Joseph Davey Cunningham (1812 1851) joined the East India Company's
army thanks to the patronage of Sir Walter Scott. He became the
assistant to Colonel Claud Wade, a political agent on the Sikh
frontier, in 1837, and spent eight years in various political roles
living among the Sikh in the Punjab. While writing a report in 1844
for the government, he decided to undertake the history of the
Sikhs, and received encouragement for the project from his father,
Scottish poet and author Allan Cunningham. He spent four years on
the book, and while it established his reputation as a historian of
India, it also destroyed his career as a colonial official: he fell
foul of the Army in India for his revelation of supposedly secret
negotiations with Sikh leaders, and allegations of corruption,
during the First Anglo-Sikh War of 1845 1846.
