India and the Punjab Prachin Panth Parkash by Rattan Singh Bhangu. In Punjabi dated 1962 approx 300 pages. In the beginning of the 19th century the British East India Company approached the Punjab frontier. They wanted to know about the Sikhs and their rise to power in Punjab. The policy of British imperialists was to seek to compile a history of the locals in the region which they held colonial ambitions over. In the early 1800s Sir David Ochterlony entrusted his deputy Captain Murray with the compilation with collecting a legitimate history of the Sikhs. In a chance meeting between Rattan Singh Bhangu and Captain Murray the latter convinced him to compile a history of the Sikhs. Rattan Singh Bhangu belonged to a very prestigious family of Nihang Singhs. His grandfather was the famous warrior Mehtab Singh who killed Massa Ranghar for desecrating the Sikh holy shrine of Harimandir Sahib. The leader of Mehtab Singh’s Dal or battalion was Sham Singh – the other grandfather of Rattan Singh Bhangu. The full scale involvement of his family in the Sikh struggles of the 18th Century thus allows Rattan Singh Bhangu to give an insightful account of the historical events and the philosophy of the Nihang Singhs. Rattan Singh spent more than thirty years preparing a historical volume for his Khalsa brethren. At the very beginning of his work he states : ‘Now I narrate the saga of the Singhs as my own elders narrated to and as I have heard from other ancient Sikhs the old Sikhs had many virtues.’ A rare title. Good condition.
