Biography


Ranjit Singh was born on November 13, 1780, daughter of Raja Gajpat Singh of Jind in the Maja region of Punjab (now Pakistan) - the son of Maha Singh Suchachia and Raj Kaur. Many different clans have claimed Ranjit Singh as their own. His granddaughters - the daughters of his son Dalip Singh - believed that his true ancestors belonged to the Sandhavaliya family of Rajasansi.
