The Sikhs are universally respectful and proud of their Gurus' intimate contact with eastern India representing the territories of Assam, Bengal and Orissa under British rule. It may be debated, however, whether the Gurus' disciples are generally aware of how the Panthic message has been transmitted and perceived over the centuries in this part of the country. Their comparative lack of enthusiasm man be partly due to the bulky nature of these sources as well as the difficulty of having them together in a public library or any single private collection. These materials are in regional languages and carry a distinct local flavour, differing significantly from those of the manjha-malwa-doaba watershed. They suggest not only the spirit of plurality in Indian cultural traditions, but also Sikhism's intimate link with it. Their identification and appreciation is likely to enrich our understanding of Sikhism in the wider context of the Indian unity and diversity. The present study seeks to deal with some of these interesting issues recorded in three eastern Indian languages, namely, Assamese, Bengali and Oriya published over a century between the First Sikh War (1845) and the Partition of India (1947). In the process it outlines the history of the Sikhs and reveals how the message of Sikhism has been perceived in the context of different local issues by numerous eastern Indian authors.

Covering different areas of Sikh studies, the fifteen essays contained here are an attempt at introducing the Sikh past to a wide readership.Himadri Banerjee holds the chair of Guru Nanak Professor of Indian History at the Department of History, Jadavpur University, Kolkata. His published work includes Agrarian Society of the Punjab: 1849 1901 (1982). He is currently working on a two-volume history of the Sikhs and Sikhism in eastern India, of which the first volume, titled The Other Sikhs: A View from Eastern India, has already been published.[Banerjee] emphasises on the need of taking Sikh Studies beyond the way it has been defined by some western scholars.

Many Sikhs had been living happily in America until September 11th, 2001. Everything changed that fateful day. Sikhs, who wear turbans and have long beards due to their religious beliefs, were hit twice. First, our country was attacked and thousands of Sikhs' innocent fellow citizens lost their lives. Second, some of our countrymen started terrorizing Sikhs due to ignorance. Suddenly, it looked like Sikhs were on the other side of the war. People were rightfully angered by the attacks but wrongly assumed that Sikhs might be the enemy. Shocked Americans, bristling with misguided patriotism, imitated the terrorists by terrorizing their innocent neighbors. All of a sudden Sikhs became the scapegoats. When you live in America but are misidentified as America's enemy, your American Dream starts slipping away. You know that your liberty is at stake. Why would somebody in his or her right mind then wear a turban and have a long beard anymore? One could be taunted by passers-by, discriminated on the job, pulled out of the airport security line, and physically assaulted. It doesn't make sense unless you have a good reason to do it, and Sikhs do . What is their reasoning, and is it worth it?

Sikhism traces its beginnings to Punjab where Guru Nanak was born in 1469. There are 25 Million Sikhs worldwide, of which 18 million live in the Panjab and other 7 million around the world. At the heart of the religion are the Ten Sikh Gurus from the founder father guru Nanak (1469- 1539) to Guru Gobind Singh (1666-1708) who transferred authority from individual masters to the scriptures know as Guru Granth Sahib. Sikhism is known to be the fifth largest religion of the world. Sikhs today have their own ethics, rituals, festivals and ceremonies. This book contains a brief introduction to the Sikh Gurus, The Takhts - the five seats of authority, Amrit- the initiation, Nishan Sahib- the symbolic Sikh Flag, the five K's and the Guru Granth Sahib. The book includes information about the transition of Sikh scriptures from the contributors of Guru Nanak and other Gurus and holy men to the final living Guru- Guru Granth Sahib.

The history of Sikhs in Britain provides important clues into the evolution of Britain as a multicultural society and the challenges it faces today. The authors examine the complex Anglo-Sikh relationship that led to the initial Sikh settlement and the processes of community-building around Sikh institutions such as gurdwaras. They explore the nature of British Sikh society as reflected in the performance of Sikhs in the labor markets, the changing characteristics of the Sikh family and issues of cultural transmission to the young. They provide an original and insightful account of a community transformed from the site of radical immigrant class politics to a leader of the Sikh diaspora in its search for a separate Sikh state.
