India: 'Maharaja Gulab Singh of Jammu and Kashmir Panjab'. Watercolour portrait by a Sikh artist, c. 1846. Maharaja Gulab Singh Jamwal (21 October 1792 - 30 June 1857) was the first Maharaja of the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir and founder of the Dogra Dynasty. Jammu and Kashmir was the largest state under the British Raj, formed after the First Anglo-Sikh War and the collapse of the Sikh Empire. The Sino-Sikh War, or Sino-Dogra War, was fought from May 1841 to August 1842 between the Qing Empire and Gulab Singh's forces, after he unsuccessfully invaded western Tibet and was routed.
