This book was originally written in Punjabi in February 1986 and the last 9th edition was published in April/2013. This speaks volumes of its wide acceptance by the readers all over the world. The Sikhs have acclaimed it as the tragic biography of the modern times. The attack on Darbar Sahib in 1984 was the watershed in the history of the Sikh Psyche. This prompted the author of the book to record this eventful history as seen with his own eyes and lived through it.
