About this listen

The Sikh religion has a following of over 20 million people worldwide and is ranked as the world's fifth largest religion. However, events such as the verbal and physical attacks on Sikhs just after September 11, where Sikhs were being mistaken for Muslims, suggest that the Sikh faith still remains mysterious to many.

This Very Short Introduction introduces newcomers to the meaning of the Sikh religious tradition, its teachings, practices, rituals, and festivals. Eleanor Nesbitt highlights and contextualizes the key threads in the history of Sikhism, from the first Gurus to martyrdom, militarization, and the increasingly significant diaspora. Examining gender, caste, and the changes that are currently underway in the faith, Nesbitt considers contemporary Sikh identities and their role in our world.

This short but thorough introduction is exactly what I wished it to be. It helped me gain a grasp on Sikh practices, history, and politics. A fantastic starting point for anyone learning about Sikhi!

If you are trying to learn about the actual Sikh faith, this will cover it a little in the beginning, but it’s more a history of Sikh people and their various issues, notable points in history, and the challenges they face.
