Description
Sikh religion though only about 500 years old is today recognized as one of the five major religions of the world. The book attempts to discuss briefly but comprehensively all the aspects of Sikh religion, history and literature. Beginning with a small section on the distinct salient features of Sikh faith, it takes up, in different sections, Sikh history ( from the Guru-period till the present times), some sampradais and renaissance movements in the Sikh tradition, the Sikh canon, meta-physical thought, social thought, polity and the Sikh response to some of the important issues facing humankind today. The book should be much interest and value to the students and teachers of Sikh religion as well as to lay readers.
