His empire grew in the Punjab region under his leadership through 1839.
Prior to his rise, the Punjab region had numerous warring misls (confederacies), twelve of which were under Sikh rulers and one Muslim.
Ranjit Singh successfully absorbed and united the Sikh misls and took over other local kingdoms to create the Sikh Empire.
He repeatedly defeated invasions by outside armies, particularly those arriving from Afghanistan, and established friendly relations with the British.
Ranjit Singh's reign introduced reforms, modernisation, investment into infrastructure and general prosperity.
His Khalsa army and government included Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims and Europeans.
His legacy includes a period of Sikh cultural and artistic renaissance, including the rebuilding of the Harmandir Sahib in Amritsar as well as other major gurudwaras, including Takht Sri Patna Sahib, Bihar and Hazur Sahib Nanded, Maharashtra under his sponsorship.
He was popularly known as "Sher-e-Punjab", or "Lion of Punjab".

Jind Kaur
Maharani Jind Kaur (Punjabi:
ਮਹਾਰਾਣੀ ਜਿੰਦ ਕੌਰ; – 1 August 1863) was regent of the Sikh Empire from 1843 until 1846.
She was the youngest wife of the first Maharaja of the Sikh Empire, Ranjit Singh, and the mother of the last Maharaja, Duleep Singh.
She was renowned for her beauty, energy and strength of purpose and was popularly known as "Rani Jindan", but her fame is derived chiefly from the fear she engendered in the British in India, who described her as "the Messalina of the Punjab", a seductress too rebellious to be controlled.
After the assassinations of Ranjit Singh's first three successors, Duleep Singh came to power in September 1843 at the age of 5 and Jind Kaur became Regent on her son's behalf.
After the Sikhs lost the First Anglo-Sikh War she was replaced in December 1846 by a Council of Regency, under the control of a British Resident.
However, her power and influence continued and, to counter this, the British imprisoned and exiled her.
Over thirteen years passed before she was again permitted to see her son, who was taken to England.
In January 1861 Duleep Singh was allowed to meet his mother in Calcutta and took her with him back to England, where she remained until her death in Kensington, London, on 1 August 1863 at the age of 46.
She was temporarily buried in Kensal Green Cemetery and cremated the following year at Nashik, near Bombay.
Her ashes were finally taken to the "samadh" (memorial) in Lahore of her husband, Maharaja Ranjit Singh, by her granddaughter, Princess Bamba Sofia Jindan Duleep Singh.
In 2010 the New York International Sikh Film Festival premiered the film "The Rebel Queen", telling the story of the Maharani.
