Foreword To 'High Roads Of Sikh History Book-II' By Principal Teja Singh

A few years back, the Punjabi University decided to reprint some of the old books of the great Punjabi writers. In pursuance of our policy we have already published some of these works. The writers include Professor Puran Singh, Bhai Vir Singh, Professor Teja Singh, Lala Dhani Ram Chatrik, Bhai Mohan Vaid and Sardar Harinder Singh Roop.

The present series of the booklet entitled "Highroads of Sikh History", originally written by the late Professor Teja Singh, is in three parts. Part I contains 15 episodes from Sikh history;  Part II gives character-sketches of some important personalities of Sikh history; and Part III presents a brief history of Sikhism.

These booklets are as much needed by our young men and women now as these were two generations ago. But, despite their usefulness and demand they had been out of print. The University acquired copyrights and decided to publish them. The books are written in a simple language and can be easily understood by schoolboys. There is a great dearth of this type of literature in Punjab, and its hoped that this series would be a welcome addition to the literature needed for moral and religious instruction of our young people.
