Baba Banda Singh Bahadur: The Sword of Justice is a powerful historical account of one of the most fearless revolutionaries in Indian history-a saint-soldier who transformed faith into resistance and sacrifice into sovereignty.
Born as Lachman Dev, Banda Singh Bahadur's life changed forever after his meeting with Guru Gobind Singh. Entrusted with a sacred mission, he rose against Mughal tyranny, shattered centuries-old feudal oppression, and established the first Khalsa rule in Punjab. Through decisive battles such as Samana and Sirhind, he delivered justice where cruelty had ruled, empowering peasants, redistributing land, and minting coins in the name of Guru Nanak-acts that redefined political and spiritual authority.
This book presents a deeply researched narrative of his military campaigns, governance, social reforms, and the ideological conflicts within the Sikh Panth, including the Bandai Sikhs and Tat Khalsa divide. It also examines the brutal Mughal retaliation, Banda Singh Bahadur's capture, and his unparalleled martyrdom in Delhi, where he chose faith over submission.
Blending history, philosophy, and moral inquiry, this work portrays Banda Singh Bahadur not merely as a warrior, but as a symbol of justice, courage, and uncompromising truth-whose legacy continues to inspire generations.
