Wikipedia's article on the Sikh Empire, community-edited. Reliable for the settled dates of its rise, Maharaja Ranjit Singh's 1799 capture of Lahore, formally crowned in 1801, and its end, the British East India Company's annexation proclaimed 30 March and completed 2 April 1849 after the Second Anglo-Sikh War; not the right source for a claim about the religious status of Sikhs under British rule after the annexation, since the article covers the political state rather than the faith's subsequent practice.
