Was an empire based in the Punjab. It emerged from the union of the Sikh Misl, small principalities in the region. At its peak in the 19th century, the Empire extended from Gilgit and Tibet in the north to the deserts of Sindh in the south and from the Khyber Pass in the west to the Sutlej in the east as far as Oudh. By 1849 the state was dissolved after the defeat in the Second Anglo-Sikh War and inglobated in the British domains in India.
