Talk:Sher Singh

Who is the "her" in the last paragraph?

The last paragraph only refers to one woman, in passing and without being named, that being in a parenthetical sentence following the first sentence. Then, the last sentence refers to a 'her'. Grammar requires reasonable proximity for the use of a pronoun and while someone familiar with this material may be completely aware of who 'she' is, it is not obvious from the text. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Douglas Wilhelm Harder (talk • contribs) 13:24, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Entry had been hijacked and turned into an advertisement

Before July 15, 2012, the page was an entry about a 19th century Indian king, Sher Singh. But on July 16, user Sghoshoxon changed the page to a blatant advertisement for (presumably) his/her clothing company, also called Sher Singh. I first marked the page for speedy deletion since the page in its then form was blatant advertising and biased. However, I reversed this flagging and restored the entry about the Indian king by using Fatbuu's Revision as of 04:03, 18 April 2012

Ranjit Singh's sons

I have reverted the unsourced edit of 16 August 2013 that claimed Prince Jaswant Singh as one of Ranjit Singh's sons. I have searched and found no support for that claim. Not to worry - if an editor can find a reliable source they can replace the statement and cite the source. The reverted description appears to match that of a Prince Jaswant Singh who was born in 1873 and cannot therfore be a son of Ranjit Singh.

The usual lists of Ranjit Singh's wives and their sons include:

• Kharak Singh, born 9 February 1801, mother Raj Kaur;
• Ishar Singh (died in infancy) and the twins Sher Singh and Tara Singh, born 4 December 1807, mother Mahitab Kaur (estranged);
• Kashmira Singh (1819) and Peshaura Singh (1821), mother Daya Kaur, sons adopted;
• Multana Singh (1819), mother Ratan Kaur;
• Dalip Singh (1838), mother Jind Kaur.

Of these, only Kharak Singh and Dalip Singh were acknowledged by Ranjit Singh. Apuldram (talk) 21:14, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

This article is nonsense

It claims Ajit Singh "served as regent" after carrying out the murder, when anyone with even a passing knowledge of the event knows he was killed himself on the following day.

A very typical illustration of how Wikipedia serves mainly as a tool for Eurocentric propaganda and has little interests in facts outside this domain. Roll on its replacement by AI. 194.230.146.103 (talk) 17:45, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

Nowhere in the article does it claim that Ajit Singh "served as regent" after carrying out the murder of Sher Singh. Where are you reading this? ThethPunjabi (talk) 02:03, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
