Sikh Studies

Sikh Studies is an academic field focused on the exploration of Sikhism, a monotheistic religion founded in the Punjab region of India in the 15th century. It examines various aspects of Sikh beliefs, practices, history, and culture, including the teachings of the ten Sikh Gurus and sacred texts like the Guru Granth Sahib. Scholars study rituals, community life, ethical principles, and the impact of Sikhism on society, as well as historical events that shaped the Sikh community. The aim is to foster a deeper understanding of Sikh spirituality and its significance in the contemporary world.
