Summary:
In 1812, Sir John Malcom, a Lieutenant General in the British Army
wrote "A Sketch of the Sikhs," commonly believed to be the first
account of the Sikhs written by a non-Sikh. In truth, soldiers,
travelers, diplomats, missionaries, and scholars had provided
accounts for many years before that. Drawing on this
difficult-to-find material, the editors of this volume have compiled
a unique source that offers a fascinating insight into the early
developments in Sikh history. From the first ever written accounts of
the Sikhs by Persian chroniclers of the Moghul Emperor to the travel
diary of an Englishwoman, this volume contains material invaluable to
those studying the evolution of the Sikh religion.
