Harisimran Singh, the author of this work, brings alive the life and times of Deep Singh as the quintessential sant-sipahi (warrior-saint), the unofficial patron-saint of
Courage and Resolve, and a rare embodiment of the Khalsa ideology as he
seeks to faithfully answer several questions. Why has the Deep Singh narrative
acquired such epic proportions to grip generation after generation? Often
portrayed in prints with his head in one hand and a broadsword in the other, is
he more myth than reality? In the process of collation, analysis, and synthesis, the dialectic filtering of information through the prism of logic and probability has been an essential adjunct for the author, especially while trying to boldly separate myth from certitude for several contentious issues, including Deep Singh’s last battle
fought in November 1757 near Amritsar.This account promises to be the more memorable for its stylistic panache and equally for the generous representation of vaars in the original Gurmukhi script alongside their English transcreation in rousing rhyme.
