Rezensionen

From the reviews: "The Sikh faith, culture and identity have been - and remain - an active focus of discussion and scholarship. This bibliography confirms and celebrates this in comprehensive detail. ... we get an excellent historiographic picture of the history and culture and identity of the Sikhs ... . The print version ... comes out well in terms of detailed information, covering canonical and ephemeral sources, the work of journalists and academic theses, and much else." (Stuart Hannabuss, Reference Reviews, Vol. 20 (3), 2006)
