abcWhen I received an invitation to the launch of The Last Sunset: Rise and Fall of the Lahore Durbar by Amarinder Singh (Roli Books), I wondered who this new historian of the Sikhs was. It could not be the scion of the Patiala ruling family and ex-Chief Minister of Punjab because he usually added the honorific Captain to his name. Besides that, he was so deeply embroiled in Punjab's messy politics that he could not have had the time to carry out a research and write a 347-page book. My doubts were set at rest the following day when Capt Amarinder Singh, accompanied by a very pretty girl - I presumed his daughter - and publisher Pramod Kapoor dropped in with a copy of the book. test
