Publisher's Synopsis
Zafarnama, or "Epistle of Victory," is a remarkable work of Persian literature written by the renowned Sikh guru, Guru Gobind Singh. Originally written in Persian, Zafarnama is a poetic letter addressed to the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, written in the aftermath of a fierce battle between the Sikhs and the Mughals. In this powerful letter, Guru Gobind Singh passionately defends the principles of justice, equality, and religious freedom, and chastises Aurangzeb for his brutal treatment of the Sikh community. Through vivid and emotive language, the Guru makes a compelling case for the righteousness of the Sikh cause and the unjustness of Aurangzeb's actions. This English translation of Zafarnama provides readers with a rare glimpse into the mind of one of India's most revered spiritual leaders. It is a work that speaks not only to the Sikh community but to all those who value the principles of justice, tolerance, and compassion. With its stirring poetry and compelling message, Zafarnama is a literary treasure that has inspired generations of readers and continues to resonate with readers today.
