ABSTRACT Nagar kirtan is a Sikh travelling court of poetry, prominent during the Punjabi harvest festival, Vaisakhi. Critics and celebrators alike overfocus on its visual optics, but there is an alternative bottom-up assemblage by which participants generate transformative power. This article decentres the politics of representation favoured by state apparatuses, politicians, and religious elites. I mobilize a decolonial feminist conceptualization with a walk from off the centerstage. Deploying the subaltern figure of the bride, I argue for an interpretation of nagar kirtan as embodied engagement with a poetics of a humanity. Fieldwork was carried out in Hong Kong, Vancouver, and Toronto.

ABSTRACT Taking 2019 Bollywood blockbuster Kesari as a case study, this paper argues that contemporary film trailers are not just promotional para-texts: they can be powerful ideological texts too, as they become accessible, reiterative, and interactive through social media. The paper performs a discourse and visual analysis of trailer and trailer-users interactions to demonstrate that the trailer formulates and disseminates an Islamophobic, anti-secular, Hindu nationalistic discourse with coherence and complexity. It also blurs difficult questions regarding Indians' participation in the British Indian Army, and reclaims Sikhs as part of the Hindu nation in line with Hindutva ideology.

ABSTRACT The partition of India in 1947 was, and undoubtedly remains, the most turbulent episode in the recent history of the subcontinent. Of course, the reading of Partition history, be it through its humanitarian or political dimension, is anything but uniform. It is observable that a group narrative of Partition exists for each community directly affected by the event – that is to say, Hindu, Muslim and Sikh respectively. What this article intends to do is focus in on one of these groups – the Sikhs, by demonstrating how their group narrative of Partition has evolved in the period since 1947.

ABSTRACT The SGPC and SAD have been two of the Sikh community's premier religious/political institutions in Punjab, India over the past century. They have helped define the parameters of Sikh ethnic/religious identity and have represented Sikh political interests in both colonial and postcolonial democratic India. In contemporary politics, the SAD faces multiple challenges including upholding its founding principle of representing and defending the Sikh Panth, while concurrently competing effectively with the ‘catch-all' Congress Party in Punjab’s sociologically-diverse electorate. This special themed issue of Sikh Formations examines the historical legacies, contemporary dynamics, and future challenges of both the SGPC and SAD.

ABSTRACT This article explores the ideological foundations in the formation of the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD). It begins with the examination of the process of institutionalization from the Kartarpur period to modern times, focusing on the centrality of sacred space in Sikh corporate life. The overall structure, organization, and the underlying arguments of this essay revolve around the evolution of the doctrine of Guru-Panth, referring to two meanings: one, ‘the Panth of the Guru,’ refers to the Sikh community; the other, ‘the Panth as the Guru,’ referring to the Guru-Panth doctrine, which developed from the earlier idea that the Guru is mystically present in the congregation (saṅgat).
本文探讨了Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC)和Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD)形成的思想基础。它首先考察了从Kartarpur时期到现代的制度化过程，重点关注锡克教企业生活中神圣空间的中心地位。这篇文章的整体结构、组织和潜在的论点围绕着古鲁-潘特教义的演变，涉及两个含义:一，“古鲁的潘特”指的是锡克教社区;另一个，“作为导师的潘特”，指的是导师潘特学说，它是从早期的观点发展而来的，即导师神秘地出现在会众中(saṅgat)。
