Maharaja DALIP SINGH, the youngest son of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, who was born in Lahore, on Feb. 1837, to mother Maharani Jind Kaur. His date of birth is disputed by some and alternately suggested as Sept. 4, 1838. Many foreign journalists have wrongly named him as Dhalip Singh and Duleep Singh. However, it should be noted that his correct name is Maharaja Dalip Singh. He assumed the Punjab throne as a child, after Maharaja Sher Singh, on Sept. 18, 1843. The agreement of March 9, 1846, after the first Sikh war with the British, included the following conditions: There shall be peace and friendship among Maharaja Dalip Singh and the British government. Lahore darbar would have to relinquish control of the region between Satluj and Bias. War compensation of one and a half crore rupees to be paid by Lahore darbar. Since this amount was beyond the capabilities of Lahore Darbar at that time, Kashmir region was offered for 75 lakhs. However, Maharaja Gulab Singh stepped forward and paid this amount to buy back this region from the British. Maharaja Dalip Singh's forces were restricted to 50 platoons and 12,000 horse-back soldiers. No foreigner from Britain, Europe, or America could be employed in Lahore Darbar without explicit permission of the British government. British government shall refrain from interference in the internal affairs of the Lahore Darbar. However, towards the end of this year, another set of arrangements were made, under which a council was established to run the Punjab affairs. This council was headed by a British Resident. Further, British forces were brought in to maintain peace in the country. Lahore darbar was charged 22 lakh annually for the maintenance and upkeep of such forces. 2) 1849 Punjab was annexed by the British. 3) 1982 Negotiation talks on Sikh demands broke down by Central Government.
