Explanation:

The increasing strength of Ranjit Singh, alarmed the chiefs of other misls. With his occupation of Lahore their jealousies as well as fears were aroused. Lahore had always remained the centre of political power of the Punjab. Therefore the chiefs of other misls began to consider Ranjit Singh’s rising power as a danger to their very existence. Hence they thought of making a bid unitedly to wrest Lahore from Ranjit Singh. Not many days after Ranjit Singh had occupied Lahore, Gulab Singh Bhangi, Sahib Singh Bhangi, Sahib Singh Gajrati, Jassa Singh Ramgarhia and Nizam-ud-Din ruler of Qasur, advanced towards Lahore to dislodge

Ranjit Singh and encamped in the plains of village Bhasin near Lahore. Ranjit Singh also got prepared for the contest. For two months armies of both the sides remained arrayed against each other. A few skirmishes took place but the confedrates against Ranjit Singh did not risk a full- scale war. During this period of procrastination, Bhangi Chief Gulab Singh , one day drank himself to death and his troopers left Bhasin, following which other allied forces also melted away and Ranjit Singh emerged victorious.
