This volume offers a comprehensive overview of Sikhism, which
originated in India's Punjab region five hundred years ago. As the
numbers of Sikhs settling outside of India continues to grow, it is
necessary to examine this religion both in its Indian context and
as an increasingly global tradition. While acknowledging the
centrality of history and text in understanding the main tenets of
Sikhism, Doris Jakobsh highlights the religion's origins and
development as a living spiritual tradition in communities around
the world. She pays careful attention to particular events,
movements, and individuals that have contributed to important
changes within the tradition and challenges stereotypical notions
of Sikh homogeneity and stasis, addressing the plurality of
identities within the Sikh tradition, both historically and within
the contemporary milieu. Extensive attention is paid to the role of
women as well as the dominant social and kinship structures
undergirding Punjabi Sikh society, many of which have been widely
transplanted through Sikh migration. The migration patterns are
themselves examined, with particular focus on Sikh communities in
the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. Finally, the volume concludes with a
brief exploration of Sikhs and the Internet and the future of
Sikhism.
