The main objective of this empirical paper is to focus on how after the sad demise of Maharaja Ranjit Singh in 1839, the interests of the State were thrown away and conspiracies were envisaged by the egotistical rulers and their disgruntled and peeved courtiers to downplay the other contenders for enthronement. Enthronement of Rani Chand Kaur came through mechanization and bloody path was followed to remain adhered to the throne. Contemporary and secondary sources were exhausted to make a fair and comprehensive account of the theme under study. Governor- General’s Government of India’s Foreign Department proceedings covering day to day information of the Lahore Durbar activities through their diplomatic channels along with intelligence reports available at National Archives of India, New Delhi, have been considerably exhausted while penning down this research oriented paper. Press list of Old Records documents available at Punjab State Archives, Patiala have also been consulted. At places, day to day reports from sources such as the Chronicler of Lahore Durbar, Sohan Lal Suri’s Umdat-Ut- Tawarikh and the standardized works of the then serving military officers related with the British and Lahore Kingdom are extensively quoted for achieving fair reflection of the subject under study.
