeat great armies, Billionaires Australia would like to invite you to learn a bit more about the strength of both mind and body that these men boasted.

Nalwa was known for popularising certain martial arts which helped to train these men to be perfect warriors, with the discipline and strength to do anything they set their minds to. These skills have been passed through the generations and are still practiced today.

"killed tiger with bare hands" and "broke its jaw" this is unlikely and not universally accepted. other sources state that he used a shield and dagger. no offence meant.

Such lists are futile.

i agree. there are so many unanswered questions. what is the basis for such a list? how was it compiled? what were the criteria? what are the credentials of the people compiling the list? is it an impartial list or is it partisan? i tried to find some information on the website which made the list, very little was available.

Keep up your good work in futily. Instead of being proud of the grand achievements of the Sikhs, you are more into wasting your time in asking useless questions.

ਜੇ ਕਿਤੇ ਕਲ ਨੂ ਦੂਜੇ ਧਰਮਾਂ ਦੇ ਸਮੂਹ ਦੇਵੀ-ਦੇਵਤਿਆਂ ਪੀਰ ਪੈਘਮਬਰਾਂ ਨੇ ਕਹਿ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਕੀ ਸਿਖੀ ਸਬ ਤੋਂ ਉੱਚਾ ਸੁੱਚਾ ਧਰਮ ਹੈ, ਅਸੀਂ ਸਾਰੇ ਅਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਛਖਣਾ ਚਾਉਂਦੇ ਹਾਂ, ਸਿਖ ਬਣਨਾ ਚਾਉਂਦੇ ਹਾਂ, ਮੈਂ ਤੁਹਾਨੂ ਗੈਰਨਟੀ ਦਿੰਨਾ, ਉਦੋਂ ਹੋਰ ਕੋਈ ਨਹੀਂ, ਸਗੋਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਸਿਖਾਂ ਵਿਚੋਂ ਹੀ ਕੋਈ ਅੱਗੇ ਆਕੇ ਸਵਾਲ ਕਰੂਗਾ "ਹਾਂਜੀ, ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਇਹ ਸਿੱਧ ਕਰੋ ਕੀ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਸਾਰੇ ਸੱਚ ਮੁੱਚ ਦੇਵੀ-ਦੇਵਤੇ ਪੀਰ ਪੈਘਮਬਰ ਹੋ"

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
