Description The history of perhaps no other Indian community has been so passionately studied for a variety of reasons as that of the Sikhs and their faith. With different writers and scholars the motives for doing so have been different. The trend was first set by the British officials, travellers and scholars like Trump and Macaulife. The main interest of the British administrators ever since the eighties of the eighteenth century was to understand the psyche of the Sikhs and the fundamentals of their religion as they had by that time emerged as a great political force in the potentially more important north-western frontier region of India. This is a first publication in 1996 edition.
