Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha Library Punjabi University Patiala

The book "Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha Library" by Dinesh Kumar offers a deep insight into the life and achievements of Bhai Kahn Singh, a prominent scholar and encyclopedist of the 19th century. Born into a Jatt family, Kahn Singh gained remarkable knowledge in various fields without receiving formal education. His self-taught abilities allowed him to recite both the Guru Granth Sahib and the Dasam Granth from memory at the age of just ten. The book highlights his studies in Sanskrit and Persian, as well as his role as a tutor for the heir to the throne of the Nabha state. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of Punjab, as well as the development of Sikh scholarship.
