Description

The papers included in this volume were read and discussed in seminars recently held at the Toronto and other Universities. They removed much of the misconceptions which shrouded the vision of the baffled scholars.

The basic issues pertaining to the growth of Sikh consciousness, temporal and spiritual, Sikh peculiarities and above all the historical compulsions which motivated the search for Sikh identity, have all been objectively argued and analyzed, of course with sympathetic consideration for other religious traditions.

This book of considerable merit will be of immense use for the students and scholars of religion and history.
