Description

'We are warriors, Painda. The Khalsa does not think of war as entertainment; death is not a joke, killing men is no festival,' said Gobind. A boy grows up, suddenly, into adulthood when he is brought the severed head of his father. He is born to rule but never acts like a monarch. Invincible as a warrior, he has the soul of a mystic. Poetry fills his heart. Few men before or after him have used a bow as he does, few men mastered their sword like him. Guru Gobind Singh turned villagers into warriors, sent shivers up the spine of the army of Aurangzeb and set the foundation stone of the great Sikh empire. The Sacred Sword is a historical fiction based on his life and legend.

Lacks Fierceness!

I’ve been dying to read about Sikh Gurus in English, this is the book to read out if you want to know about a part of Sikh History, About Sahib-e-Kamaal Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Who laid the foundation stone of Khalsa. Hardly, or I would say any mainstream authors who are mastered in Mythological and historical fictions has even touched it. Hindol has done his bit. The book starts with the brief introduction of Sikh Faith in the beginning and makes readers aware of 9 Gurus, the lineage and their...
