They come to prominence for reasons which are historical, dynastic, commercial and several other unclassifiable reasons. In terms of our own country, one can immediately think of Taxila and Patliputra. Thinking of the rest of world, one thinks of Jerusalem and the Vatican. The explanation is simple. Religions are not exposed to the same hazards as cities are. To be associated with a religion, therefore, is to ensure almost that the city will survive and , indeed, with the passage of time become more and more important.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Founder\u003cbr\u003eThe Harimandir\u003cbr\u003eThe Installation of Holy Granth Sahib in the Harimandir\u003cbr\u003eThe Akal Takht\u003cbr\u003eHeroic Tradition\u003cbr\u003eCity with a Hallowed Personality\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAppendix I\u003cbr\u003eAppendix II\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Fauja Singh \/ Punjabi University \/ Hardcover","offer_id":40776258355369,"sku":"11862","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/11862_6ecdf6cc-d173-4139-98fc-faaae347821c.jpg?v=1625514166"},{"product_id":"11933-the-context-of-ethnicity-sikh-identity-in-a-comparative-perspective","title":"The context of Ethnicity - Sikh Identity in a Comparative Perspective","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Dipankar Gupta\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2002\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 241\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): 0195643917\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work questions the widely held conceptualization of nation-states and ascriptive identities, through a study of Sikh extremism in the Punjab. The author argues that contrary to popular opinion, regional sympathies can co-exist with nationalist loyalty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book the author maintains that viewing ethnic conflict in terms of cultural exclusiveness and intolerance prevents us from comprehending how friends and enemies switch sides radically even within a relatively short span of time. Ethnic identities are not fixed and permanent, but dynamic and have to be located within specific sociological co-ordinates. To this end, Dipankar Gupta uses ethnographic material relating primarily to the Punjab problem, with comparative references to the Shiv Sena movement, on which has he done considerable work. He argues for a triadic framework where the interaction between warring dyads is contextualised by the thematics of the nation-state.

He lays emphasis on universal humanism of Guru Nanak, striking at Varnashramdharma, with inbuilt inequalities of Brahminism.

It reflects upon issues of Sikh identity and self-representation, analysing the ways and contexts in which Sikh religion, culture, and politics are actively produced and reproduced in multiple sites around the world. It also examines the intersection of multiculturalism and transnationalism, highlighting the ways in which diasporan Sikhs have experienced and dealt with nation-state ideologies, policies and practices of religious and ethnic management, as well as the shared perceptions of themselves by others in their countries of residence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuestioning the unreflective use of the term ‘diaspora’, this volume invites consideration of the multiple sources and alternative narratives of Sikh identity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReviews:\u003cbr\u003e‘… an excellent contribution to narrowing that gap.

They struggled for greater share in the revenues and in political power over the region, ultimately aiming to establish sovereignty in the different parts of the subahs of Punjab and Delhi.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe most significant feature of the Sikh history during the course of 17th and the 18th centuries is that the 'Sikh' Community\/Nanak Panth which transformed the Sikhs, not only into a political force but a force to reckon with.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this monograph an attempt has been made to give a critical assessment of life and achievements of Banda Singh Bahadur as well as an account of his struggle, as a leader of the Sikhs, against the Mughals. Within a period of eight years after the death of Guru Gobind Singh in 1708, Banda Singh Bahadur was able to rouse the peasantry in the Majiha and Malwa areas to take up arms and successfully shook the very foundations of the Mughal Empire. Due to his generosity and spiritual appeal, he had no dearth of recruits. By 1710, Banda Bahadur had virtually become master of the territory worth about 36 lakhs of rupees per annum. He made his own 'faujdars, diwans and kardars'. He adopted Mukhlispur, an imperial fort now given the name of Lohgarh, as his headquarter. To celebrate his successful capture of Sirhind in 1710, he not only introduced a new calendar from that date, he even struck coins in the name of Guru Nanak and Guru Gobind Singh. Even though Banda Singh Bahadur's political career was short lived, as he was executed in June 1716 (near the tomb of Sheikh Qutbuddin Bhaktyar Kaki close to the Qutab Minar), his armed struggle had spread over the Malwa and the 'Majiha' territories. The Mughal emperor ordered a general mobilization of all his forces in Delhi, Awadh and other neighboring areas and called for \"a Jihad against the Sikhs.\" However, this goes without saying that Banda's struggle was political and agrarian in character which had exposed the feebleness of the Mughal administration and the discontentment of the peasants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author has emphasized that Banda Singh Bahadur had the acumen to plan and the ability to execute.

The essence of the teachings of the Gurus was the unity of God and the Brotherhood of man. We find in them an unbroken thread of the ideals of selfless service, love for mankind, humility, equality, fraternity and honest endeavour. The quality of men is their sheet-anchor. To give a practical shape to these ideals, the Gurus established and developed the institutions of Sangat and Pangat. The process of development of these institutions continued gradually until Guru Hargobind brought about a transformation by giving a militant turn to the movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe most dramatic development was Guru Gobind Singh’s creation of the Khalsa brotherhood through a novel system of baptism. Another feature of this transformation was the bridging of the gulf between the Guru and the disciple. What impressed the masses was not only the Guru’s complete identification with the common man but also his condescending to kneel down before his disciples to receive baptism from them-a unique and unheard of incident in the history of mankind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author convincingly establishes the democratic character of the ideals and institutions of Sikhism.
