Abstract
Gurū Panth Prakāsh, finalized by Ratan Singh Bhangu in 1841, deals with the true source of Sikh sovereignty. Bhangu links the issue of sovereignty with the creation of the Khalsa, indicating that the Khalsa never submitted to the Mughals. Bhangu talks about how the Sikhs became Singhs, who then began to plunder the villages around Anandpur and joined forces with Guru Gobind Singh before the battle of Muktsar. Bhangu also gives much importance to the time of Banda Bahadur, whose followers were bound to go down before the Tat Khalsa. For Bhangu, the most important aspect of the Sikh tradition was, in a sense, martyrdom. Bhagu explicitly refers to the Khalsa as the third panth, with a distinct identity of their own in relation to Hindus.
