Daranat Shah's State was a breakaway and short-lived sovereign Sikh state during the early 18th century in the Punjab region of the Mughal Empire that existed from 1740 to 1741. It was established by Deep Singh Shaheed in the Sirhind Province of the Delhi Subah, shortly after Nadir Shah's departure in 1739.[1]

History
[edit]Establishment
Contemporary historian Harcharan Das notes "In the year 1740, a year after the departure of Nadir Shah, a large body of Jats and Sikhs assembled, marched towards Sarhind, and create great disturbances. They set up Daranat Shah (Dip Singh) as their leader and seized many lands there."[2] The capital of the state is not recorded.
Daranat Shah
Daranat Shah was the Persianized name given to the leader of the rebels, Deep Singh Shaheed. Hari Ram Gupta writes "The Sikhs and Jats of the Sirhind Province chose a Daranat Shah as their ruler in 1740. It appears that this Daranat Shah was none other than Dip Singh himself."[1]
Muhammad Shah's Invasion
Deep Singh's state, did not last long as within the a year, the Mughal Emperor Muhammad Shah dispatched a force to quell the rebels. According to Harcharan Das's Chahár Gulzár Shujá'í, "When this news was brought to the notice of Emperor Muhammad Shah, he appointed Azimullah Khan to chastise these rebels. Azimullah Khan arrived, in that district, defeated, dispersed them, and then retired to Shahjahanabad."[2]
