Abstracts of Sikh Studies: Volume 6, Issue 1

This issue of Abstracts of Sikh Studies delves deeply into the pivotal concept of shatabdis, centenary celebrations that hold significant cultural and religious importance within Sikh history. These celebrations are portrayed as potential catalysts for fostering unity and driving progress within the Sikh community. The journal further investigates the philosophical foundations of Sikhism, emphasizing the central role of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib as the eternal guru and the collective authority of the Guru Panth. Additionally, it confronts contemporary issues faced by the Sikh diaspora, tackling themes of social injustice, the imperative of literacy, and the pressing need for communal solidarity.
