"18th century is full of gaps in Sikh history and for modern readers, 'The Hawk Hunters' puts into perspective the tyranny wrought by invading Mughals on the people of north India, and how the Sikhs parried their attacks, stood as fearless warriors to save the women they tried to take back with them for their harems. This historical fiction fills in many unknown facets of Sikh history."
