The Early Mughal-Sikh Wars were a series of significant armed conflicts between Sikhs and the Mughal Empire, spanning the years of 1621 to 1658, happening primarily in the Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent. It is distinguished from the Later Mughal-Sikh Wars which saw a continued struggle from the Sikhs towards the Mughals.
