Warrior Saints: Three Centuries of the Sikh Military Tradition (The Sikh Foundation) - Tapa dura

Published to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Sikh Brotherhood, this is a collection of over 100 images depicting Sikh prowess in war - photographs covering the last 150 years, together with early prints and paintings. Quotes from the Sikh gurus and from allies and foes of the Sikh soldiers, detailed captions and a brief commentary trace the spiritual and ethical origins of the Sikh call-to-arms, the martyrdoms and conflict of the Mogul period, the founding of the Khalsa by Guru Gobind Singh, the Anglo-Sikh wars, and the contributions of Sikhs in both World Wars and more recent international conflicts.

Amandeep S. Madra has worked on numerous international Sikh projects and is currently working on a pictorial history of the Sikh diaspora. Parmjit Singh is an independent researcher specialising in the Sikh military tradition.
