This book helps as a religious teacher preaching the fundamental, learnings, basic beliefs and understanding of the sikh faith. It is a simple and primary book that teaches our young generation and beginners about The Sikh Religion. All One Must Know About The Sikh Faith Every generation is the trustee of its culture and heritage for future generations who become its custodians. Teachings of a faith of love, peace, Oneness of God and universal brotherhood founded by Guru Nanak, and carried forward by his nine followers, are the most valuable heritage of the Sikhs. Identity and unshaken faith of the present generation of Sikhs is, perhaps, the last link between the ones who value and respect its heritage and take pride in being born a Sikh and the new crop that seem to be getting lost in search of it. Despite the orthodoxy and rigidity that holds Sikhism back; Sikhs have excelled in all aspects of human endeavour and are acknowledged as uniquely courageous people working towards the upliftment of humanity and their contribution is extraordinary considering their small number. The youth in India and abroad are ignorant of the glorious past of the Sikh faith, what it stands for and what it can teach the world. For example, most of them may not be aware of the importance of the five Takhats, Amrit- vela, Daswandh, Chaali Mukte and Nishan Sahib et al in Sikh history. The knowledgeable must help the new generations understand all such aspects in correct historical perspective. The book in your hands is a humble effort in that direction.

"McLeod is a renowned scholar of Sikhism. . . . [This book] confirms my view that there is nothing about the Sikhs or their religion that McLeod does not know and there is no one who can put it across with as much clarity and brevity as he can. In his latest work he has compressed in under 150 pages the principal sources of the Sikh religion, the Khalsa tradition and the beliefs of breakaway sects like the Nirankaris and Namdharis. . . . As often happens, an outsider has sharper insight into the workings of a community than insiders whose visions are perforce restricted."—Khushwant Singh, Hindustan Times

The ethnic and religious violence that characterized the late twentieth century calls for new ways of thinking and writing about politics. Listening to the voices of people who experience political violence—either as victims or as perpetrators—gives new insights into both the sources of violent conflict and the potential for its resolution. Drawing on her extensive interviews and conversations with Sikh militants, Cynthia Keppley Mahmood presents their accounts of the human rights abuses inflicted on them by the state of India as well as their explanations of the philosophical tradition of martyrdom and meaningful death in the Sikh faith. While demonstrating how divergent the world views of participants in a conflict can be, Fighting for Faith and Nation gives reason to hope that our essential common humanity may provide grounds for a pragmatic resolution of conflicts such as the one in Punjab which has claimed tens of thousands of lives in the past fifteen years.

Arguing that intellectual movements, such as deconstruction, postsecular theory, and political theology, have different implications for cultures and societies that live with the debilitating effects of past imperialisms, Arvind Mandair unsettles the politics of knowledge construction in which the category of "religion" continues to be central. Through a case study of Sikhism, he launches an extended critique of religion as a cultural universal. At the same time, he presents a portrait of how certain aspects of Sikh tradition were reinvented as "religion" during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. India's imperial elite subtly recast Sikh tradition as a sui generis religion, which robbed its teachings of their political force. In turn, Sikhs began to define themselves as a "nation" and a "world religion" that was separate from, but parallel to, the rise of the Indian state and global Hinduism. Rather than investigate these processes in isolation from Europe, Mandair shifts the focus closer to the political history of ideas, thereby recovering part of Europe's repressed colonial memory. Mandair rethinks the intersection of religion and the secular in discourses such as history of religions, postcolonial theory, and recent continental philosophy. Though seemingly unconnected, these discourses are shown to be linked to a philosophy of "generalized translation" that emerged as a key conceptual matrix in the colonial encounter between India and the West. In this riveting study, Mandair demonstrates how this philosophy of translation continues to influence the repetitions of religion and identity politics in the lives of South Asians, and the way the academy, state, and media have analyzed such phenomena.
