In which year Maharaja Ranjit Singh established Khalsa rule in Lahore?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 1801
Ranjit Singh took Lahore in 1799 and had himself proclaimed Maharaja there in 1801, on Baisakhi day, founding the Sikh kingdom of the Punjab.
He ruled from Lahore until his death in 1839, and coins of his reign were struck in the name of the Khalsa rather than his own.
