W.G.Osborne:-"He was one of that order of minds which seem destined by nature to win their way to distinction and achieve greatness....He rules with a rod of Iron , it is true, but in justice to him it must be stated that,except in actual open warfare, he has never been known to take life, and his reign will be found freer from any striking acts of cruelty and oppression than those of many more civilized monarchs." - By Navpreet ,
