In the 18th century, as the Mughal Empire began to decline precipitously, constantly under attack by Ahmad Shah Abdali of Afghanistan, Punjab, then a key Mughal province, descended into chaos. In a time when the Marathas, the Rajputs, the Rohillas, the Jats and the British were engaged in a constant game of one-upmanship, vying for control of Delhi, the Sikhs started flexing their military muscle and became the de facto rulers of their homeland. Drawing upon eyewitness accounts and the poetry of Rattan Singh Bhangu, Gyani Gian Singh and others, Cauldron Sword and Victory tells that exhilarating story.

In Cauldron, Sword and Victory: The Rise of Sikhs, author, Sarbpreet Singh, takes the reader across the tumultuous decades of the eighteenth century, the red...

My new book, Cauldron, Sword and Victory: The Rise of Sikhs, is now available at https://www.amazon.in/Cauldron-Sword-Victory-Rise-Sikhs/dp/0670098493/
as well as in bookstores all over India.
Drawing heavily on eyewitness accounts and extensively researched, it brings to life an exciting and turbulent chapter in the history of the Indian subcontinent.
As the Mughal Empire declines rapidly and Ahmad Shah Abdali of Afghanistan launches attack after attack, the Sikhs, benefitting from the ensuing chaos in Punjab start to flex their military muscle as heroes such as Charat Singh Shukerchakia, Jassa Singh Ahluwalia, Baghel Singh and Jassa Singh Ramgarhia move into the spotlight. The Sikhs engage with the adventurer George Thomas, The powerful Marathas, The Rohillas, The Jats and The British East India Company, as competing interests jockey for position in a never ending quest for power and glory.
