Synopsis

Commemorating the 300th anniversary of the Khalsa brotherhood, Warrior Saints presents a sweeping visual and narrative history of Sikh martial heritage from the Mughal era through the modern day.

Over 110 carefully reproduced duo-tint images—early prints, paintings and photographs dating from the 1700s to the late 20th century—anchor the story of how spiritual ideals and ethical codes forged a unique warrior ethos.

Quotations from the Sikh Gurus, contemporaneous allies and adversaries, alongside detailed captions, trace the founding of the Khalsa by Guru Gobind Singh, the rise of the Sikh misls, the Anglo-Sikh wars, service under the British Raj, and Sikh contributions in both World Wars and more recent conflicts.

The authors’ concise commentary illuminates each phase of Sikh military evolution: the spiritual origins of the call-to-arms, the tactical innovations of the 18th- and 19th-century confederacies, and the global reach of Sikh soldiers in the 20th century. Printed in a generous quarto size and bound in cloth with a dust jacket, this 182-page volume remains the definitive reference for collectors, museum curators and anyone seeking an authoritative pictorial survey of Sikh martial tradition.
