Though the history of Sikh-Muslim relations is fraught with
conflict, this book examines how the policies of Sikh rulers
attempted to avoid religious bigotry and prejudice at a time when
Muslims were treated as third-class citizens. Focusing on the
socio-economic, political and religious condition of Muslims under
Sikh rule in the Punjab during the 19th century, this book
demonstrates that Maharaja Ranjit Singh and his successors took a
secular approach towards their subjects. Using various archival
sources, including the Fakir Khana Family archives and the Punjab
Archives, the author argues citizens had freedom to practice their
religion, with equal access to employment, education and justice.
