The fertile land of the Punjab watered by the five great tributaries of the Indus had a high culture over two thousand years before Christ, which spread down the lower course of the Indus as far as the sea. The history of its people is full of colour, thrill and excitement; of gallant deeds and sublime performance. It has, perhaps, witnessed more invasions than any other part of the world, absorbed more racial strains than any other region and more ideas have taken birth in the bosom of this land than elsewhere.
The main purpose of this book is to discuss the land and the people of Punjab, both in the course of its development over the years and its present-day manifestations. This is certainly its great merit which makes the book interesting and stimulating for it gives food for thought and discussion. The author has undertaken this study after thorough and original research and presented even complicated problems with clarity of thought and expression and with effortless ease and grace. What makes the book so valuable is the fact that he is objective in his treatment, for the simple reason that it is the detached objectivity which is so essential for an author. This book has been brought out after many years of research to fulfil a long-standing need of the readers to have a detailed account of the Punjab, not hitherto available in one place anywhere else. The discussion is scholarly, incisive and lucid, and the book is extremely readable.
