In the History of the Sikhs The Author not only provides fascinating details about the Sikhs but also displays his penchant for minute Observations on subjects as varied as the saffron and shawls of Cashmeer (Kashmir) to the Dogras and Kunnets of the Himalayas. The book traces the Birth and rise of Sikhism, and records Punjab's history in the Context of the geo-political situation prevailing during the crucial period in the nineteenth century. Of equal interest are the footnotes, notes and the appendices that provide details of the historic treaties as well as translations of the wonderful poetic renderings of the Sikh Gurus.
