Satnam Singh: The Road to Empire, Gebunden

Klappentext

"The Road to Empire is one of the only English-language books to deal with a fascinating subject that gets little attention: the literature produced by the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century court of the Tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh. An excellent contribution to the field."--Lou Fenech, author of The Cherished Five in Sikh History

"This is an exciting new work, highly relevant in the field of modern Sikh studies and a must-read for both scholars and laypeople."--Pashaura Singh, Distinguished Professor, Department for the Study of Religion, University of California, Riverside
"In this innovative study, Satnam Singh brings to light the complex relationships among the Sikh, Indic, and Islamic literatures that helped shape Sikh conceptions of sovereignty and political theory."--Robin Rinehart, Richard H. Jr. '60 and Joan K. Sell Chair in the Humanities and Professor of Religious Studies, Lafayette College
"I commend Singh on his thorough, rigorous, and groundbreaking research. Articulately expressed, this is an essential source for gaining insight into the development of the Sikh community in the late seventeenth to the late eighteenth century."--Opinderjit Kaur Takhar MBE, Director of the Centre for Sikh and Panjabi Studies, University of Wolverhampton
