ਸੂਰਬੀਰ (Sirdar Jassa Singh Ramgarhia With S. Gurdev Singh Rooprai) (Punjabi)
Description
Sirdar Jassa Singh Ramgarhia (1723-1803) was the founder and most prominent leader of the legendary Ramgarhia Misl, one of the 11 Sikh confederacies that comprised the theocratic Dal Khalsa government.
Famed for his realpolitik and strategic acumen, the Ramgarhia Sirdar was instrumental in leading the Panth through some of its darkest days during the genocidal era of the mid-late 18th century.
His vision, much like that of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur before him, conflicted with that of his fellow Sirdars sparking heavy discord. After the fall of the Misls, Ramgarhia's image was unnecessarily attacked and vilified by detractors envious of his unprecedented success.
We are joined by eminent researcher S. Gurdev Singh Rooprai in dispelling the allegations against Ramgarhia. S. Rooprai traces the genesis of these unfounded allegations and exposes the entrenched hatred of pristine Sikh history among those who slander Jassa Singh Ramgarhia.
