Produktbeschreibung

This is a new edition of Webster's, The Nirankari Sikhs (1979), which is recognized as 'single most important work on the history of Baba Dayal and his successors'. It updates the earlier edition not only by dealing with the past forty years of Nirankari history but also by taking into account subsequent scholarship on the history of Sikhism.
This book will be of value to those seeking a fuller understanding of the evolution of Sikh identity since the 19th century.
