Construction of Religious Boundaries : Culture, Identify and Diversity in the Sikh Tradition

This study lays the foundation for a major reinterpretation of religion and society in India. By extensively using post-structuralist theory, Oberoi suggests an alternative to earlier scholarly narratives that saw Sikhism, Hindism, and Islam as historically given categories encompassing well-demarcated and self-conscious units of religious identity. The theoretical advances are made through a searching examination of Sikh historical materials.Oberoi, Harjot is the author of 'Construction of Religious Boundaries : Culture, Identify and Diversity in the Sikh Tradition', published 2006 under ISBN 9780195632880 and ISBN 0195632885.
