	"Today in Sikh History" shares the glance of Great historical moments that happened in Sikh History. Following are the historical moments in sequence that happened on 12th day of April that is 31st day of Chet according to Nanakshahi Calendar: 1. 1759 Sikhs gathered in huge numbers for Baisakhi in Amritsar. Hukamnana was issued in the name of the Sikhs from Sri Akal Takhat for the collection of Daswand and to engage in religious deeds. 2. 1759 Maratha Shambaji and the Sikhs together attacked Jahan Khan. 3. 1801 Coronation of Ranjit Singh as Sarkar-i-Wala. Ranjit Singh's was proclaimed ruler by Baba Sahib Bedi, a descendant of Guru Nanak. At the coronation ceremony Sardar Ranjit Singh assumed the title Sarkar-i-Wala. Although the ceremony was conducted in accordance with the ancient ceremony of Hindu monarchy, "abhisekha," he never sat on a throne in respect to the concept of Sikh sovereignty, for sovereignty belonged only to Guru Khalsa Panth and not any individual. He asked all non-Sikhs to address him as Maharaja and all Sikhs as Singh Sahib. He struck "NanakShahi" Silver Rupee coins, symbolising sovereignty the same year. The legend "Deg Tegh Fateh" of 1765 on Lahore mint Rupees was changed to the legend that existed on Amritsar coins of 1775 and coins of Banda Bahadhur of 1710. Ranjit Singh adopted the same couplet and exactly in the same form as it appeared on 1784 Amritsar coins, without any modifications.
