Brief Description: Here is a work that has been acclaimed as an outstanding piece of research work on Sikh history during the 20th century. This work takes its place with the greatest of the works which have followed from the days of Cunningham and Macauliffe.

This work presents an account of extermination of Buddhism from land of its birth. Thereafter the author analyses the account of the Sikhs from Guru Nanak Dev to the present day. He goes into the process of development of Sikhism during the Guru period and after - for another half a century or so, the Singh Sabha movement and its afterflow till 1925. He lays emphasis on universal humanism of Guru Nanak, striking at Varnashramdharma, with inbuilt inequalities of Brahminism. Adi Granth is true representative of heterodoxy of faiths that prevailed in India, and constituted the basic source of Indian secularism notwithstanding semantics of M K Gandhi - the greatest ideologue of Hinduism in 20th century.

The author also dilates on the process of infiltration at first by Handalis, Minas, Brahmins down to post-Ranjit Singh era and loss of Sikh political power in 1849, and the 20th century onslaught at the hands of Bania-Brahmin pseudo secularists. He presents a picture of shortfall in Sikh leadership, eventually leading to their ouster from the national mainstream at the time of framing of the Constitution in 1949 and terrible days of 1984 and after.

The widespread apostasy, rise of Sant-Babas, induction of Bhayyas to reduce the Sikhs to a minority in Punjab, fulmination of Hindutava forces underpinned by Congress, and again the inadequacy of Sikh leadership are major factors in the current scenario that will determine the course of Sikh history in 21st century.

A chapter on Sikh Diaspora constitutes the epitome of the work. It surveys the Sikh scenario with special reference to the Sikh situation in Britain and North America, and its possible potentialities.

This work will serve as a loadstar to the historiography of 21st century, and will emerge as a classic one on Sikh history.
