Sikh women’s internet sites
Sikhs have had a significant presence on the Internet since the 1990s. For the most part, early web sites were clearly gendered, highlighting male-focused history, identity, and concerns, with some sites including a ‘women’s section’. Sikh women’s specific sites were few. The scenario has changed considerably with a number of new sites developed by and for women. “Kaur Life”, “Kaurista”, the “Kaur Project”, and the “Sikh Feminist Research Institu…

Sundri, then and now
This paper examines Bhai Vir Singh's novella, Sundri (1898) from the context of the Singh Sabha reform movement (1880–1920). Sundri, Vir Singh's fictional heroine, became an important and idealized site of female identity construction during this time. Bhai Vir Singh's Sundri will be juxtaposed with a pixelated version, a recent animated film by the same name. Similar to the novella, the animated Sundri too can be understood as a highly particula…
A century of miri piri
In this paper we reflect on the Komagata Maru as a fundamental foreshadowing of a century of Sikh negotiation with the Canadian state to achieve inclusion and belonging. The commitment of Gurdit Singh, who charted the vessel, is emblematic of miri piri, the idea that the spiritual and political cannot be separated in the fight for justice. We use miri piri as a lens through which to examine a century of Sikh struggle in Canada since the Komagata …

Seeking the Image of ‘Unmarked’ Sikh Women
With the inauguration of the Khalsa in 1699 by the tenth guru of the Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh, a new understanding of ‘being Sikh’ was put in place. In examining the earliest prescriptive texts of the Khalsa, manifestations of Sikh religio-cultural identity and visual distinctiveness were deeply connected to the male Sikh body. This study locates Sikh women within a number of these early ritual and textual ordinances while also exploring how Sikh…
Feminizing the Khalsa
The ‘marked body’ of the Sikh male has long been the normative means for understanding Sikhism at large. The highly visible Khalsa Sikh male, complete with external signifiers known as the 5Ks, and the accompanying turban, tend to characterize the Sikh community at large, both in the Indian homeland as well as within Sikh diasporic contexts. This paper examines processes of negotiation of Sikh female identity, in essence the religious particulari…
Religious Radicalization and Securitization in Canada and Beyond
Religious Radicalization and Securitization in Canada and Beyond is an ideal guide to the ongoing debates on how best to respond to radicalization without sacrificing the commitments to multiculturalism and social justice that many Canadians hold dear."--pub. desc
Offline Politics / Online Shaming
This article investigates notions of “shaming,” “resistance,” and “honor” within the Sikh community from an historical perspective and investigates the “online shaming” that of late has been taking place within a number of ethno-specific “online spaces.” It focuses on Sikhs’ and specifically Sikh youths’ contributions and responses. Gurdwara brawls that have taken place over contentious issues have been often filmed and posted on social networkin…
Sikhs in Europe
HO/Sikh Dharma of the Western Hemisphere
This article will give a general overview of a Sikh movement that originated in the 1960s with an immigrant from India known as Harbhajan Singh, a Khatri Sikh. His initial aim was to teach yoga in Canada, but the job he was promised did not materialize, and thus it was that he turned his attention towards California. In Los Angeles, he took on a new name, Yogi Bhajan, and soon surrounded himself with eager students. An ashram was built soon there…

Sikhism, Interfaith Dialogue, and Women
This article locates the study of Sikhism and gender within the wider milieu of ‘women and religion’; in this context, the question of interfaith dialogue, women, and Sikhism is examined. Further, this article focuses on a recent controversy at the Golden Temple, the holiest shrine of the Sikhs. Two British amritdhari (initiated) women were refused the right to participate in the Sukhasan procession, a ritual in which Sikh scripture, the Guru Gra…
