DESCRIPTION

In a revised edition of his original book J.S. Grewal brings the history of the Sikhs from its beginnings in the time of Guru Nanak the founder of Sikhism right up to the present day.

Subsequent chapters explore the life and beliefs of Guru Nanak the development of his ideas and institutions under his successors and the growth of his following. The book offers a comprehensive statement on one of the largest and most important communities in India today.
