He rose to power during the wazirship of Hira Singh Dogra the son of Dhian Singh Dogra (whose brothers incidentally were Gulab Singh and Suchet Singh). Besides being put in charge of the Lahore treasury, he was also appointed Maharaja Duleep Singh’s tutor. His influence over Maharani Jind Kaur and his relationship with her is well documented in contemporary accounts, amongst them the private letters of Governor General Sir later Lord Henry Hardinge. Raja Lal Singh is most famous for betraying the Sikh forces and sharing military information with the British during the 1st Anglo-Sikh war." (Davinder Singh Toor, 2018) |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
