This book is a major intervention in the understanding of the
dynamics of internal migration in South Asia. It traces the
historical roots of certain migrant Sikh communities to the south
and north-east India; chronicles their social, religious and
economic practices; and examines peculiar identity formations. This
first-of-its-kind empirical study examines the socio-economic
conditions of Sikhs in the Deccan and the North-East who are
believed to be the descendants of the soldiers in Maharaja Ranjit
Singh's army despatched to the two regions in the early nineteenth
century. It draws on extensive ethnographic accounts to present the
social realities of the different communities, including language,
religion, culture, occupation, caste, marriage and kinship, and
agency. It also questions the idea of Sikh homogeneity that many
within the community have come to believe in, while revealing both
differences and similarities. The book will be of great interest to
scholars and researchers of sociology and social anthropology,
migration and diaspora studies, religion, especially Sikh studies,
cultural studies, as well as the Sikh diaspora worldwide.
