The Evolution of the Sikh Community


Book Description

Sikh history has traditionally been regarded as a paradox. Beginning in the early sixteenth century as a system of internal devotion. Sikhism emerges into prominence during the eighteenth century as a clearly defined belief laying powerful stress upon external symbols. In a series of five essays this book examines Sikh history, scriptures, and society, seeking to show that the evolution of the community during the last 500 years has been a direct response to circumstances in the Punjab.

Textual Sources for the Study of Sikhism


Book Description

"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
