This comprehensive study of the life and legacy of Guru Gobind Singh is based on contemporary and near contemporary sources in Gurmukhi, Persian and English. It studies the ideological background and the political context for the institution of the Khalsa, the most momentous event of Guru Gobind Singh's life. It linked his literary and political activity before the institution of the Khalsa and the subsequent confrontation with the Mughal state, resulting in the establishment of Khalsa Raj.
