Talk:Maharaja Duleep Singh

It seemed that giving a title one rank higher than the 1 and a 1/4 title of Jay Singh, an old Muslim rank at that, to Duleep Singh, a higher title by which his father was known - is a little like playing my Maharaja is better than yours. Somewhat akin to some Muslims and even one American General, arguing over whether Allah or God is greater. Come on!

And as Empire is a word usually associated with colonial powers who, conquered and enslaved other countries, enslaving, robing, raping and plundering at will; Ottoman, Persian, Roman, Mughal, Japanese, Spanish, Holy Roman (non Roman and not to holy) and the British Empires, give me doubt that the Sikh Gurus (who never as Sunnyji once reminded me ever fought to conquer or establish an earthly kingdom or ever tried to force anyone to adopt Sikhi) would want the word Empire associated with Sikhi.

Even the Nazis didn't use the word Empire!
