The book is a collection of author’s well-researched and well-documented articles published in the leading journals and newspapers. It covers a wide range of subjects on Sikh religion and history. The object of the book is two-fold, first, to project a correct image of Sikhism and its ideals and institutions, and, second, to rebut distortions and misrepresentations of Sikh ideology and tradition. Sikhism occupies a unique place among the higher religions of the world. The Sikhs are quite aware of their independent identity. They have inherited a tradition of service (Seva), suffering and sacrifice for the cause of liberty, justice and righteousness. The spirit of independence is deeply imbedded in the Sikh psyche. The author has tried to highlight the distinctive character of the Sikh faith by taking up themes like the Sikh world-view, the Miri-Piri or whole life system, the theo-political status of the Gurdwaras and the significance of the turban for the Sikhs.
