Dr.
I. J. Singh -New York
WHAT READERS SAY ABOUT THE BOOK
"For anyone who has asked "Who are the Sikhs? What do they
believe in?", this book is as refreshing as a Spring breeze. Dr. I.J. Singh has
written a very thought provoking book in a very easy to read style."
- Alice Basarke (Ontario, Canada)
"...the main thrust of I.J. Singh's book is to interpret
articulately and intelligently the religious and cultural moorings of the Sikhs, his
observations, and those of men and women like him, on the problems which beset India's
relations with Sikhs abroad, must be examined thoughtfully."
-Patwant Singh (Hindustan Times, 1995)
"The author ... known for both his keen mind and his ability to puncture the
pompous ....manages to touch upon aspects of Sikh religion, heritage, community life,
gurdwara politics, Khalistan, as well racism, sexism and ecology..."
-Roopinder Singh (Tribune, India, 1995)
"This book is must for every Sikh to read. By reading
this book the folks belonging to other religions can learn a lot about
Sikhism."
- Harjap Singh (Bull. Garden State Sikh Assoc)
"Written in a pithy terse style, it covers the entire
range of Sikh experience. Dr. Singh thinks in a thoroughly modern idiom
but with his feet firmly grounded in Sikh tradition. ..."here is a book
that is a must reading for any Sikh with any modicum of curiosity about
the Sikh heritage and its place in today's world."
-Ravinder Singh (On the Internet, 1996)
"The generation that will inherit the great legacy of
Guru-Prophets ought to profit from a thoughtful reading of this compendium
of ancient wisdom in modern idiom."
-Saran Singh (Sikh Review, August 1994)
"In each of them (essays) I found lucid thinking, an uncommon mastery of local
language and a fresh approach to vexing questions that we often discuss ad infinitum at
various gatherings, conferences and dinner parties."
-Gurpal S. Bhullar (Assn of Sikh Professionals)
"For a young Sikh brought up in this non-Sikh milieu who wants to have his/her
faith backed by logic. It will make educative, informative and interesting reading. It
will certainly help in redefining his/her identity and strengthen the roots."
-Amrit Kaur (Sikh Courier, London, 1994
"Dr. Singh's essays are refreshing, brief, lucid and clear, free from verbosity of language and conceptual jargon. He
has discussed the subject with devotion, analysis and forthrightness."
-Raminder Singh (Sikh Reformer, London, 1995)
"It is a book worth reading and exploring, browsing and
reflecting, discussing and analyzing as it is a contribution to analysis."
-Balwant Singh (Sikh Review, October,1995)
"Candor in writing on subjects concerning Sikh religion
by a Sikh is a rather uncommon phenomenon ...Dr. Singh has done this job
remarkably well..."
-Hakam Singh (World Sikh News, February 1995)
"...here was a book aimed at the young people brought up in
overseas countries... The book takes up questions which are really bothering them and
answers in a way which is entirely clear and entirely relevant. As such the book has
absolutely no rivals which come near it."
- Hew McLeod
"Written in clear prose, these essays do not arouse a
nostalgia for a "home" in the Punjab, but describe the author's quest to
come to term with his own and his community's past, thereby creating for
his fellow Sikhs in the West a possible blueprint for the future."
-Gurinder Singh Mann (Columbia University)
"I must congratulate you on bringing out the volume containing essays on such
relevant themes for the community. What is more important is your spirit of enquiry."
-Mohinder Singh (National Institute of Punjab Studies)
