The transformation of the Sikhs from a pacifist sect to a militant group called the Khasla led by Guru Gobind Singh is portrayed in detail, as is the relationship of the Sikhs with the Mughals and the Afghans, until the consolidation of Sikh power under Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
Scholarly yet accessible, Volume 2 focuses on the Sikh struggle for survival as a separate community post-1839 till the years after Independence, amrked by the demand for a distinct Sikh State. The second edition is updated with a preface and an epilogue that analyses events following the end of terrorism in Punjab and the achievement of the community's aspirations.
