内容説明
One answer to the question "who is a Sikh?" is that Sikhism means the teachings of the tenth Guru, Gobind Singh, and to be a Sikh requires acceptance of those teachings. The community founded by Guru Gobind Singh was the Khalsa and a true Sikh is therefore a Sikh of the Khalsa. This, however, leaves many others who regard themselves as Sikhs but do not follow the discipline of the Khalsa. The so-called Sahaj-dhari Sikhs have been numbered amongst these. Others belonging to families with a Khalsa tradition no longer observe the tradition in its full rigour and yet still regard themselves as Sikhs. This volume surveys the history of the Sikh race, showing how various circumstances influenced the criteria by which people could be identified as Sikhs. The author attempts to identify these circumstances and provide answers to many questions of contemporary relevance.
