Early victories of Durrani Ahmad Shah... - The Great Durrani Empire | Facebook
His Durrani empire was one of the largest Islamic empires in the world at that time. However, even prior to his death, the empire began to unravel. In 1762, Ahmad Shah crossed the passes from Afghanistan for the sixth time to subdue the Sikhs. He assaulted Lahore and, after taking their holy city of Amritsar, massacred thousands of Sikh inhabitants, destroying their revered Golden Temple. Within two years, the Sikhs rebelled again and rebuilt their holy city of Amritsar. Ahmad Shah tried several more times to subjugate the Sikhs permanently, but failed.
The SIkhs took to cover and didn't fight the Ahmad Shah's army. There were small attacks but nothing large or disruptive. The Afghans came through Punjab again to fight at Panipat.
