It belongs to the library of every Sikh household settled throughout the world. - Pashaura Singh, Distinguished Professor and Saini Chair in Sikh Studies, University of California Riverside This excellent introduction text to Sikhism is both concise and comprehensive and combines engagement with clarity. - Knut A.
