This is the first axhaustive and detailed account of Guru Nanak’s direct involvement in the politics of his time. Was Guru Nanak responsible for inviting Babar to Invade India? The entire historical record has been analysed to find an authentic answer.
Punjab has always continued to occupy a crucial position in the domains of the Delhi sovereigns. All political changes and revolutions occured only with the aid of Punjab. The relationship between the Sikh Gurus and the Delhi rulers which was of a mercurial nature has been discussed in detail to show that Sikhism from the very time of Guru Nanak aimed at awakening political consciousness in people to prepare them for obtaining political ascendancy. On almost every page, the reader will come across fresh information which has not been provided by any publication before. The conclusions of Dr. Gurmit Singh are in sharp contrast to the generally accepted views of the historians.
