The battle

Sikhs assembled in May 1762 and plundered the baggage of Zain Khan Sirhindi[2][3]. The Sikh forces fought a severe battle with Durranis at Harnaulgarh, a place 30 miles from Sirhind. The Sikhs secured victory at Harnaulgarh and the defeated governor of Sirhind was to pay tribute as a penalty for the loss.

gollark: Ongoing memetics campaigns.
