The whole world is acquainted with the energetic and enterprising Sikhs because of their unique philosophy and distinct appearance. A Sikh is any person whose faith is in one God, the ten Gurus and their teachings as enshrined in the Adi Granth. He must live his life from birth to death according to the Sikh faith. It is the ideal Sikh character that makes them better individuals. The people love the Sikhs and their faith as the saviours of the women, down trodden and the protectors of human rights. A study of the Sikh ideal of life as prescribed by the Gurus and practiced both in letter and spirit by their followers since 1449 A.D. is the main theme of the book. The study further aims at providing knowledge of the glorious deeds of the Sikhs till date.

The book has been decorated with numerous coloured photographs and plates depicting rich heritage of the Sikhs which will immensely help scholars and historians to understand Sikh history in a lively way.
