The Project

Empires and outlaws, saints and soldiers, and the people history left out.

Sikh Lore retells the untold history of the Sikhs and Punjab: empire and resistance, faith and defiance, the famous and the forgotten.

Every story is short, richly illustrated, and carefully sourced. Sikh or not, curious is enough. Press play, and a piece of history you were never taught comes to life.
