ABSTRACT Examined within the matrix of political and historical frames, and digitally interceded memories, the Komagata Maru is connected with the Canadian Immigration Act (1908). While appearing ‘fair to all migrants', the Canadian government was able to restrict the migration of Indians. Through an examination of digital surrogates of historical photographs and archival material, this article hinges on the extrapolations following data discovery and constructs comparative perspectives. The central premise addresses challenges of decontextualized interpretations and biases plaguing the study of ‘flotsam'. Key questions investigated are the restoration of historical material, cultural technologies, ‘smart culture’ and metadata.

ABSTRACT The essay 1 critically engages with more than a century-long Sikh settlement in Burma. The Sikh community immigrated to Burma following the completion of the British annexation of the country (1886). The history of Sikhs witnessed a few major twists and turns as well as a few uprooting and displacement. This history prompts a rise of doubt among a section of experts in Burma Studies about whether the community would likely be submerged within the wider ethnocultural framework of the dominant Burmese nation. Such assertions of experts need scrutiny and the essay questions their claim based on a rereading available source.

ABSTRACT In the 1930s, Trilok Singh Vaid, a celebrated Sikh and Punjabi writer and Ayurvedic practitioner wrote a series of books on conjugal health and ideal masculinity in which he articulated a conjugal-domestic masculinity, which he termed Patnibrata: men who will love their wives, respect their wives' consent, and form a happy dyadic unit with them. In this paper, I argue that (a) transnational sexology and women's movement in India necessitated this new model of masculinity, and (b) conjugal-domestic masculinity reconceptualised gender roles, but more importantly, sought to empower young men as heads of their household and as independent subjects.

ABSTRACT In this article, I first address the call for Catholics to participate in interreligious dialogue and note the absence of Sikhi in most Vatican documents prior to recent times. I then trace recent Catholic-Sikh dialogues or papal tweets about Sikhi or the inclusion of Sikhs at interfaith events. I also argue why Sikh individuals, communities, and institutions should engage in this specific form of interreligious dialogue with Catholic Christians. I then present how I envision Guru Nanak as an early religious exemplar of both interfaith dialogue and embracing religious pluralism and how this example and advocacy can be a boon both for Christians and for Catholic-Sikh dialogue more specifically.

ABSTRACT A diverse range of Sikh organizations have shaped the direction of Anglo-Sikh education, including the Guru Nanak Sikh Multi Academy Trust (GNSMAT), Nishkam Schools Trust (NST), Khalsa Academies Trust (KAT) and Sevak Schools Trust (SST). The new Sikh Free Schools have also been heavily influenced by the discourse of British Multiculturalism, which is discernible in their aims, approach to education, Sikh values and attainment. This article will bring to light the political and social conditions which made Sikh Faith Schools a reality in England and their impact on the educational landscape of Britain today.

ABSTRACT Despite significant advances in Sikh studies, Sikh nationalism is still poorly understood. As a complex community with competing narratives of self-identity – as a religion, as an ethnicity, and as a global and national minority (in India and in the diaspora) – Sikh nationalism requires an integrated framework that recognises the rich symbolic heritage and how the nation and state-building projects of India and Pakistan have defined Sikh politics. Such a framework also needs to rethink the role of the diaspora as the agent of long-distance nationalism against the background of the rise of religious nationalisms.

ABSTRACT The ‘untouchables,’ outside the varna model of the Hindu social order, were regarded as ‘impure’ and ‘polluted.’ The ceremony of Khande-di-pahul was aimed at levelling caste differences. An attempt has been made in this paper to cover the relation of the untouchables to a sacred place and how donning a sacred body (Amritdhari Khalsa) the claim to equality was established, that is, their right to enter the Golden Temple. The event is analysed in detail with reference to a number of reports and newspapers.
