Remembering 'Father of Sikh Encyclopedia' — Prof Harbans Singh : The Tribune India


Rupinder Singh Brar
Popular perceptions being what they are, scholarship is not something that comes easily to mind when one considers the Sikh community. Yet, the community has produced some notable historians who not only left behind rich literary legacies, but exemplified in their personal lives what it meant to be a scholar sage.
