The Sikh Wars: A Glimpse into the Fierce Battles and Heroic Figures Step back in time to witness the intensity and valor of the Sikh Wars, a series of conflicts that shaped India's history. General Gough, as Commander-in-chief of the Army of The Sutlej, emerges as a central figure in this tumultuous era. His portrait captures his resolute determination etched on his face, revealing a leader ready to face any challenge. Alongside him stands Maharaja Sher Singh, adorned in regal attire.
