The Battle of Chamkaur
This is a fictionalised account of the battle of Chamkaur which was fought in 1704 CE by 40 Sikhs against
an army of 1 million. The story will be based upon real historical accounts contained mostly in the Sooraj
Parkash by the great poet Bhai Santokh Singh Jee. The account has been fictionalised to allow for the
creation of a new narrative, that brings in different perspectives of the battle.
The fictional character that has been created is General Ali Khan whose eyes narrate the whole battle. All
that happens with this General (personally) has been created through my imagination but all that he sees
is from historical sources. Purists of history will not like this account and they should turn away and read
Sooraj Parkash or listen to accounts from that or other historical sources – but generally information and
detail is scant even in these historical sources.
This account has been written to inspire and inform us of this glorious history. It is in no way intended to
dilute the actual history of the battle.
