Coming soon, HistoryMilitary History Of The Sikhs : From The Battle Of Bhangani To The World War II By by Jashandeep Singh Kang (Author), Col. Daljeet Singh Cheema (Hardcover)
“Military History of the Sikhs: From Battle of Bhangani to the World War II” highlights the militarization of Sikhs over a period of three centuries. Starting from the wars of Guru Gobind Singh during the pre-Khalsa phase, the book covers the Sikh inferno under Banda Singh Bahadur. Subsequently, the war tactics of Sikhs during the dark phase of persecution, coupled with effective blitzkrieg strategies, led to the generation of a military potential, which was sufficient to dishevel the forces of a renowned Durrani soldier Ahmad Shah Abdali. Also encompassed is the rise and fall of the Sikh Misls, along with the lesser talked about Sikh battles, against Marathas and Rohillas. Thereafter, a glorious empire was established from Khyber to Aksai Chin under the remarkable leadership of Maharaja Ranjit Singh through his outstanding Generals like Hari Singh Nalwa, Akali Phoola Singh, etc and later the Khalsa flag even flew in the snowfields of Tibet under the generalship of Zorawar Singh.

One of Ours
One Of Ours is a book written by Willa Cather, who later received the 1923 Pulitzer Prize. In One of Ours, Cather brings World War I to the heartland of Nebraska and sensitively guides the reader through the highs and lows experienced by a young man who is already enjoying what is perhaps his life’s greatest triumphs. But, One of Ours is not a tale of battle. Instead, it’s just another excellent examination of the most fundamental aspirations, phobias, and concerns of travellers. This is an emotional tale of purposelessness and human restlessness. At the turn of the century, Claude Wheeler was born in Nebraska to a wealthy agricultural family. Claude, who is unsatisfied with his job and his wife, finds fulfilment while serving in France during World War I. How will Claude survive during the War? What will happen to Claude’s family? To read this amazing collection of ideas based on sacrifices and life, readers should go through the book!
