This book presents students with a careful analysis of these complex themes as they have manifested themselves in the historical evolution of the Sikh traditions and the encounter of Sikhs with modernity and the West, in the philosophical teachings of its founders and their interpretation by Sikh exegetes, and in Sikh ethical and intellectual responses to contemporary issues in an increasingly secular and pluralistic world. \u003ci\u003eSikhism: A Guide for the Perplexed\u003c\/i\u003e serves as an ideal guide to Sikhism, and also for students of Asian studies, Sociology of Religion and World Religions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArvind-Pal Singh Mandair is an Associate Professor and holder of the S.B.S.C.
