Book Description
Origin [!] of the Sikh Power in the Punjab, and Political Life of Muha-raja Runjeet Singh
Muslims under Sikh Rule in the Nineteenth Century
Author: Robina Yasmin
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0755640349
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
Though the history of Sikh-Muslim relations is fraught with conflict, this book examines how the policies of Sikh rulers attempted to avoid religious bigotry and prejudice at a time when Muslims were treated as third-class citizens. Focusing on the socio-economic, political and religious condition of Muslims under Sikh rule in the Punjab during the 19th century, this book demonstrates that Maharaja Ranjit Singh and his successors took a secular approach towards their subjects. Using various archival sources, including the Fakir Khana Family archives and the Punjab Archives, the author argues citizens had freedom to practice their religion, with equal access to employment, education and justice.
