Description
The Sikh World is a comprehensive guide to the Sikh faith and culture, exploring its dynamic living experiences and geographical diversity. Written by a team of international contributors, this volume delves into the global Sikh community's practices, institutions, and traditions, as well as its interactions with the world around it. The book is organised into ten distinct sections, covering topics such as history, institutions, practices, global communities, and more. Interdisciplinary themes are explored, including intellectual history, art, literature, philosophy, and global interactions, all integrated with textual evidence and Sikh practice. This authoritative source provides a broad understanding of Sikhism, making it an essential read for students of Sikh studies, South Asian studies, and religious studies. This volume will be of interest to scholars and researchers in related fields, such as sociology, world philosophies, political science, anthropology, and ethics, as well as anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Sikh faith and its cultural significance.
