In a growing field of research on print cultures and publics in colonial India, the book offers unique source material for a nuanced and localized understanding of the history of the Sikhs in Punjab. The book is invaluable to scholars and students of history, Punjabi society, religion, and politics. This is volume 2 of a 4-volume set. (Less)
