Purnima Dhavan examines the creation of the Khalsa Sikh warrior tradition during the eighteenth century. By focusing on the experiences of long-overlooked peasant communities, she reveals how a dynamic process of debates, collaboration, and conflict transformed Sikh practices and shaped a new martial culture.
