Summary

"The Sikhs represent something of a puzzle: they are a distinct cultural and religious community, with a vibrant diaspora and a territorial homeland, but do not easily conform to the frames of ethnicity and nationalism. This paradox is even more striking when we consider that within 550 years they have developed from a small religious group to a paradigmatic transnational community. The political events that have convulsed the community over the last four decades stand in sharp contrast to the lack of rigorous analysis of Sikh nationalism as a political phenomenon"--
