Students Doing Research on Sikhism


Most of the literature on Sikhism in Punjabi, English and other languages is superficial, superfluous, contradictory and outright repudiation of Nanakian philosophy (Gurmat) enshrined in the Aad Guru Granth Sahib (AGGS), the only authentic source of Nanakian philosophy. Such misinterpretations are found in books, professional and non-professional journals and all the translations of the Aad Guru Granth Sahib in Punjabi, English and other languages. Repeated lies about Sikhism under the cloak of academic research published by Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press and encyclopedias are taken as truth by non-suspecting student researchers.

My recent analysis of the works of W. H. McLeod, Pashaura Singh, Harjot Oberoi and Doris Jakobsh has revealed that r the “McLeodian School” is creating its own version of Sikhism like the Udsais and Nirmalas created their Brahmanical version of Sikhism. After a great deal of introspection and pondering over this problem with learned Sikhs we are announcing free help and guidance to students who are engaged in research on Sikhism. We urge Sikh students studying for undergraduate degrees to take courses on Sikhism. We will help them with their term papers and theses.
