From The Frontcover Of 'Religious History Of Early Medieval Punjab' By Sukhninder Kaur Dhillon 

Religious History of Early Medieval Punjab is an entirely fascinating account of just such a moment in history where three of the world's major religions vied with each other for supremacy in the Indian mind. A host of minor religions, sects and cults in addition have made Punjab of the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th centuries the ideal region for exactly this kind of exploratory work.

Sukhninder Kaur's tracing of the evolution, growth and decline of different faiths in the Punjab covers Buddhism, Jainism, Vaisnavism and Saivism, Saktism, Tantra and Islam, a wounderful instance of a civilisation actively in search of unity with the Absolute.

The historical personages connected with the religions in North India are in themselves interesting reading material.
