▷ En este Día de 25 Abril (1809): Firma del Tratado de Amritsar

Charles T. Metcalfe, representante de la Compañía Británica de las Indias Orientales, y Ranjit Singh, jefe del reino sij del Punjab, firmaron el Tratado de Amritsar, que zanjó las relaciones indo-sijas durante una generación. Véase un análisis sobre las características del Sijismo o Sikhismo y sus Creencias, una religión profesada por 14 millones de indios, que viven principalmente en el Punjab. Los sijs creen en un único Dios (monoteísmo) que es el creador inmortal del universo (véase más) y que nunca se ha encarnado en ninguna forma, y en la igualdad de todos los seres humanos; el sijismo se opone firmemente a las divisiones de casta. Exatamente 17 años antes, la primera guillotina se erigió en la plaza de Grève de París para ejecutar a un salteador de caminos.
