In this compact but informative book, the author presents a concise history of the followers of one of the world’s newest religions: Sikhism. Beginning with the life and times of the founder, the highly revered Guru Nanak (1469-1539), he goes on to describe the vital contribution made by the following nine gurus in shaping and developing the Sikh religion. The significance of the Sikh holy book, the Guru Granth Sahib, and its centrality to the religion are emphasized. The author discusses epoch-making developments such as the setting up of Singh Sabha and the accompanying social reform, the decisive Akali agitation for control of various Sikh shrines and the impact of the Ghadar rebellion.
