Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unifying theme in the life of Guru Gobind Singh was confrontation with the Mughals, which culminated in a struggle for political power. This fact is brought into sharp focus when we consider the Guru’s life and legacy simultaneously in the contexts of the Mughal Empire, its feudatory states in the hills, and the Sikh movement. The creation of the Khalsa in 1699 as a political community with the aspiration to rule made conciliation or compromise with the Mughal state almost impossible. Their long struggle ended eventually in the declaration of Khalsa Raj in 1765. Using contemporary and near contemporary sources in Gurmukhi, Persian, and English, J.S. Grewal presents a comprehensive study of this era of Sikh history. The volume elaborates on the life and legacy of Guru Gobind Singh and explores the ideological background of the institution of the Khalsa and its larger political context. Grewal, however, emphasizes that the legacy of the Khalsa was also social and cultural. This authoritative volume on the tenth Guru is a significant addition to the field of Sikh studies.

Download or read book The Sikh Zafar namah of Guru Gobind Singh written by Louis E. Fenech and published by . This book was released on 2013-01-31 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louis E. Fenech offers a compelling new examination of one of the only Persian compositions attributed to the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh (1666-1708): the Zafar-namah or 'Epistle of Victory.' Written as a masnavi, a Persian poem, this letter was originally sent to the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb (d. 1707) rebuking his most unbecoming conduct. Incredibly, Guru Gobind Singh's letter is included today within the Sikh canon, one of only a very small handful of Persian-language texts granted the status of Sikh scripture. As such, its contents are sung on special Sikh occasions. Perhaps equally surprising is the fact that the letter appears in the tenth Guru's book or the Dasam Granth in the standard Gurmukhi script (in which Punjabi is written) but retains its original Persian language, a vernacular few Sikhs know. Drawing out the letter's direct and subtle references to the Iranian national epic, the Shah-namah, and to Shaikh Sa'di's thirteenth-century Bustan, Fenech demonstrates how this letter served as a form of Indo-Islamic verbal warfare, ensuring the tenth Guru's moral and symbolic victory over the legendary and powerful Mughal empire. Through analysis of the Zafar-namah, Fenech resurrects an essential and intiguing component of the Sikh tradition: its Islamicate aspect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guru Gobind Singh (1666 - 1708), the tenth Guru of the Sikhs was, by all standards of reckoning one of the most remarkable men of all times. He was a saint, scholar, poet, warrior and also a polyglot. In elevating the lowly and downtrodden he did pioneering work long before the birth of Karl Marx and Lenin. He was a man with a mission - a strongly felt aim or calling. By founding the Khalsa, he effaced the caste system, raised the lowest to the highest level, united the people, and defied the might of the Mughal Empire. The history of the world, perhaps, has not known another man with so many martyrs in his family. Guru Gobind 's kinsmen sacrificed themselves for the sake of their country and people. His great grandfather, Guru Arjan, was mercilessly tortured to death; his grandfather, Guru Hargobind was captured and incarcerated; his father, Guru Tegh Bahadur, was beheaded; and the Guru himself was the victim of a hired assassin's dagger. Here was a man who sacrificed all that he had for the cause that he espoused - his parents, four sons, thousands of followers and ultimately himself.
