Sikh Separatism : The Politics of Faith Hardback
by Rajiv A. Kapur
Part of the Routledge Revivals series
Hardback
Description
First published in 1986, Sikh Separatism is a comprehensive study of the emergence of Sikh unrest in India.
The appearance of Sikh fundamentalism and separatism is not a sudden development.
They are both shown to have deep social and historical roots linked to the growth of contemporary Sikh identity, community and organization.
The genesis of Sikh communal consciousness and organization lies in a social and religious reform movement among Sikhs from the 1870s to the 1920s.
This movement is believed to have moulded Sikh perceptions of their political interests and resulted in the establishment of an institutional framework which has served as an arena and a base for Sikh separatism.
The development of this reform movement and its motivations, the strategies and tactics employed by the reformers and its profound political implications are examined.
This book will be of interest to students of political science, international relations, and South Asian studies.
