The spectrum of this genre of literature has several strands. It elucidates mystic concepts of spiritual elevation, provides the earliest exegesis of the hymns of Guru Nanak and illustrates the teachings of Guru Nanak by narrating interesting anecdotes. The most significant aspect of the Janamsakhi literature is that it has preserved the tradition of Guru Nanak’s life that became the primary source of information for all the writings on Guru Nanak. Of late the historical validity of this material has been called to question in the name of methodology.

  • Sikh History and Culture on the Net: Storytelling As an Innovative Medium
    IOSR Journal of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 25, Issue 9, Series 4 (September. 2020) 34-44 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Sikh History and Culture on the Net: Storytelling As An Innovative Medium Kulbir Kaur Assistant Professor Shyama Prasad Mukherji College Department of Sociology University of Delhi Abstract : This paper tries to explore the role of the age-old tradition of storytelling ( albeit in a new format available on the net ) in shaping the personality of the children and inculcating Sikh values among them and at the same time also acting as a medium to reinforce one‟s identity. An attempt has been made to understand the notion of „identity‟ and its interpretation through the use of Sakhis and in the process, glorifying the Sikh religion, history and culture but unconsciously, exposing the fears, crisis of the community as well. In the case of the Sikhs, „modernity‟ has emerged as the most dangerous form of the „Other‟ and the present crisis also seems to be related to the very definition of the term„Sikh‟. Who can be considered a true Sikh or, rather, a Sikh? The paper centres around the relationship between „the Word and the World‟( if I may use the title of Veena Das‟s book) or the understanding of social life through the prism of religion.

Rationale In the context of COVID-19, mass gatherings are events that could amplify the transmission of the virus. Vaisakhi also pronounced as Baisakhi is observed by Hindus and Sikhs as religious and cultural event, and is celebrated between 12-20th April every year. It signifies the Hindu Solar New Year, beginning of the harvest festival, birth of the Khalsa and Punjabi new year. The Baisakhi is the most important “Sikh Religious and cultural Gathering” marking the birth of the Sikh faith and every year Pakistan observes participation from all over the world at the shrines of Panja Sahib and Nankana Sahib. This year also the Sikh community will perform their religious rites during the festival, while observing social distancing, and adhering to COVID 19 SOPs. The main events/congregations of the celebrations will be held at the shrines of Panja Sahib and Nankana Sahib. Major Religious Activities and Celebrations at the Gurdwara includes: • Fairs and festivals, animal races are organized in different parts of Punjab. • Ritual Bathing • Amrit Sanchaar for new Khalsa • Parades • Nagar Kirtan (hymn singing) • Distribution of food • Observances of Prayers, Procession and raising of the Nishan Sahib flag.

  • Code-Switching in the Maintenance of Punjabi in the Lower Mainland
    CODE-SWITCHING IN THE MAINTENANCE OF PUNJABI IN THE LOWER MAINLAND by Jasmine Kaur Sandher A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (Asian Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2019 © Jasmine Kaur Sandher, 2019 The following individuals certify that they have read, and recommend to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for acceptance, the thesis entitled: Code-Switching in the Maintenance of Punjabi in the Lower Mainland submitted by Jasmine Sandher in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Asian Studies Examining Committee: Dr. Anne Murphy, Asian Studies Co-supervisor Dr. Ross King, Asian Studies Co-supervisor Sukwant Hundal, Asian Studies Additional Examiner ii Abstract Punjabi language is widely used throughout the Lower Mainland, BC. It is the third most spoken immigrant language after Mandarin and Cantonese. Although Canada’s Official Bilingualism policy promotes English and French as official languages, many accommodations are made for immigrant languages such as Punjabi. As a result, it continues to thrive. Due to the close proximity of the two languages, Punjabi commonly makes use of English through code-switching. The use of code-switching is looked at in this thesis through an analysis of Lower Mainland radio and Bhangra music. The data for this project has been collected through listening to and transcribing radio segments and music lyrics. The data utilized was collected from two programs, Roshni and Punjabi Takeover, which both air on RED FM, a Surrey based Punjabi radio station.
