message: "Sikh historians have always maintained that, in order to retain their hold on power and maintain the figurehead rule of Duleep Singh, Lal Singh and Tej Singh embarked on the war with the deliberate intent of breaking their own army. In particular, Lal Singh was corresponding with a British political officer and betraying state and military secrets throughout the war."
I thought that she had wanted the Khalsa destroyed after she'd seen what they did.  That she realised that they were the true power and she would not be secure till they were broken.
Thus it was her who got Lal and Tej Singh to deliberately lose the war.
Anyone else heard this?  Anyone know if it's true or not?

message: "The Sikh empire was until then one of the few remaining kingdoms in India after the rise of the company and the fall of the Mughal empire."
As I understood it, the Sikh empire (after the annexation of the Sindh 1841-2) was the only kingdom not under direct EIC control or part of the Subsidiary Alliance (SA) system which was indirect control.
If the article is right, and it was one of the few remaining kingdoms, can someone please tell me what others were free (not EIC or SA) in 1846-9, please?
As I was taught, the Sikhs were the very last ones.

message: I have added  templates to both these sections. They are unsourced and vague, containing little information as to when or where these events took place, or their significance within the overall context of the war. The section on the Battle of Sohana is very POV. (THe main article on the Battle of Sohana is of little help when attempting to expand this section.) There are other cases of sections being unsourced or vague. The entire article could do with copyediting. HLGallon (talk) 11:30, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
