Even in the palmiest days of the Khalsa it is astonishing how small a proportion of the Punjab population was of the Sikh profession. The fierce fanaticism of the earlier years of the century was succeeded by the unequalled military organisation of the Maharaja, and these together enabled a people who were never numerically more than a sect of Hinduism to overrun the whole Punjab and Kashmir, to beat back the  Afghans  to the mountains, and to found a powerful kingdom in which they were outnumbered by Hindus and Muhammadans by ten to one.” ― Lepel H.
