Origin of the Sikh Power in the Punjab by Henry T. Prinsep

A landmark early account of the rise of Sikh power in North India. First published in 1834, Origin of the Sikh Power in the Punjab sees Henry T. Prinsep trace the meteoric ascent of the Khalsa from scattered misls to the unified Sikh Empire under Maharaja Ranjit Singh.

Written at the time the Sikh state was still expanding, Prinsep draws on British diplomatic correspondence, political reports and first-hand observation to chart battles, alliances, leadership struggles and the military reforms that alarmed the East India Company.

An essential primary source for students of the Sikh Empire, Anglo-Sikh relations and the transformation of eighteenth and early nineteenth-century Punjab.
