Synopsis

When “Sparrow Became Hawks” incorporates and analyzes Sikh normative religious literature created during the eighteenth century by reading it alongside news reports, court histories, and other primary sources, drawing on Persian, Punjabi, and Braj texts from archives throughout Northern India. Author’s contextualization of the changing ideology of the Khalsa within broader political and cultural processes in North India show how martial practices were materially shaped in response to religious reforms.
