Description and Table of Contents
Description
Part of a two-volume work which covers the history of the Sikh faith, this book describes the social, religious and political background which led to the forming of the faith in the 15th century. Basing his account on original documents in Persian, Gurmukhi and English, the author traces the growth of Sikhism and tells of the compilation of its sacred scriptures in the Granth Sahib. The transformation of the Sikhs from a pacifist sect to a militant group called the Khalsas, led by Guru Gobind Singh, is portrayed in detail, as is the persecution of the Sikhs by Mughals and Afghans, until the consolidation of Sikh power under Maharahah Ranjit Singh.
