Gurdev Singh President, Institute of Sikh Studies Sidharat Media Printers for printing this volume in a decent format. I wholeheartedly applaud the enthusiastic support of my esteemed colleagues of the Institute of Sikh Studies to this lofty project. The Institute of Sikh Studies congratulate and thank them on this accomplishment. The first volume is in the hands of the readers and the second will follow it very soon. Their joint efforts have brought forth a unique literary desideratum which is a bellwether of historiographic representation. Kulwant Singh under the benign guidance and active collaboration of Dr Kharak Singh, Editor, Abstracts of Sikh Studies, has accomplished the translation of Sri Gur Panth Prakash into English creditably. With poised profile and missionary zeal, Prof. Professor Kulwant Singh with rich experience, savvy command of Punjabi and English languages and sound knowledge of Sikh culture was an apt associate to form an intellectually simpatico duet to render erudite treatment to the subject. Refreshingly he found a worthy companion to carry out this gigantic task. Dr Kharak Singh, whose scholarly eminence and global view need no introduction, had for a long time been cherishing the idea of enabling the English knowing people to have access to the monumental work of Rattan Singh Bhangoo. His writings rekindle the greatness of Sikh faith in the minds of the readers and inspire them to imbibe noble human qualities. The historians and the Sikh people will ever remain indebted to Sardar Rattan Singh for bringing to limelight the efforts of the Khalsa to remain committed to their faith under excruciatingly trying circumstances. They made supreme sacrifices for claiming what was their birth right. He learnt the truth of the incidents in proper perspective from his ancesstors who had borne the hardships and were actively involved in organising and executing the plans of the Khalsa. His passion for sharing facts of the sacrifices of the Khalsa flows from his parentage. He is uniquely placed among the Khalsa from both his maternal and paternal side. His contributions for sharing very valuable and dependable details regarding the incidents related to the rise of the Khalsa to rule over Punjab have a specially high niche among the Sikh chronicles. Sardar Rattan Singh Bhangoo and his ancestors played stellar roles creating landmarks in Sikh history. _įOREWORD It is a matter of great pleasure for the Institute of Sikh Studies to present this valuable source of Sikh Studies to the English-knowing people both in India and abroad. The Institute sincerely appreciates his generosity and is deeply grateful to him.
