Modern historical writing on the Sikhs started in the last quarter
of the eighteenth century as a Western enterprise for purposes
which were predominantly political and pragmatic, but nonetheless a
part of the Western intellectual culture. Before the end of the
nineteenth century, Indian writers appeared on the scene in
response to this historiography. By now, Sikh studies are a common
concern of the Indian and Western scholars. The first two parts
relate to the major European writers till 1947, including Malcolm,
Prinsep, Cunningham, Trumpp and Macauliffe. The Indian historians
of the colonial period discussed in three parts include Latif,
Banerjee, Sinha, Narang, Gupta, Chopra, Kohli, and Teja Singh and
Ganda Singh. The expanding scope and the trends of Sikh studies are
discussed in the last part which also gives a critical assessment
of the recent controversies in Sikh studies about the basic issues
of five centuries of Sikh history: life, mission and status of Guru
Nanak; evolution and politicization of the Sikh movement under his
successors; institution of the Khalsa; the Khalsa way of life;
nature of the Singh Sabha movement; the issues of Sikh identity and
Sikh ethnicity after 1947. The book will be of interest to
historians of medieval, modern, and contemporary India as well as
to scholars engaged in Sikh studies, and indispensable for
researchers and teachers in India and abroad.
