The Valiant Ones: A Journey Into The Mesmerizing World Of The Sikhs (English) By: Gurbir Singh and Gagandeep Kaur

The journey begins, unraveling the mystique of the enigmatic Sikhs – their principles, traditions, and lifestyle. Initiated by the sword, guided by the Guru’s Word, these saint soldiers march to a different drummer.

Authored by Gurbir Singh and Gagandeep Kaur, this 156-page coffee table book offers an attractive visual and print journey to capture the lives of a people who are fast fading away, their way of life, culture, language, and valor being gobbled by a single word called ‘modernism’.

The term 'Nihang', according to the authors, could be from Persian, meaning alligator or sword. However, it could also be a derivative of the Sanskrit word Nihsanka meaning fearless or carefree.

The book also gives accounts about the origin of the dress-code of the Nihangs, one of them being attributed to the son of the Tenth Master - Baba Fateh Singh. The authors claim that Baba Fateh Singh had once appeared in front of his father dressed in a blue Chola, a line girdle fastened around his waist and a large blue turban with a farla which had enticed Guru Gobind Singh to comment, "It is a dress fit for Akalis, the Soldiers of God!"

The book also provides a perfect recipe of shardai, should someone want to use it for spicing up Holi.
