A History of the Sikh Misals by Dr. Bhagat Singh

This work on the Sikh Misals mainly relates to the eighteenth century, which is one of the most eventful periods of Sikh history. Covering the struggles against the Mughals, Ahmad Shah Durrani, and the Marathas. The Sikhs, led by Kapur Singh Faizullapuria, Jassa Singh Ahluwalia, Jassa Singh Ramgarhia, Charhat Singh Sukarchakia, Tara Singh Ghaiba, Jai Singh Kanaihya, Ala Singh Phulkian, Baghel Singh Karorsinghia, Lehna Singh, and Gujjar Singh Bhangis, organized themselves into armed units and waged a life and death struggle for Sikh and Punjabi political emancipation.

By 1768, having overpowered all their enemies, the Sikhs obtained possession of the majority of the Punjab. The Misals passed from deliverers to rulers of their territories.

British Newspaper Reports on the Sikhs: The Sikh Empire (7th July, 1799 – 8th March, 1846)

This book is a compilation of over one hundred British newspaper articles regarding the Sikhs spanning over fourty-six years from 1799 until 1846.  In summary, it provides a brilliantly broad view of British interactions and observations of the Punjab and the Sikhs.

It is a treasure trove of information, from the sketches of the Sikhs, descriptions of the local people, overviews of the landscape or the cities through which the observer had travelled, as well as the bias and views of the writer.

History of the Punjab, & the Rise, Progress, & Present Condition of the Sect & Nation of the Sikhs by Henry Thoby Prinsep

The book deals mainly with the political history of the Sikhs from 1742 to 1831.

Henry Thoby Prinsep's (1792 - 1878) work is primarily based on the material collected by Murray. Prinsep has further enriched this information by adding from Captain Wade's (Agent at Ludhiana) report and from some other sources too. 

Captain Murray spent sixteen years (1815 to 1831) among the Sikhs as Assistant Political Agent at Ludhiana, Deputy Superintendant of Sikh and Hill Affairs and later Political Agent at Ambala. During his stay among the Sikhs he collected a large amount of written material and oral information, which remained unpublished for sometime (it is now available in printed form).

Prinsep re-wrote certain sections and added a chapter on Bentinck and Ranjit Singh's meeting from his own observations.

Amazing deal

The four books included in this deal are simply priceless. The 3 older books here are in a great print and very easily readable. All books have excellent covers and two of the books boast sketches by Alexis Saltykov!

Bajwa's book on the military system of the Sikhs is really well-written analysis of the armies of the Sikh Empire. Bajwa makes use of and references primary sources from the period, such as Sohan Lal Suri's Umdat-Ut-Tawarikh, which makes this book truly priceless for the knowledge it holds.

The books by Steinbach and Prinsep are outstanding as they serve as witnesses, if you will, for our well-documented history. These two books also highlight the mindsets of western travelers in India which have been shaped by their western (classical) education, through texts such as Herodotus.

Ramblings of a Sikh's newspaper reports is just brilliant - this is information that has been excellently compiled and organised for your reading! A must read, for sure.
