Banda Singh Bahadur was one of most remarkable person in the 18th century. He was a great warrior who established the first Sikh raj in Punjab. He was a baptised Sikh and follower of tenth Guru of Gobind Singh. Within a short span of time he established the Khalsa Republic with his own seal, struck own coin with the grace of Guru Nanak and Guru Gobind Singh. Historians have not done justice to Banda Singh Bahadur. Muslims historians like, Khafi Khan, Muhammad Safi Warid etc. has been written about Banda Singh Bahadur with pro-Islamic prejudices. But the some Punjabi writers also has been written about him with jealous feel of his ancesters Bhangu Rattan Singh author of prachin panth parkash is an example of this his work is considered one of the main source of information on 18th century history of Sikhs. It is, therefore, necessary to find out the cause of apathy and indifference of the Sikhs towards this great hero in prachin panth prakash.
