نبذة مختصرة : East India Company played the pivotal role in colonization of India alongside its aftermaths. In the name of trade, the Company hijacked the political setup of India thereby resulting in the occupation of India. However, the nature of the occupation in Punjab was utterly different from the rest of India owing to its political and social background. Even the treaty of Amritsar was a result of the fear and Ranjit Singh was a crucial and defining variable amidst all this. The present study is an articulation of this viewpoint on the basis of of the double game played by the East India Company. Apart from this, the infliction of war on Punjabis after the demise of Ranj it Singh is also used an evidence to build the aforementioned thesis. Suggestive evidence to highlight the malignant behaviour of the Company in the war (i.e. forgery of the history) against Punjabis is also presented. The whole study, however, aims at building the conclusion that the above cited negative tactics were employed by the Company primarily to distort the Politico-Social fabric of Punjab to extract their personal colonial interests.
