This volume covers the social, religious, and political background which led to the forming of the Sikh faith in the fifteenth century.

This review is from: History of the Sikhs, vol 1: 1469-1839.Rep. with Corrections (Paperback)
there millions of sikhs all over the world, who would like to know about their heritage, in a nondistorted way. there is no reliable text that one could refer to. kushwant singh probably is the most reliable source at this point.we should not be deprived of this source of enlightenment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lucid and scholarly, July 21, 2000
This review is from: History of the Sikhs, vol 1: 1469-1839.Rep. with Corrections (Paperback)
The most readable and trustworthy account of the history of the Sikhs yet. Sikhism has stood the test of time and stands for universal brotherhood. Here is a book that narrates the history of this glorious religion without emphasizing its recent dirty and divisive politics (as opposed to Patwant Singh's attempt at 'history')

Highly recommended for uninitiated westerners, serious scholars and history buffs.
