A History of the Sikhs, Volume 1: 1469-1839 by Khushwant Singh
3.0
During my short time in Chennai, this book filled my memories.
Frantically, I was searching for book stores in Chennai, India.
The one, that I was looking for, classic, worth time, not fluff.
I could not find classic works, or books that are not so popular, yet worth investing our time. Most books were popular best sellers. I took this book in Chennai, India. I found this at a book store in Express Avenue Mall.
Growing up in Tamil Nadu, India. I did not have much contact with Sikh community. They're known for valor and sticking with Sikh traditions. I wanted a break from my dense reading, and lack of interest.
So, I took this to read something light to get me back to reading.
This book shares about Sikh religion, early Gurus, formation of Khalsa. Region of Punjab having conflicts with Mughals, Afghans, Marathas and English. This book is until 1839, the English consolidated India in 1857.
I learnt about, how Sikh community was formed, castes within their community, socio-economic status of Sikhs.
I would recommend this book to learn about Sikh Community, their religious tradition.
