Description
Violence and the Sikhs challenges traditional views of Sikhism by re-examining its relationship with violence. This Element explores the complex connections between spirituality, sovereignty, and the state in Sikh history. By examining primary sources of Sikh literature, Mandair reveals competing logics of violence that complicate our understanding of the connection between faith and conflict. This nuanced approach sheds new light on familiar themes such as martyrdom, martial ideology, warfare, and colonial conflicts within the Sikh context. This Element offers a fresh perspective on interpreting events of 'religious violence' by cultivating a non-oppositional understanding of spirituality and violence.
