"Practised by over 20 million people worldwide, Skihism has a rich history of religious and cultural teachings and practices. This Very Short Introduction explores its central beliefs, its traditions concerning community, and its rituals and festivals. In this new edition, Eleanor Nesbitt guides us through the development of the ever evolving Sikh identity, looking at key moments in the history of the Sikh religion. From the first Guru, through martyrdom and militarization, to its place now as a well-established world religion, Nesbitt offers an up-to-date examination of contemporary Skih identities and their role in our world."--Provided by publisher.
