This book focuses on Sikh communities in east and northeast India.
It studies settlements in Bihar, Odisha, West Bengal, Assam,
Meghalaya, and Manipur to understand the Indian Sikhs through the
lens of their dispersal to the plains and hills far from Punjab.
Drawing on robust historical and ethnographic sources such as
official documents, media accounts, memoirs, and reports produced
by local Sikh institutions, the author studies the social
composition of the immigrants and surveys the extent of their
success in retaining their community identity and recreating their
memories of home at their new locations. He uses a nuanced notion
of the internal diaspora to look at the complex relationships
between home, host, and community. As an important addition to the
study of Sikhism, this book fills a significant gap and widens the
frontiers of Sikh studies. It will be indispensable for students
and researchers of sociology and social anthropology, history,
migration and diaspora studies, religion, especially Sikh studies,
cultural studies, as well as the Sikh diaspora worldwide.
