Sikh Exhibition In Hounslow
WSN Network 

LONDON: An exhibition marking 160 years since the end of the Anglo-Sikh Wars opened in Hounslow at the weekend. A selection of historic pictures and documents charting the reign of Maharajah Ranjit Singh, and the bloody wars which followed his death, went on display at the Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha, in Alice Way. Next few days will see lectures and workshops on Anglo-Sikh relationship.

Mohan Singh Nayyar, general secretary of the Gurdwara, said the exhibition would celebrate the historic links between Sikhs and the British. The two Anglo-Sikh Wars, between the Sikh Empire and the British East India Company, had claimed more than 20,000 lives. The exhibition runs until Sunday, April 19, from 11am to 6pm every day.
