Reviews

A superb multi-dimensional introduction to Sikh thought and practice... this brief yet thorough work on one of India's most important religious groups should be found in every library. -- Choice. It is an important book and there is nothing like it in the field. I have used it on my own courses on Sikhism in Columbia and students enjoyed reading it. -- Professor Gurinder Singh Mann.
