Adina Beg allied with Sikhs and Marathas only to benefit Panjab Adina Beg possessed a brilliant mind which he used in good affect against Sikh raiders, Afghans and the encroaching Marathas, All this was for the unity of Panjab. Adina Beg was the first true ruler whom united Panjab mentioning a maurader like Banda Singh is an insult to Panjab its like glorifying all the massacres he committed upon the people of Panjab.Well, Banda Singh founded the first Punjab state 50 years before Adina Beg. Banda Singh had deep hatred for the Mughal subedar of Sirhind as the latter had executed young sons (aged 5 and 9) of the last Sikh guru.
Other than that his movement was generally supported by Punjabi peasants regardless of their religion as Banda Singh abolished Zimindari system. Mughal court records mention that 5000 Punjabi Muslims had joined the wretched army of Banda Singh.
Adina Beg too allied with the Sikhs (and even Marathas) against the Afghans. It wasn't about religion always
And for this Banda Singh was eventually hanged to death as a criminal should be.
