The Sikhs And The British 1849-1920

This well-documented and well-researched treatise analyses the love and hate relationship between the Sikhs and the British relationship in the post Maharaja Ranjit Singh's era and post annexation period of Punjab from 1849-1920. The author opines that the religion-political renaissance among the Sikhs during this period was the major reason for the clash of interests between the Sikhs and the British. The same Sikh renaissance became the precursor of Indian freedom struggle. The whole account is based on facts and figures, and makes an objective evaluation of Sikh British relationship. The author has a good command over the English language, but, at places, his complex sentences create problems for ordinary readers
