Trouble with the Sikhs was endless; they raided as far as Delhi practically every year for money and possessions. They entered Delhi three times in 11 years from 1772 to 1783–in 1772, 1778 and 1783 with underhand help from the then wazirs of Shah Alam Il There was ongoing warfare with the Sikhs who were marauding in eastern Punjab and plundering the Rohilla, Mewar (Rajput) and Jat lands. During Shah Alam's reign the Sikhs fought not just with the Mughals, but with the Marathas, Rajputs, and Rohillas.

By the end of 1786, Sikh raids extended toward Delhi and the upper Gangetic plains, still nominally under Mughal protection, but also an area from which the Rohilla Afghans and Marathas collected periodic tribute.
