Exploring Sikhism: Aspects of Sikh Identity, Culture and Thought

With articles that have been previously published in various journals and other edited works, but are mostly difficult to obtain, this volume makes an important segement of McLeod's work available. The essays collected here cover a wide range - Guru Nanak, the nature of the Sikh Panth (the Sikh Community), the Khalsa Rahit (the code of belief and behaviour all initiated Sikhs must promise to obey), Namdhari or Kuka Sikhs, caste as observed by Sikhs, and the Sikh diaspora to other countries.
