Sikha-Shahi is used to denote the high-handedness of a ruler. The term originated during the rule of Maharaja Ranjit Singh of the Sikh Empire^[1]^[2] in Punjab, which stretched from the Kashmir valley^[3] to the mouth of the Khyber Pass. About 70 per cent of the subjects of the Sikh ruler were Muslim.^[4] Allegedly, during the Sikh period in Lahore, curb to religious freedom and economic suppression were imposed on Muslim subjects.^[5] The Sikh rule was dubbed ‘Sikha-Shahi’ by the aggrieved Muslim elite.^[6] The phrase now refers to the rule of a monarchy^[7] or unfavourable court orders^[8] in Pakistan, especially in the Punjab province.^[9]^[10]
