This study by a seasoned historian attempts to resolve a bitter international debate that has raged in Sikh studies for over a decade. With a deep commitment to the ddiscipline of history and a genuine appreciation for the Sikh tradition, Prefessor Grewal presents a historiographical treat which becomes at the same time the first introduction of its kind to the Sikh tradition itrself. The issues he takes up for discussion are the status of sikhism as a religious system, search for the Nanak of history; `militarisation` of the Sikh movement; the institution of the Khalsa; the doctrines of Guru Granth and Guru Panth; caste and the Sikh community; textual study of the Adi granth and historical methodology in relation to religious studies.
