This is a new edition of Dr. Webster's, The Nirankari Sikhs (1979),
which has been recognized as 'single most important work on the
history of Baba Dayal and his successors'. It updates the earlier
edition not only by dealing with the past forty years of Nirankari
history but also by taking into account subsequent scholarship on
the history of Sikhism, especially during the first half of the
nineteenth century. Further, it also provides two additional
primary sources of nineteenth century Nirankari history along with
the nine included in the earlier edition. This new edition will be
of value not only to those scholars interested in Nirankari history
but also to those seeking a fuller understanding of the evolution
of Sikh identity since the nineteenth century. Sikh identity has
been a major issue for Nirankaris in recent decades because they
have been confused with the Sant Nirankari Mandal which makes no
claims to a Sikh identity. Nirankaris, like other Sikhs, base their
beliefs and practices upon the Guru Granth Sahib and revere the ten
Sikh gurus. For this reason they view themselves, and are
considered by other Sikhs, to be minority group within Sikhism.
They are distinguished from other Sikhs, most obviously in not
fully embracing the Khalsa tradition of the Sikhs and in having a
continuing hereditary line of human gurus. How such similarities
and differences have affected their own, and the very nature of,
Sikh identity over the past two centuries is an important part of
this history. Please note: Taylor & Francis does not sell or
distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan,
Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
