Preface For working on and analyzing the poetics of Dasam Granth, I have found suitable amongst all available versions and worthy for my present study, the one veted by sodhak committee constituted by Sri Akaal Takht Sahib in sammat 1952 Bikarmi. It was published by Bhai Jawahar Singh, Kirpal Singh and Co. Bazar Mai Sewan, Amritsar, in Sammat 2024 Bikarmi.

About the Author Dr. Darshan Singh (born 1938) started his career as a Lecturer in Government College Ludhiana, then Khalsa College Amritsar. In 1967, he joined Punjabi Department of the Panjab University Chandigarh. In 1984, he became Professor and Chairman of Guru Nanak Sikh Studies Department. In 2005 he was appointed Professor Emeritus by the P.U. Chandigarh. He is the first Sikh to receive this honour.

Before 1984, Sikh Studies meant something about Sikh religion, philosophy, history and politics. On joining the Guru Nanak Chair, Dr. Darshan Singh diversified the area of Sikh Studies like Sikh model of economics, cosmology, ecology, music, art, architecture, sociology, culture, linguistics etc in addition to earlier explored areas.

Dr. Darshan Singh wrote and lectured extensively in India and abroad to get this area accepted as an academic area, a new dimension. Luckily, this endeavour proved a success and its results are visible as this area is now under research all over the world in different universities and the other institutions.
