I am deferring the review of the book, "Akalis, A Short History" by J. S. Garewal.I am constraint to do it because of non-academic situation in the college where I teach. I am forced to return the book and those books which were required to verify the contents in the book in order to evaluate the book.I have now redefined the aim of this blog. I will take up only those books which I will

A Fourth Posting - Chapter 3Emergence of the Akalis (1920-1922)The prefatory paragraph of this chapter begins with reference to two theories. One theory is enunciated and other theory is contended. The theory on which the author has stressed that Akalis were the pioneer of the non-violent movement in India. The theory which has been negated is that Akalis were "a semi-military corps trained for

A Third Posting - Chapter 2The heading of the second chapter is "Sikh tradition : The Historical Context". The chapter begins with a brief definition of the word "Akali".

Chapter 1: An Overview: The Second PostingThe title of the first chapter is ‘An Overview’. The first impression which I felt like giving after reading the chapter at one go that it was a hurried overview. It was an overview with a preconceived notion about the role of Akalis. It is an overview of the author himself and for himself. Further, the content of the chapter is such that one feels that
