Discusses the origin of Sikhism as an attempt to reconcile the beliefs of Muslims and Hindus, the conflicts it has faced over the centuries, and recent developments.
Another excellent book, this one more for young adults, but full of information about Sikhs, their religion, and their lives. My husband and I are Quakers and what I am most struck by is how similar Quakers are to Sikhs - the belief that everyone is equal, that being a truly peaceful person and treating everyone you meet with kindness is of the most importance, etc. I am enjoying learning about Sikhism and have been so pleased with the two books I've read that I am going to read a third on the subject. Highly recommend!
