Introduction to Sikh Empire

Sikh Empire

 

The Sikh Empire(Today’s North India/Pakistan)

Sikh Empire or Punjab Empire was an originating state in India under Maharaja Ranjit Singh. This empire has existence since 1707 but it got its real formation done from the time when Maharaja Ranjit Singh captured Lahore in 1799.

The formal start of the Sikh Empire happened in 1801 with the unification of the Misls. Sher-e-Punjab i.e. Maharaja Ranjit Singh united all the Misls and strengthened the Sikh Empire. The footprint of the Sikh Empire was from the Punjab region to Sindh in the South, Khyber Pass in the West, Tibet in the East, and Kashmir in the North. 

Sikh Empire was based and working on the foundations of the Khalsa and Hari Singh Nalwa was the Commander-in-Chief of this Army. Baba Banda Singh Bahadur was one of the foremost and first figures in the history of the Sikh Empire. He was a great warrior and fought numerous battles. He denied converting to Islam, even when he was threatened in the name of death while being captured by Farrukhsiyar’s forces at Gurdas Nangal Fort for eight months.

Distinct Battles Fought by the Sikh Empire

Ranjit Singh

 

Maharaja Ranjit Singh

This Sikh Empire (co-joining 12 Misls), then fought numerous battles- the Battle of Amritsar, Battle of Guler, Battle of Anandpur, Afghan-Sikh Wars, Battle of Nadaun, Battle of Kartarpur, Battle of Lohgarh, Battle of Samana, Battle of Mukhtsar, Seige of Amritsar, Seige of Ram Rauni, Gurka- Sikh War, Battle of Ferozeshah, Sino-Sikh War to name a few.

One of the most prominent battles was the Afghan-Sikh Wars, which was in fact a series of battles. This battle was between Sikh Empire and Durrani Empire (in Afghanistan). The conflicts between these two empires were raised during the days of Dal Khalsa and continued even after the fall of the Durrani Empire. The first phase comprised of Ahmad Shah Durrani invading and occupying Lahore and marching to the east to take up more territory.

Exactly at this time, he was defeated by the Mughals in alliance with Sikhs at the Battle of Manupur. Ala Singh, Jassa Singh Ahluwalia, and Charat Singh continued to harass Durrani forces during the first invasion of Ahmad Shah, which was a fail.

Sikhs commended the guerilla war with the Afghans to kick them out of Punjab and even defeated their huge number of Army in the Battle of Gohalwar, Amritsar. Sikhs also put the Afghan prisoners to clean scared tanks in Amritsar that they previously disrespected.

After Ahmad Shah Durrani died, the Durrani Empire was weak, but Timur Shah decided to attack when they find the opportunity against Sikhs. He sent an ambassador to the Sikhs attempting to please them with kind words to make peace.

However, Sikhs knew his intentions and showed arrogance and also quoted- “His highness Timur Shah is trying to scare us, but the fact of the matter is that he is afraid of us”. Next was the phase with Zaman Shah, who lead various campaigns of Punjab against Sikhs and captured Lahore.

In response to this, the Sikhs remain in peace to protect the holy city Amritsar. But, later when he progressed towards Amritsar, he was defeated 10 km far from the city and Zaman Shah was forced to leave his Punjab campaigns. After that, he even tried to resume his campaign but wasn’t successful.

Just like this, there was a fourth and fifth phase that included the Battle of Attock and Battle of Peshawar.

Lesson by Sikh Empire Battles

With bravery and an attitude of never backing down from any challenge, one can overcome every obstacle that comes in their life.

With a clear vision in mind and determination, one can win every battle.

With the ability to adapt, one can achieve admirable success toward achieving goals.

With the intention of respecting everyone, regardless of caste and creed, one can earn trust from people.

By applying the above-mentioned qualities, one can inspire others and make a positive impact.

Sikh Faith & Principles

Sikhs show their faith via five visual signs known as Five Kakars. One is the Sikh undergarment, which signifies health and modesty, the second is the steel wristlet also called Kara, which is a sign of faith, the third is a wooden comb to keep hair clean and untangled, the fourth is to keep hair uncut for the creator’s honor, and the fifth is a small sword that defends the religious rights.

The main principles of Sikhism are- honest labor (Kirt Karna), sharing the earnings (Wand Chhakna), and meditating on Guru’s (God) name (Nam Japna). Sikhism stands for selfless service to the human race and the welfare of everyone. For this, it is acceptable to use the sword when you have used all the available resorts as per the preachings of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Some widely accepted and applied concepts in Sikh Religion are- Bani and Bana (outer look and inner values), Concept of Amrit, Concept of creation theory, the concept of Degh Tegh, the concept of Miri, and Piri, the concept of democracy, liberty, and equality.

Summing Up this with principles and teachings of the Sikh faith

Founded by Guru Nanak, and its teachings are primarily recorded in the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture of Sikhism. Here are some key principles and teachings of the Sikh faith:

Oneness of God: Sikhism emphasizes the belief in one, formless, and timeless God. The term “Ik Onkar” signifies the oneness of the divine.

Equality: Sikhs believe in the equality of all human beings, irrespective of caste, creed, gender, or nationality. Everyone is considered equal in the eyes of God.

Community Service: Service to humanity, known as “SEVA” in the Gurmukhi language is a major part of Sikhism. Sikhs are encouraged to engage in selfless service, helping those in need without any expectation of return.

Honest Living: Sikhs are encouraged to earn an honest living through hard work and integrity. They should avoid dishonest means of earning wealth by any means.

Remembering God Everytime: Sikhs are encouraged to remember and meditate on the divine name as it’s essential to deeply connect with god.

Sharing: Sikhs believe in sharing with others, particularly with those less fortunate. This principle encourages generosity and the spirit of giving. In Gurmukhi language it is popularly known as ‘Vand Chhako‘.

Equality of Women: Sikhism promotes the equality of women and men. The first Guru, Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, emphasized the respect for women through his words, ‘So Kyu Manda Aakhiye Jit Jamme Rajan,’ which translates to ‘Why call her inferior, from her, kings are born.’ Women in Sikhism have the same spiritual rights and responsibilities as men, and they can actively participate in all religious, social, and political activities.

Rejecting Rituals and Superstitions: Sikhism rejects rituals, superstitions, and idol worship. The focus is on a direct connection with the divine through prayer.

Community Worship: Sikhs gather in congregations for collective worship, singing hymns, and listening to the teachings of the Shri Guru Granth Sahib. This worship is known as “SATSANG” in sikhism.

Defending Justice: Sikhs are encouraged to stand up for justice and righteousness.

The ultimate goal is to lead a life of righteousness, devotion, and service to humanity while remembering and meditating on the divine.

The word “Staunton” in the “Staunton Chess Sets” has been derived from the famous chess master Howard Staunton. English chess master ‘Howard Staunton’ was one of the greatest chess player in the years between 1843 & 1851. It was due to his efforts that England became the one of the major chess centre in late 19th Century. He was not only a chess player, but also a chess promoter, writer and organizer. The Staunton Pattern Chess Set was designed in 1859 by Nathaniel and Jaques of London approved their manufacturing rights. Howard Staunton advertised this chess set made by Nathaniel and the set became popular under the name Staunton chess set. These chess sets have been used all over the world in all major tournaments since. Some common attributes you may find in all Staunton pieces are wide moulded base, Knight basically has head and neck like a horse, King has a stylish crown with cross pattee, Queen is slightly smaller than king with a small round ball mount on her head, Rooks feature stylized crenellated battlements and bishops a Western-style mitre. Pawns are the smallest pieces in the game with round head.

Unfortunately, finding a good and accurate Staunton chess set and matching chess board is not that easy. Most of the online chess stores are selling their chess pieces and chess boards separately either for a casual chess player or for a newbie; it is quite difficult task to match the chess pieces with a correct matching chess board. To make it easier for everyone to choose the right chess pieces with the right board, we have added the matching appropriate sized chess board as on our every product listing of chess pieces. Please refer to the below attached screenshot for more clear understanding.

Triple Weighted Shera Series with optional chess board

If you are looking for chess board to match an existing set of pieces then keep these points in your mind before picking up the one.

Staunton chess pieces are available in different colors, materials, sizes and weights. When matching pieces to a chess board, the size and wood color must be considered. The chess board should be approximately half (in cm) the height of the King (in mm).

Here are some predefined standard sizes:

70mm chess king suits a 40cm chess board

85mm chess king suits a 45-50cm chess board.

95mm chess king suits a 50-55cm chess board.

105mm-110mm chess king suits a 55cm-60cm chess board.

Note: If you can’t find your chess piece dimensions in a given standard size chart then use a larger chessboard square by up to 25%. Buying a smaller square size board will risk crowding the pieces. We have a great range of veneer chess boards, tournament chess boards.

Our Staunton chess pieces range starts from as low as $44 with a variety of sizes. Every single listing of the chess pieces on our website is matched up with a suitable chess board. Browse our Staunton range here.

Castling is a move in the game of chess involving a king and either of the player’s rooks. At the opening of a chess game or to be on the safe side it is sometimes a good idea to move the rook in the middle of the board where action takes place and the king at the place of the rook, where it lays unharmed. This is called Castling and it is special defensive maneuver. This move was invented in the 1500s to accelerate the game and also to stabilize the offense and defense.  It involves two steps and two pieces and it’s the only move in chess game when more than one piece can be moved in one go.

In tournaments there is rule established that one must move the king first, and then the rook, in order to castle.

Know How To Castle In Chess (In a Stepwise Form)

king and rook movement in order to castle

In order to castle following few move should take place:

  1. Castling is possible in a chess if there are no pieces standing between the king and the rook.
  2. The king and the rook must be in their original positions and never have been moved. (The other rook may have already moved.)
  3. There can be no opposing piece that could possibly capture the king in his original square, the square he moves through or the square that he ends the turn.
  4. The king should not be in check

Castling consists of moving the king two squares towards a rook on the player’s first rank, then moving the rook to the square over which the king crossed. If the king castles queen-side the rook must move three squares. However on the king-side the rook only moves two.

Do not forget that you can only castle once in the whole game.

Light Coloured is always on the Right Side

Now comes the placement of the Rooks/Castles. These are placed on the four squares on the outer squares of the board.

Next to Rooks is the place of Knights.

Next to knights is Bishops.

Next to Bishops comes the Queen, the second most important piece in a chess set after the king. But always remember that the queen always sits in the color of its square. So the white/light-colored square will have a queen.

The king comes next to the queen. The front row of all these pieces is filled by the pawns.

Improving memory requires consistent practice and effort. The most widely mistakes people make is not sticking to a consistent routine for memory exercises. Consistency is key not only to the memory improvement but also in any case be it learning a specific skill.

Tip #1: Try Memorizing Through a Pictorial View in Mind

Playing chess intelligently can combat the symptoms of Alzheimer’s, but only with help of consistent effort. Unfortunately, many people struggle with consistency in this regard. An effective alternative is memorization using pictorial representations. Maintaining continuous engagement of the mind is essential for improving memory.

Tip #4: Follow The Slow-Paced Route

Burdening the mind is not a good affair, and it could result in extreme pressure on the mind. Playing a slow-paced chess game can be good for managing stress and pressure.

Mistake #3: Finding It Difficult, But Still Trying

When individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease engage in playing chess, they often experience a heightened sense of enthusiasm and interest. However, this initial excitement can eventually give way to feelings of frustration, which can be particularly challenging for individuals living with Alzheimer’s. With such a challenge, we’ve seen people frustrated but they do still playing. This would lead to frustration, nothing else.

Tip #5: Play it Like Low-Stress Activity

Whenever we have gone through a fever, doctors commonly suggest to eat easily digestible and nutrient-rich foods to support the immune system for fast recovery. Similarly, when someone plays with the sole intention of enjoying it a casual game, it can yield excellent results. So, playing chess with a non-competitive intention can be very advantageous.

Your chess set is lying in the dust of your storeroom because you don’t play chess anymore now?  It’s time to dust off the board and pass on the legacy to your children. A healthy mind and a fit body contribute greatly in shaping the golden future of a child.

Unless the child is made to practice mental exercises in addition to physical exercises as he grows up, he would eventually experience problems such as mental numbness, forgetfulness etc. For long, chess has been considered as a game played only by intellectuals and individuals with critical thinking abilities.

However, the interesting fact is that chess can be played by people of all age groups and mind sets.

Chess is extremely helpful in brain development, particularly when it is played regularly from a very early age. Learning to play chess at a young age helps the children to gain valuable experience and wisdom which can be applied to almost any situation they will encounter in life.

Taking about the design, both chessboards and chess pieces create an amazing aura around them. As the design is so beautifully hand-crafted that they are surely a sight to watch when both are put together.

If they don’t understand what is happening on the chessboard, they will be unable to respond effectively.

  • Planning in Advance: Recalling the situation mentioned earlier in this blog post, ‘If I move my piece here, you could capture it, right?’ we’ve taught them to ask themselves, ‘If I do this, what might happen next, and how would I respond to it. Bring up this Lessons With A Grandmaster 2 : Boris Gulko & Dr. Joel R. Sneed as a helpful resource to your child.

  • Visualization in Mind: Visualizing the moves allows children to develop strategic ideas. We encourage children to picture the potential future moves; this will help them create a roadmap for their game.

  • Re Assess The Goals: Children are often taught to develop goals and take steps accordingly. They are also taught the need to reassess their plans as new developments can always change the situation. This straightaway encourages your child to become a well-rounded player not only in chess but also in every aspect of life.
