A very interesting book, whose very title will make
lots of people squirm, is "The Vedic Harappans"
by Bhagwan Singh. It is a massive treatise, and
an important book for anyone interested in the
subject of Western scholarship on South Asia.

The sword of the central Doctrine of Nanak destroys the evils of both
the worlds, the poverty and slavery on this earth, and the sickness of
the soul hereafter, and we hereby proclaim our sovereignity over both
the worlds, the seen and the unseen. The final victory in our struggle
has been vouchsafed by Guru Gobind Singh, the Harbinger of the good
tidings of the ever present Grace of God.
--Inscription from a Sikh coin struck by Banda Singh Bahadur in 1710
