  • Sikh Economic Ethics

    P SinghCHAPTERThe Oxford Handbook of Religion…2024

    This study explores the relationship between Sikh values and economic morality affecting the evolution of the global Sikh community (Panth) in different historical periods. As the founder of the Sikh tradition, Guru Nanak was a pioneer in developing the notion of spiritual capital alongside material capital. To eradicate the problems of poverty, unemployment, the exploitation of the poor by the rich, and the uneven distribution of wealth, he laid…

    Open AccessJohn J Collins, Paul Middleton et al.BOOKCambridge Companion to Religion…2023

    This Companion offers a global, comparative history of the interplay between religion and war from ancient times to the present. Moving beyond sensationalist theories that seek to explain why 'religion causes war,' the volume takes a thoughtful look at the connection between religion and war through a variety of lenses - historical, literary, and sociological-as well as the particular features of religious war. The twenty-three carefully nuanced …

  • Growing pains in the field of Sikh Studies in the Western Academy

    P SinghARTICLESikh Formations2023Referências: 1

    The field of Sikh Studies has arrived in the Western Academy along with a rich experience of growing pains during the last three decades. The vocal opposition of ultra-conservative fringe groups in the Sikh diaspora frequently managed to gain a dominant voice in community media effectively trolling, harassing, and marginalizing progressive scholarly voices. There is an urgent need to understand this phenomenon in the context of the Punjab crisis

    A major form of folk theatre, Nautanki, still holds an important place in the collective consciousness of the rural mass of the north India. The storyline of this musical folk theatre, exceptional in preserving the written texts, is derived from multiple sources ranging from mythology, history, romances, and folklores to contemporary icons. With its emphasis on music, both vocal and instrumental, accompanied by its most important companion Nakkar…

It extends the number of works in the collection from a 'fixed' assemblage of 'four' to 'nine,' making it an open collection that dynamically responds to the specific questions raised by historians about Guru Nanak's encounter with B…

  • How Avoiding the Religion-Politics Divide Plays out in Sikh Politics

    Open AccessP SinghARTICLEReligions2019Citada por: 3Referências: 19

    This article looks at the intersection of religion and politics in the evolution of the Sikh tradition in the pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial periods in the Indian subcontinent. The Sikh notion of sovereignty is at the heart of the intersection of religious and secular domains, and this relationship is examined empirically and theoretically. In particular, the conception of mīrī-pīrī is presented as a possible explanation for understandi…

  • The millennial generation of Sikhs in North America

    P SinghARTICLESikh Formations2018Citada por: 4Referências: 2

    Millennial Sikhs are second- or in some cases third-generation children born in North America in the last two decades of twentieth century. They have been actively involved in the process of ‘renewal and re-definition’ of the Sikh tradition. Cross-cultural encounters heighten their sense of identity. They constantly draw from their Sikh inheritance the universal values of social justice and equality to reach out to their non-Sikh neighbors and to…

  • The Granth of Guru Gobind Singh

    P SinghARTICLESikh Formations2018Citada por: 1

    The most controversial issue in Sikh studies is about the status of the Dasam Granth (DG) in current scholarship. In the last two decades, the Dasam Granth debate has become quite nasty. The missio

  • Drinking from Love’s Cup

  • Deconstructing the Punjab crisis of 1984

    P SinghARTICLESikh Formations2016Citada por: 3Referências: 3

    Acts of violence or non-violence are social phenomena that take place at particular historical junctures. They cannot be described as essential features of any community. The Punjab crisis of yesteryear reflected the multidimensionality of violence. On the one hand, involvement of the agents of 'Third Agency' in the garb of Sikh militants in random acts of violence and guerrilla warfare was totally unwarranted and counterproductive; on the other,…

  • Framing the Dasam Granth Debate

    P SinghARTICLESikh Formations2015Referências: 1

    Much of the Dasam Granth debate is focused on the questions of its authorship and authenticity. Clouding the study of its text with such questions, however, derails further progress in our understanding. There is an urgent need to move beyond polemics and locate the Dasam Granth in the context of courtly culture of late seventeenth-century and early eighteenth-century Punjab in Mughal India. This article further examines the intersection of Sikh,…

  • Vygotsky and Sociology

    P Singh, R Brown et al.BOOKVygotsky and sociology2012

    The point of departure of this chapter is the understanding that the way in which the social relations of institutions are regulated has cognitive and affective consequences for those who live and work inside them. The current state of the art in the social sciences struggles to provide a theoretical connection between specifi c forms, or modalities, of institutional regulation and consciousness. Attempts which have been made to do so tend not to…
