First published in 1898, the book was registered under this title in the Punjab Gazette on June 30, "1899," at number 447.

Subject and needโ€”โ€”to writeโ€ป

When there were a lot of misconceptions and questions raised upon the Different identity of Sikh Religion and it being sect of Hindu Religion, Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha wrote this book in order to clarify and answer those misconceptions and questions. The book was principally written as a response to a provocative book published by Thakur Das, a Sanatan Sikh, titled Sikh Hindu Hain (โ€œSikhs Are Hindusโ€). In this book, the writer discusses about the differences in between the beliefs of Hindu faith and the Sikh faith in depth along with the letters which writer received from various Sikh Scholars and Prominent Sikh Shrines, in favor of this book. The book gives deep analysis along with references to religious texts and Historical incidents.
