Episode #54: Glory of the Khalsa

from The Unknown Soldiers Podcast

In the early 19th Century, the followers of the Sikh religion forged in empire in northern India's Punjab region. The threat of the British Empire led their Maharaja, Ranjit Singh, to build a powerful Western-style army. But modern armies are a loaded gun that can be just as dangerous to the wielder as to its target. The Khalsa Army, one of India's greatest fighting forces, would be the ruin of the Sikh Empire.Sources & Maps: https://www.unknownsoldierspodcast.com/post/episode-54-glory-of-the-khalsa-maps-and-sourcesAudible Recommendation: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Anarchy-Audiobook/1526616971?action_code=ASSGB149080119000H&share_location=pdpMusic:"Battle Fight War Cinematic"by DIADOH via pond5.comYes I know about the title.
