Summary

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, tradition and modernity. Sikhism: A Guide for the Perplexedwill present 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.
