This study explores the Sikh's understanding and practice of Sikhism in the context of Malay-Muslim majority society, Malaysia. It is assumed that the multi-religious and multi-racial nature of Malaysian society somehow would affect the Sikhs' understanding and practice of their religion. The difficulties in practicing and getting SikkhÊ education are among the issues in the practice and understanding of Sikhism in the Malaysian context. Apart from the understanding and practice, it is of equal importance of the Sikhs' perception on Muslims and Islam in Malaysia is also investigated in this study. This study shows that the privileged status of Islam in Malaysia causes some concerns and complaints on the part of several adherents of Sikhism. This study has been able to highlight this issue objectively and emphatically. Using in-depth interview method, (30) Sikhs have been interviewed from the low, the middle and the higher income groups as well as their religious experts. The objective of this explorative study is to identify the Sikhs' condition as a religious community in a majority-minority context with Islam as the privileged religion. It is aimed at preserving and promoting good inter-religious relationship and understanding among Malaysian communities so that the non-Muslim religion can continue to be practiced in peace and harmony, as provided by the Constitution of Malaysia. It is discovered that in terms of practice, the Sikhs are following the Sikh Rehit MaryÉdÉ (The Sikh Code of Conduct) of the KhÉlsÉ Order of the Tenth GurË, Gobind Singh (d.1708) though not fully successful in observing the Sikhs' Article of Faith i.e. the Five Ks and abstaining from the ChÉr-kurehit (Four Taboos). Some members of the Sikh community also express some difficulties and obstacles they face in practicing their religion in Malaysia while to some of them, Malaysia is considered as the second home for Sikhism after the Punjab. In terms of understanding of the fundamental concepts, the Sikhs are united in their understanding of the Oneness of God as well as the position of GurËs and GurË Granth SÉhib. However, they have differences of opinion with regard to other concepts like the concept of karma (human action) and views on some of the KhÉlsÉ Code of Discipline.

This book is the second in a global trilogy looking at the unreported Sikh diaspora comprising mainly the non-English speaking countries. The first one in the Sikh Global Village series was Sikhs in Latin America published by Manohar. This volume covers Sikhs in Asia Pacific countries. The third will be on Sikhs in Europe. The Asia Pacific region is a vital and under-recognized home for the Sikh diaspora. Before 1947, most Sikhs migrated East. In addition to the commonly known destinations, the author also examines lesser known cases of Sikh migration to China, Korea, Japan and the Philippines. The book covers various aspects of the diaspora including the history of migration relating to the British Indian Army police force. The British gave preference in recruiting Sikhs, and encouraged them to build gurdwaras and supported them to keep their Sikh identity. Soon after arrival, these early immigrants encouraged their village compatriots and relatives to migrate in large numbers to avail of the various opportunities for gainful employment or business. Not only is this wave of migration important in its own right, but Sikh migration to North America finds its origins in the Asia-Pacific Sikh diaspora, specifically from Shanghai. The decolonization of Asian countries slowed down the migration and in some cases resulted even in exodus of Indians/Sikhs at the same time as new destinations to North America and UK opened up. Migration to each country has a unique profile, traced vividly in the book. Additionally the author has made an effort to outline the similarities and differences in migration of Sikhs to the East against present migration to the West. Case studies are extensively used.

This book analyses Sikh communal identity as it was established in the Far East under the auspices of the British Empire. Focusing on Singapore with a comparative case study with Malaysia, where Sikh communities form a significant minority in terms of numbers and visibility and have had significant interaction with their respective post colonial states, the author charts the trajectory of assimilation of Sikh communal identity in Singapore and Malaya. Sikhs were part of the key events and occurrences in Southeast Asia such as the Japanese Occupation, the attainment of Independence and post independence. The book examines the way forward for Sikh communities in these nations as communal identities are fast becoming blurred under the advent of global trends, such as the influence of Arabic versions of Islam on Malaysia, and globalisation. This is the first booklength study of Sikh settlements in Southeast Asia. It will be of intererst to scholars of diaspora and minority studies, post colonialism, multiculturalism and South and Southeast Asian studies.

This important volume provides a clear, concise and comprehensive guide to the history of Sikh nationalism from the late nineteenth century to the present. Drawing on A. D. Smith's ethno-symbolic approach, Gurharpal Singh and Giorgio Shani use a new integrated methodology to understanding the historical and sociological development of modern Sikh nationalism. By emphasising the importance of studying Sikh nationalism from the perspective of the nation-building projects of India and Pakistan, the recent literature on religious nationalism and the need to integrate the study of the diaspora with the Sikhs in South Asia, they provide a fresh approach to a complex subject. Singh and Shani evaluate the current condition of Sikh nationalism in a globalised world and consider the lessons the Sikh case offers for the comparative study of ethnicity, nations and nationalism.

Religious and ethno-religious issues are inherent in many multiethnic and multi-religious societies. Singapore society is no exception. It has long been multiethnic, multicultural and multi-religious, being at the crossroads of many major and minor civilizations, cultures and traditions, and its religious diversity continues to develop in the current contexts of growing religiosity, religious change and conflict often in the name of religion. Despite this background, there is lack of in-depth knowledge, nuanced understanding and regular dialogue about religions and the meanings of living in a multi-religious world. This volume covering major themes of Singapore's religious landscape, religion in schools and among the young, religion in the media, religious involvement in social services, and interfaith issues and interaction fills important gaps in the knowledge and understanding of Singapore's religious diversity and complexity. A collective effort of researchers and practitioners, it is a timely and useful reference for scholars, decision-makers, leaders and practitioners as well as for concerned citizens and followers.
