"A religion born in rebellion. A people shaped by faith, war, and survival."
Volume 1 of A History of the Sikhs by Khushwant Singh is a sweeping historical account that traces the Sikh community’s roots from the birth of Guru Nanak in 1469 to the rise of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and the formation of a sovereign Sikh state in 1839. This isn’t just about dates and events—it’s the gripping saga of a faith that emerged as a challenge to orthodoxy, grew under persecution, and flourished into a political and military power.
Singh begins with the life and teachings of Guru Nanak, exploring how his philosophy set the foundation for Sikh identity: equality, courage, and devotion without dogma. Through each succeeding Guru, we see the faith evolve—from spiritual movement to community to Khalsa—a warrior brotherhood established to resist tyranny and defend justice.
What sets this book apart is how Singh brings historical figures and battles to life while maintaining scholarly credibility. He explores the Mughal-Sikh tensions, the martyrdoms, the social reforms, and the strategic brilliance that culminated in the rise of Ranjit Singh, who unified the Punjab into a strong and inclusive empire.
This volume is a must-read for anyone looking to understand Sikhism’s historical journey, its philosophical core, and its contribution to Indian history. And now, you can access this classic directly from Bookdio as a free pdf download or a free books download—no barriers, just knowledge.
