Travels In Kashmir And The Panjab: Containing A Particular Account Of The Government And Character Of The Sikhs

About the Book : -In this both the volumes of the book, the author has discussed the history of the Punjab and Kashmir from the earliest times. It also contains the government, administration and character of the Sikhs. He also throws light on different aspects of the states, their ancient history and a brief account of socio-political aspects of these two important states. Independent of the entertainment which is derived, by readers of every age, from the varied incidents of personal adventure and foreign travel, the appearance of a work thus recommended, is calculated at the present moment to throw great light on the important question which now occupies the public mind, as to the proper line of policy to be pursued by the Government of India, in relation to the Panjab; arid although the principal personages in the scenes, so strikingly depicted in the author’s progress, have been swept away by the hand of death, or the murderous contests for supremacy which have followed each other in quick succession, the country itself and its prominent features, which, in a military point of view, are of primary consideration—the circumstances and constitution, the habits and peculiar character of the mixed population subject to Sikh rule, are still the same, unaffected as to any ulterior purpose by the numerous political changes which have occurred since the death of Ranjit Singh.
