Welcome
Hope to see more on your article, sorry to jump the gun as i did not look to see the article was still in developement. Empire to me means a bunch of conquered colonies or nations and is a word i find alien to the aims of Guru Gobind Singh by appointing Banda Bahadur not as the next Guru but rather as the Jathedar or first to carry the fight to the oppressors doors.

Sat Shri Akaal, Sunnybondsinghjalwehra ji, you are obviously a very industrious and exceptional eighth grader. My problem with the word empire is that the Romans, Japanese, British (John Company) , Dutch (VOC), Spanish and Portugese all had empires. They fought with each other to take over and conquer smaller less developed nations and countries using the people of their colonies often as slaves.
Whether moving large groups of Indians to Africa to build a railway, or using the Afim of India to addict a majority of Chinese in order to get back the silver the english were spending on tea, killing hundreds of thousands of people whom they thought they were superior to - just seems - well, wrong to me. Here in america we were also under the british thumbs — defeated Cornwallis who After the war Cornwallis who was appointed governor-general and commander in chief in India and is remembered for defeating Tippu Sultan.
The Japanese Empire sliced and diced its way through China killing people at will, so 'Empire' seemed the wrong word for what Guruji had intended when he made Banda Bahadur the Jathedar of the Sikhs. Kingdom is a much better word even though a Kingdom has a 'King'. Banda, a hero to my thinking, would, i can only imagine, not have liked being called a King or Raja. He was sent to clear the Punjab of the likes of Wazir Khan and Muslims of his Ilk. That is why i labeled the page - takes control of Punjab, routes the Mughals, destroyed their tax system, takes Command, etc. as Jathedar is similar to commander… … Sic semper tyrannis
