"=Sikh Empire?=== 

 Is it true that only because Ranjit Singh was Sikh that his empire is being labeled a ""Sikh Empire""?  We know that he was a secular ruler with a cabinet or court full of advisers from diverse backgrounds.  Thus, isn't this akin to saying that India is currently a ""Sikh Empire"" since Manmohan Singh is a Sikh...  What about the US, is it a ""Christian Empire"" because George W. Bush is a Christian?
