ABOUT THE BOOK

Life of Guru Gobind Singh by Prof. Kartar Singh is widely considered one of the most authentic and meticulously researched biographies of the tenth Sikh Guru. First published in the early 20th century, this work was written to provide a factual, chronological, and deeply reverent account of a life that changed the course of Indian history.

Prof. Kartar Singh’s approach is unique because he cross-references traditional Sikh sources (like the Suraj Parkash and Bachittar Natak) with contemporary Mughal records, providing a balanced view of the Guru as a Saint-Soldier (Sant-Sipahi).

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Prof. Kartar Singh (1897–1962) was an eminent Sikh scholar and historian. At a time when Sikh history was often being misinterpreted by colonial historians or mythologized beyond recognition, he sought to present the Guru’s life in a way that was historically sound yet spiritually vibrant. His writing is known for its clarity, emotional depth, and commitment to the "Khalsa" ideals.
