Origin
For historical facts, we need historians, i.e. HISTAR-compliant sources. The subject of this article is covered by multiple historians specialising in Sikh history and all of their sources that I have seen so far state that he was a Jat by origin. That includes W. H. McLeod, Hari Ram Gupta, Ganda Singh, A. C. Arora, Bhagat Singh, Fauja Singh, Mandeep Kaur Samra, etc. Even historian Rajmohan Gandhi mentions the same thing in his book focusing on Ranjit Singh's empire.

Ranjit Singh's first known ancestor who accepted Sikhism (Budha Singh) was a Jat. His father (Maha Singh) and grandfather (Charat Singh) were Jats. His Sukerchakia Misl, which was founded by his grandfather, was obviously of Jat ethnicity. Note that his ethnic/caste background played an important part in his personal as well as ruling life: he married two widows under the Jat customs; his state policies were also affected by it.

So historians are very clear about the Jat background of him and his parents, his grandparents, his Misl, and his first known ancestor.

 * @NitinMlk Great write-up. I have also noticed the family trees in the article mixed-up the positions of his ancestors Budha Singh (born Desu) and Nodha Singh. Budha was the father of Nodha, not vice-versa like the family trees were suggesting, seemingly based off of an erroneous tree presented in 'Punjab Chiefs' by Lepel Griffin (first published in 1865). I have gone ahead and removed both family trees from the article as a result. ThethPunjabi (talk) 23:58, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Azim Khan wikilink
We have an article on Azim Khan, which could be wikilinked on text found in the "Expansion" section, but currently isn't. Could That wikilink be added? -- 97.124.47.226 (talk) 06:39, 5 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Just to confirm, he is the general from 1813. Looking at his wiki page, it makes no mention that he was a general, but I will assume that he was based on context.  Heart  (talk) 06:47, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ (with removal of 'General' to make it less ambiguous). Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 06:58, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
