Synopsis

This volume provides a thorough comparison of the rituals, beliefs and history of Sikhism and Christianity. Chapters focus on God, revelation, the scriptures, worship, ethics and the history of these two religions, and highlights both differences and similarities. The Sikh nation was the last to be annexed by the British, in 1849. Since then, the Sikhs and their religion have fascinated many Western visitors to India. Their martial tradition attracted the attention of British army officers and has often resulted in an over-emphasis being placed upon this aspect of their culture. Only with the movement of Sikhs to Europe and North America in the 1950s as economic migrants did a broader knowledge of their religious beliefs and practices develop. Even now there are still scholars who erroneously regard Sikhs as Hindus. Cole and Sambhi have also written "The Sikhs: Their Religious Beliefs and Practices".
