More about History than the actual beliefs

Overall I still found it very informative, to how Sikhism became what it is today, but the book was more oriented towards the history of Sikhism than I had expected. I was originally looking to find what the beliefs and practices of Sikhism were, which this partially achieved.

Great Overview of Sikh History 👳

Sikhism has such a lack of publicity, but it's such a wonderful & fascinating religion!

I learned a lot about Sikhism - especially the history - from this audiobook. I liked the scholarly tone. I also appreciated that there were plenty of excerpts from Sikh sacred texts.
