I read this book last year and it is a very good informative book about the Sikh religion,Sikhism and Sikh culture/people.
It can be used as a book for Anthropology too.
It encompasses history of the Sikhs,cultures,beliefs and important events in Punjab,Khalistan movt,Bhindranwale/Op Bluestar and 1984 anti Sikh riots engineered by India's 'leftist' Socialist 'Secular' Indian National Congress party.
Sikh as a people are amazing,a real model minority,fiercely loyal to their motherland and to their friends!
This youngest religion came into existence in 1500s as a response to Islamic slaughter and onslaught of Hinduism,as a norm,Hindus 'gave away' their 1st born sons who became Sikhs and fought Islamist invasions very bravely!As a people,Sikhs are very peaceful yet brave,very patriotic and very loyal to India.Contributions by Sikhs in Indian army and in nation's protection is overwhelming and undervalued (By INC terrorists) but real Indians appreciate this!Sikh contribution to chairities is maximum per capita by donations etc!
This is a very good book for introduction to a great faith.It is concise yet informative,unlike most Anthropology texts,it is very easy to read.
I recommend this book to any1 who wants to know more about the Sikhs.
A Sikh never cheats!:-)
