Fighting for Faith and Nation

Dialogues with Sikh Militants

By: Cynthia Keppley Mahmood

The ethnic and religious violence that characterized the late twentieth century calls for new ways of thinking and writing about politics. Listening to the voices of people who experience political violence—either as victims or as perpetrators—gives new insights into both the sources of violent conflict and the potential for its resolution. Drawing on her extensive interviews and conversations with Sikh militants, Cynthia Keppley Mahmood presents their accounts of the human rights abuses inflicted on them by the state of India as well as their explanations of the philosophical tradition of martyrdom and meaningful death in the Sikh faith. While demonstrating how divergent the world views of participants in a conflict can be, Fighting for Faith and Nation gives reason to hope that our essential common humanity may provide grounds for a pragmatic resolution of conflicts such as the one in Punjab which has claimed tens of thousands of lives in the past fifteen years.

A Sea of Orange

Writings on the Sikhs and India

By: Cynthia Mahmood

Sikhism, a religion of twenty million people with its heartland in India, is one of the least-understood traditions in the world. The state of Punjab in which the majority of Sikhs live has been the site of a serious conflict in the past two decades. This book contains ten essays on Sikhs, Hindus, human rights, and violence, illuminating one of the dark corners of the world we live in. From a grass-roots perspective rooted in anthropology to issues of ethics and international politics, the author guides her readers through the complex maze that is contemporary India and the Indian diaspora. Anyone interested in conflicts going on today around religious and ethnic identities will find this collection invaluable the first time available in book form.
