Synopsis The book is a fascinating and revealing study of the relationship between the Nehru family and the Sikhs and their contribution to the national cause during the freedom struggle and post-independence period. The book highlights Nehru family’s concern for the Sikh community spread over four generations and is a plea for the promotion of secular and composite culture so dearly cherished both by the Nehrus and the Sikhs. The publication of this book is particularly relevant at the present juncture when certain crucial issues about the role of the Sikhs in the larger national context are occupying the minds of the people.
