Book Description
So many Sikh youths and men and women are born and raised outside India who don't know the Punjabi language. But almost the Sikh writings by the Punjabi language. If you are interested in Sikh, then this book is for you. The Sikhs are deeply devoted to their faith and they want this devotion to be developed in their children and grandchildren. Sikhism originated in Punjab, but many Sikhs have migrated to other parts of the world. As a result, there are thousands and thousands (if not a million) of Sikh youths and men and women who are born and raised outside India. Practically, all of these Sikhs do not know or understand the Punjabi language, but most of the Sikh writings and their worship services are carried out in the Punjabi language. This book is also for them. Furthermore, all these Sikhs live in Christian or Muslim environments, and these two religions are very hostile to other religions. This book is also written in such a way that Sikh people can stay steadfast in their faith in these two environments.

Book Description
Sikhism's short but relatively eventful history provides a fascinating insight into the working of misunderstood and seemingly contradictory themes such as politics and religion, violence and mysticism, culture and spirituality, orality and textuality, public sphere versus private sphere, tradition and modernity. This book presents students with a careful analysis of these complex themes as they have manifested themselves in the historical evolution of the Sikh traditions and the encounter of Sikhs with modernity and the West, in the philosophical teachings of its founders and their interpretation by Sikh exegetes, and in Sikh ethical and intellectual responses to contemporary issues in an increasingly secular and pluralistic world. Sikhism: A Guide for the Perplexed serves as an ideal guide to Sikhism, and also for students of Asian studies, Sociology of Religion and World Religions.

Book Description
Contrary to popular opinion, there is more to Sikhism than the distinctive dress. First of all, there is the emergence of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, and the long line of his successors. There are the precepts, many related to liberation through the divine name or nam. There is a particularly turbulent history in which the Sikhs have fought to affirm their beliefs and resist external domination that continues to this day. There is also, more recently, the dispersion from the Punjab throughout the rest of India and on to Europe and the Americas. With this emigration Sikhism has become considerably less exotic, but hardly better known to outsiders. This reference is an excellent place to learn more about the religion. It provides a chronology of events, a brief introduction that gives a general overview of the religion, and a dictionary with several hundred entries, which present the gurus and other leaders, trace the rather complex history, expound some of the precepts and concepts, describe many of the rites and rituals, and explain the meaning of numerous related expressions. All this, along with a bibliography, provides readers with an informative and accessible guide toward understanding Sikhism.
