Summary

Description
English: Letter from Pratap Singh of Jaipur addressed to the Sarbat Khalsa of the Dal Khalsa discussing his surrender to the Sikhs, divvying up the land from their conquests in the Bagar region, and acceptance of paying the Rakhi tax.

Quoted excerpt from the 'Ahadnama' dated 25 January 1787: “Any territory conquered in the region of Bagar (sandy desert area between India and Pakistan) will be divided between both and the Khalsa shall receive their Rakhi.”

The Rakhi system was a new system introduced by the Sikhs in the eighteenth century. Under this system, protection was provided to the cultivators against external aggression on the payment of a tax of 20 percent of the produce.
