Master Tara Singh stood like a Colossus among the stalwarts of the mainstream Sikh political party Shiromani Akali Dal during the first six decades of twentieth century. He guided Sikh politics and led most of the Akali agitations. This volume gives a biographical account of this veteran Akali leader and the entire spectrum of his political life. The account, despite being factual about major events, is somewhat subjective. It lacks critical evaluation of the total contribution of his protagonist and smacks of slight hero worship. The Punjabi prose is simple, readable without any literary insights[edit]
