Dr. Ganda Singh being the editor of The Singh Sabha and other Socio-Religious Movements in the Punjab, the study delivers more than it seemingly promises. The value of this study lies in the fact that contrary to current poststructuralist claims that the Singh-Sabha Lahore was a colonial byproduct, multiple Sikh heavyweight scholars trace its historical origins to the initial Nirankari movement of Baba Dyal Singh Ji; the hitherto uncorrupted Namdhari movements of Baba Balak Singh Ji and Baba Ram Singh Ji as well as the militant uprisings of Bhai Maharaj Singh against British authoritarianism. It vindicates the Singh-Sabha Lahore of all the charges levelled against it. A valuable edition to any Sikh library. ( )
