DESCRIPTION
This book deals with the British discovery of Sikhs, their literature and history. Further, it reminds us the Sikh political success after the occupation of Lahore by Ranjit Singh in 1799. True that the British enquiry was diplomatic and military during the 18 century. However, the Anglo-Sikh relations after the fall of Delhi and Hansi into the hands of Company in 1803 and more so the Anglo-Sikh treaties of January 1806 and April 1809 widened the scope of the enquiry. With Malcolm’s work published in 1810, the Punjabi and Sikh writings especially the Bani of the Gurus or its elaborations by the Bhai’s such as Gurdass and Mani Singh entered the field under investigations. Sikh history and religion emerged as a common genre by the middle of the 19 century.
