The Law of Inheritance to Chiefships: As Observed by the Sikhs Previous to the Annexation of the Panjab is a book written by Lepel Henry Griffin in 1869. The book provides a detailed account of the Sikh tradition of inheritance to chiefships, which was followed before the annexation of the Panjab. The author, who was a British colonial administrator and a scholar of Indian history and culture, provides a comprehensive analysis of the Sikh law of inheritance, which was based on the principles of primogeniture and agnatic succession. The book also explores the historical and cultural context in which the Sikh tradition of inheritance developed, and provides insights into the social, political, and economic factors that influenced it. The Law of Inheritance to Chiefships is a valuable resource for scholars of Sikh history and culture, as well as for those interested in the history of India and British colonialism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
