There's many books on Amazon. Just search for them. Easy peasy. 

I vaguely recall a book was released a few years ago on Sikh art in the times of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Might be worth a look.

That would be this book, i bought it way back in late 90s frm the V&A museum, great great book!

Can I get Jagjit Singh's book on the Ghadar movement online (the English translation)?  

I am unsure as to that. Its a fantastic read though. It was commissioned by the Ghadarites themselves to dispel the nationalist myth that they were Marxist or pro Hindu Sabha (Arya Samaj and co).

The title's a bit on the nose, isn't it? Doesn't leave much to the imagination. When red-pilling a sleeping or a openly resistant population, or when trying to introduce ideas and concepts that run contrary to the official narrative, you can't barge in all guns blazing. You've got to do it softly softly. Saying that, it could be a good book. 

Dilgeer is a notorious turncoat and academically subjective i.e. his opinion is supposed to be God's own.

That's the one I was referring to. I recall a few of you guys saying it's an excellent book.

I think there's another one, too. There's a book that has a front cover showing Maharaja Ranjit Singh having his portrait painted at Darbar Sahib. I'm certain that book exists.

I read it. I don't think it was half as bad as it was made out to be in this respect.

Found this by Jagjit Singh, I loved his other works which focused on the revolutionary aspects of the Sikh movement, with strong rebuttals of McLeodian ideas:

Dilgeer is not only subjective but an out right liar especially in regards to Dasam Bani. 

This video exposes one such lie of Dilgeer.

This man has no morals when he can lie so much.
