The Eighteenth Century in Sikh History: Political Resurgence, Religious and Social Life, and Cultural Articulation
Malhotra, Karamjit K. (, Assistant Professor in the Department of Punjab Historical Studies, Punjabi University, Patiala.)
This book is based on a wide range of the eighteenth-century sources. It bridges the earlier and later periods of Sikh history. In addition to the political struggle of the Khalsa, their polity, religious developments, and literary and artistic expressions, this study examines the issues of caste, gender, ethics, rites and ceremonies, and concludes with a discussion of heightened consciousness of distinctive Sikh identity by the end of the period.
