1. Creation of Loyal Punjabi Identity and Nationalism for the British Raj
The British were only Interested in Getting Afghanistan / Central Asia as Bukhara and Samarkand was Part of Afghanistan at that time , which was the Center of the World or the Exact center of Land Mass of Earth as you Open any Map in the World , and they believed in Mac Kinder Theory of Pivot or Center of Earth Land Mass , and who rules the Center of Earth or the Pivot , would control the world also known as Mac kinder Theory .
to Achieve this Objectives , the British while they reached Delhi Punjab , from the Arabian sea Port cities via Many Small battles and through their tactics and Strategies of using the Local Population for their objectives , from Port cities in Arabian Ocean , they used the Bengali,s as Manpower and made the , Indian Bengali Regiments , employing the Bengali’s , British Had studies the Bengali’s as Disloyal People who could be used against their own Indian people .
British were good at Research and would use the Study of History and Study of Indian People very Keenly and would identify so called Loyal Races and would then induct them as Soldiers under command of British Army officers .
They would call such Races as Loyal Martial Races , in Punjab Delhi they found the Ultimate Prize the Punjabis , who were known as Marhatas , or the Sikhs at that time and the word Punjab was not marked on any Map till 1800 AD .
In Fact some People think that term Punjab or Punjabi was Introduced by the British as it means “Fiver Rivers” Ambiguous Race only , as up to 1857 Indian sub continent that included , Afghanistan + Pakistan + India + Bangladesh + Nepal as one country , had only 12 Distinct Provinces before the Britih Raj under the Mughals ;
Punjabi are just Uzbeks/ Tjiks or Turkic Ethnicity that was brought from Afghanistan and Uzbekistan for cleaning the Horse and Stable of Pashton Rulers of Afghanistan over Indian Sub Continent .

Kabul/ Afghania was a Province as well , and so was Delhi , After Conquering Bengal and defeating Tipu Sultan or Haider Ali with Help of Traitor Mir Jafar Bengali , the British has started the March Towards Delhi and then Kabul .
When they Reached Delhi and then Lahore , they Started recruiting the Punjabi Loyal Races to British , or Loyal Puris as they were called , these Recruitment were started in Lahore and Loyal pur ( later Named as Faisalabad to hide the Shameful History ) .
The British then Selected a Man known as Maha singh and his son Ranjit singh after forming an Alliance with Sikhs at Nankana Sahib and its 12 Misalchis / Tribes of Sikhs .

The British In order to Legitimize the Ranjit Singh Rule called Lahore area Punjab , Land of Five Rivers as 5 Eastern Tributaries of Indus River falls there . British created an Alternate and new Identity for the Loyal Puris , “”The Punjabis “”.
The Punjab State Enjoyed a special Status under the British and it was retained even after Death of Ranjit Singh and status quo was Maintained and one of its Governor General Paolo Avi-Table was Retained a Governor of Peshawar till 1843 . long after British had assumed control of Punjab and even during First Anglo Afghan War of 1838-40 , General Paolo Avi-Table was present in Peshawar Gor Ghatri complex at his residence and also had an office in Balahisar Fort Peshawar .
Punjabi were over joyed and they Remained loyal to British till partition of India till 1947 and so were the Bengali’s and they were rewarded well for help to British and for their Loyalty in form of Pakistan and Bengal / East Pakistan later known as Bangladesh .
The Punjabi formed the Back Bone of British Army as Soldier and Die and Fight for the Queen of England and East Indian company as Loyal Puris to Tune of 5 Million.
Punjabi Sikhs wars under Ranjit Singh , against the Pashton and Afghan from 1800 to 1837 , that softened the Durrani Empire of Pashtuns over India 1747 – 1857 who Jointly ruled Indian Sub continent with Mughals as founder of Durrani Empire Ahmad Shah Abdali Durrani , had married into Mughals Emperor Bahudur Shah Zafar Daughter.
3. Ranjit Singh and Great Game as strategic Depth and Sikh vs Afghan Wars 1801-1837:
Even Today Situation Great Game is similar to what Pakistan is doing and Analogous to Ranjeet Singh’s Era in the Past, ( 1801-1839 ), Maharajah of Punjab. Ranjeet Singh, made agreements with British Known as Amritsar Agreement after taking money and weapons from British to allow their Logistic supply pass through Punjab and Sindh from Bombay and Karachi Ports, towards Peshawar Afghanistan.

After Ranjeet Singh annexed, it from Afghanistan. Hari Singh Punjabi Grand son of Dogar Singh , who opted to join with India instead of Pakistan , at time of Partition resulting in a Kashmir Dispute, which is unresolved up to Today and is reason India and Pakistan, is at war all the time.
4. Punjabis Sikh Ranjeet Singh and Strategic depth:
Ranjeet Singh on Advice of British masters playing Great Game tried to conquer Kabul, as they fooled him into thinking about Safety and Stability of his empire by Terming its Strategic Depth that by taking over Afghanistan or installing a puppet Regime under Shah Shuja and annexing it, the Punjab will be safer from advances from the North by the Mighty Afghans. This could be termed as the Ranjeet Singh’s, Strategic Depth, theory.
As he, though that it was good Idea, to safeguard, Punjab , from Afghan Invaders he would rule over India peacefully. Nevertheless, he was wrong as Invader always came in from the North from Afghanistan and he was no match for Superpowers.
The Court of Ranjeet Singh Had a Famous British Spy Sir Alexander ( Sikinder ) Burnes a Scottish as Court Notable but a Capitan officer of British Army who guided Ranjeet Singh and Burnes used to take Directions from British East India Company and the Viceroy which would be delivered to Ranjeet Singh.
Britsh Spy Captain Sir Alexander Burnes
Another Notable spy was Henry Mc Naughton Who Maped and Chalked the Durrand Line and he Put the Famous woden Poles to mark the Durrand Line , and he would Guide Ranjeet Singh to fight Great game, and Alexander Burnes were Killed in Afghanistan just after First Afghan War by Pashtuns. Henry Mac Naughton Famous Residence is in Ziarat Baluchistan and it was later Known as Jinnah Residence after 1947 , and he was also a Illuminati and Free Masons and he was later transferred to Middle East and also was instrumental in Middle east Division of Arabia into Current Gulf states as well.
Sir Captain William Hay Macnaghten 1841
Ranjeet Singh Punjabi troops or PIFER Troops were used by British to be taken to Kabul to Fight in Sherpur Cantonment Kabul Afghanistan under General Elphinstone in Second Anglo Afghan War of 1878 . he was on of East India Company Director.
A war hero the General Elphinstone who served in Battle of Napoleon in Europe too in the First Afghan war as part of First Ever Great game war and was killed in this campaign, resulting in British Loosing their Honor. General Elphinstone died as a captive in Afghanistan some months later.
General William Elphinstone Son Hero of Water Loo but Looser of Afghanistan
His body was dispatched with a small guard of Afghan soldiers to the British garrison at Jalalabad. General Elphinstone’s “faithful” batman Moore who had stayed with the General Elphinstone accompanied his body. En route, they were attacked by a “band of tribesmen”, but eventually the body reached the garrison. Elphinstone is buried in an unmarked grave. All People Died in this War Except only one European Doctor William Broydon. All Punjabi Troops of Ranjit sing also Died there as well British Sepoys of Punjabi and Bengali Origin and also British all Died in Afghanistan and nobody came out Alive in First Anglo Afghan War of 1840.
That is reason these wars are called as battle of Honor , as a Super Power lost it here in Afghanistan to Pashtuns, who defeated the Biggest Western Superpower not once but thrice in First Afghan War ( 1840 ) , Second Afghan War( 1878 ) and then Third Afghan Wars ( 1917 ) .
Almost 22, 000 Punjabi’s Perished in First Anglo Afghan war of 1838-40 serving British Fighting Afghans Pashtuns in retreat from Kabul to Peshawar when all of them were killed and Many Injured soldiers were left behind in FATA who sons are now found as Punjabi Sikhs in Orakzai and Khyber Agency Bordering Peshawar and in around Peshawar .
5. Destruction of Punjabi Ranjit Singh by Pashtons and protection by British Empire ?:
Ultimately, British Took over their creation Punjab after Ranjit Singh death 1837 when they took his son Maharaja Daleep Singh , and Putting him under Queen of England in UK .
He was ultimately Made Christian and is Buried in a Church in Suffolk England. Most of off-springs of his were poisoned by British as Maharaja Daleep Singh wanted to come back to Punjab.
A Daughter survived him only who is buried in his shrine in Lahore after creation of Pakistan during President Skinder Mirza,s time in Early 1950,s .
6. Punjabi Establishment as Extension of Ranjit Singh Strategic Depth and Great Game Policy :
Just like Pakistan Inherited the PIFERS ( Ranjit sing Army ) , it also Inherited the Ranjit Singh Strategic depth and the Mindset . The Pakistan Establishment is run by Generals and Bureaucrat of Punjab and they retain 90% control over it and the other Provinces like Pakhtunkhwa , Sind and Baluchistan has Practically zero say in Polices of Pakistan both Foreign and Internal Policies of Pakistan.
it is Known as Punjabi Establishment in common usage , this Punjabi Establishment has been like their forefathers the Sikhs Punjabi or the Marhatas now known as Punjabis forming the Policies of Pakistan and Participation in Great Game is known as “”Strategics depth of Pakistan”.
It is no Surprise that since 1947 , Punjabis and Punjabi Establishment is suffering from complexes , and Inferiority complexes with regards to Afghanistan and even today in Punjab when the Kids are born the Mother tells them stories of Mighty Afghans and Pashtons to scare them into sleep .
The Punjabi have no culture and Identity and also have no Real Punjabi Language and script as it is Deviant form of Hindi Language which is sort of Dialect of Hindi Language , just like URDU language which has no real and Indigenous script and the Script is borrowed from Farsi or Persian Script that Pashto Language has . Just like Urdu and Hindi is same 99 % , Punjab is also similar and could be understood if you know one of Language you can speak the other two .
Punjabi are Scared of Afghan and Pashtuns with their second oldest langue in the world and also their strong culture that is known as Pashtunwali .
Muslim Afghanistan is wrongly Perceived as evil or enemy and they are Persecuted in Pakistan and so are the Pashtuns citizens of Pakistan and this fear of Ranjit sing Did not die down even when Punjabis were all converted by the Afghanis into Muslims they dont believe in Afghanistan as Ally or Friend .
So after 1947 and in Cold War Partnership with USA and Britain , Pakistan became and Ally and Front line state , right where the Durrand line was and Afghanistan was turned into a Target .
Birth of Strategic Depth Again takes place , the First real First covert Pak Afghan War and incursions by Taliban / Mujahideen took Place in 1970 under President Jimmy Carter ., and Jamaat Islami was used by Pakistan .
The First Taliban were trained by Pakistan Army in Peshawar in Frontier Corps Irregular forces Balashisar Fort right were General General Paolo Avi-Table of Ranjeet Singh used to make office .
The Punjabi Generals of Punjabi Establishment of Pakistan and with Dollars coming from USA and Riyals to Match from Saudia Arabia the Greatest Ally of USA and Britannia as it crated Saudia Arabia from Otomon Single state Arabia Division. also are partners to start Destruction of Afghanistan in name of Strategic depth of Ranjit singh, not knowing that it is actually “”The Great Game “” of super powers for Afghanistan Military bases and the Mac Kinder Pivot and Center of Earth and Global Domination Game .
Great Game Pashton's History.
