'In Our Whole Society, There Is No Equality': Sikh Householding And
religions Article ‘In Our Whole Society, There Is No Equality’: Sikh Householding and the Intersection of Gender and Caste Nicola Mooney Department of Social, Cultural and Media Studies & South Asian Studies Institute, University of the Fraser Valley, Abbotsford, BC V2S 7M8, Canada; [email protected] Received: 24 December 2019; Accepted: 7 February 2020; Published: 19 February 2020 Abstract: Sikhism is widely understood and celebrated as san egalitarian religion. This follows from its interpretation as a challenge to the caste schema of Hinduism as well as readings which suggest its gender equality. This paper explores the intersection of caste and gender in Sikh society in relation to Guru Nanak’s tenet that Sikhs be householders. Nanak’s view that householding is the basis of religious life and spiritual liberation—as opposed to the caste Hindu framework in which householding relates only to the specific stage of life in which one is married and concerned with domestic affairs—was one of the most important social and ritual reforms he introduced. By eliminating the need for an asceticism supported by householders, or in other words the binary framework of lay and renunciant persons, Nanak envisioned the possibility that the rewards of ascetism could accrue to householders. For Sikhs living at Kartarpur, the first intentional Sikh community, established by Guru Nanak as a place of gathering and meditation, Nanak’s egalitarian ideals were practiced so that women and members of all castes were equal participants. Guru Nanak’s model for social and ritual life presents a radical challenge to the hierarchies and exclusions of Hinduism, and yet, contains within it the basis for ongoing caste and gender disparity for Sikhs, since most Sikhs continue to arrange their householding around caste endogamous marriages and social and domestic arrangements which privilege men.

Changing Caste Relations and Emerging Contestations in Punjab
CHANGING CASTE RELATIONS AND EMERGING CONTESTATIONS IN PUNJAB PARAMJIT S. JUDGE When scholars and political leaders characterised Indian society as unity in diversity, there were simultaneous efforts in imagining India as a civilisational unity also. The consequences of this ‘imagination’ are before us in the form of the emergence of religious nationalism that ultimately culminated into the partition of the country. Why have I started my discussion with the issue of religious nationalism and partition? The reason is simple. Once we assume that a society like India could be characterised in terms of one caste hierarchical system, we are essentially constructing the discourse of dominant Hindu civilisational unity. Unlike class and gender hierarchies which are exist on economic and sexual bases respectively, all castes cannot be aggregated and arranged in hierarchy along one axis. Any attempt at doing so would amount to the construction of India as essentially the Hindu India. Added to this issue is the second dimension of hierarchy, which could be seen by separating Varna from caste. Srinivas (1977) points out that Varna is fixed, whereas caste is dynamic. Numerous castes comprise each Varna, the exception to which is the Brahmin caste whose caste differences remain within the caste and are unknown to others. We hardly know how to distinguish among different castes of Brahmins, because there is complete absence of knowledge about various castes among them. On the other hand, there is detailed information available about all the scheduled castes and backward classes. In other words, knowledge about castes and their place in the stratification system is pre- determined by the enumerating agency.

It is made available under aCC-BY-ND 4.0 International license. Genetic Portrait of North-West Indian Population based on X Chromosome Alu Insertion Markers Abstract Alu insertion elements represent the largest family of Short Interspersed Nuclear Elements (SINEs) in the human genome. Polymorphic Alu elements are stable and conservative markers that can potentially be applied in studying human origin and relationships as they are identical by descent and known for lack of insertion in ancestral state. In this study, 10 Alu insertions of X chromosome were utilized to tabulate allele frequency distributions and compute parameters of forensic relevance in the 379 unrelated healthy individuals belonging to four different ethnic groups (Brahmin, Khatri, Jat Sikh and Scheduled Caste) of North-West India. Furthermore, the DA and FST values of pairwise interpopulation differentiations, multidimensional scaling and Bayesian structure clustering analysis were also computed to probe the genetic relationships between present studied populations and with other 21 reference populations. Six X-Alu insertions were observed to be polymorphic in all the populations, whereas the others appeared as monomorphic in at least one studied population. The insertion allele frequencies were in the range of 0.15 at Ya5DP3 to 0.9888 at Ya5DP77. Most polymorphic Alu elements showed moderate to low genetic diversity. The maximum value of power of exclusion (PE) was 0.1645 at Ya5NBC37 marker, whereas the minimum was 0.0001 at Ya5DP4 locus, implying the significance of X chromosome Alu elements in forensic genetic investigations.

"Denotified" Tribes (Vimukt Jatis) of Punjab (North-West India) and Its Social Implication
Final Report on UGC Major Research Project (MRP) Anthropogenetic Profile of "denotified" Tribes (Vimukt Jatis) of Punjab (North-West India) and its Social Implication (From 01/ 04/ 2013 to 31/ 03/ 2017) Submitted to The University Grants Commission, New Delhi by Prof. (Dr.) S. M .S. Chahal Principal Investigator Department of Human Genetics (earlier Department of Human Biology) Punjabi University, Patiala 147002 (Punjab) "Anthropogenetic Profile of "denotified" Tribes (Vimukt Jatis) of Punjab (North-West India) and its Social Implication" INTRODUCTION The “denotified” tribes, also known as the Vimukt Jatis, are the tribes that were originally listed under the Criminal Tribes Act of 1871, as Criminal Tribes and "addicted to the systematic commission of non-bailable offences." Once a tribe became "notified" as criminal, all its members were required to register with the local magistrate, failing which they would be charged with a crime under the Indian Penal Code. The Act was repealed in August 1949 and former "criminal tribes" were “denotified” in 1952, when the Act was replaced with the Habitual Offenders Act 1952 of Government of India, and in 1961 state governments started releasing lists of such tribes. At the time of the independence in 1947, there were 13 million people in 127 communities who faced constant surveillance, search and arrest without warrant if any member of the group was found outside the prescribed area. The creation of these categories should be seen in the context of colonialism. The British authorities listed them separately by creating a category of castes or tribes labeled as criminal. The first Census of India was conducted in 1871 and at that time there was no consensus or any definition of "tribe".

Militarization of Sikh Masculinity Aakriti Kohli
Militarization of Sikh Masculinity Aakriti Kohli ABSTRACT: Critically reading the theoretical and descriptive scholarly work on colonial Punjab, Sikhs, Sikhism and the imperial British Empire, this paper traces how the formation of Sikh martial masculinity rooted in religious tradition was institutionalized into a particular form of militarized masculinity in the colonial period in Punjab, India. Additionally, it explores how the historical construction of masculinity intersects with the contemporary discourses on Sikh identity and masculinity in the diaspora, specifically in Britain. With reference to British Sikhs and their project of reclaiming recognition of their contribution in WWI, the paper goes on to argue that perhaps the projection of Khalsa identity as synonymous with Sikh identity and the performance of Sikh masculinity lies in projecting and representing themselves as warriors, to seek legitimacy from the military of their masculinity in exhibiting war effort. KEYWORDS: masculinity, military, martial, Sikhs, Punjab, Khalsa The dominant perception of Sikhs as martial, brave and willing to sacrifice is re- flected in popular culture at large. By extension and association, Punjab, seen as the homeland of Sikhs, finds itself venerated as the land of the brave, or the land of the lions, if you like. This idea of the Sikh identity and Sikh masculinity in particular is a very real form of consciousness which defines, shapes and configures Sikh masculinity and performance of the male self, and are ideas in which many Sikh men root their identity. As I have argued elsewhere, this particular masculine per- formance does draw its strength from religious rituals and practices.1 It might not Graduate Journal of Social Science November 2016, Vol.

Dakhani Sikhs and the Legacy of Guru Gobind Singh
31 Singh: Dakhani Sikhs Dakhani Sikhs and the Legacy of Guru Gobind Singh Birinder Pal Singh Punjabi University, Patiala, Punjab _______________________________________________________________ The Dakhani Sikhs are residents of the Nizam of Hyderabad’s state of Deccan now trifurcated into three states of Telengana, Maharashtra and Karnataka. Hyderabad and Nanded are the cities with largest population concentration of Sikhs. They claim to be the descendants of the Lahori Fauj of Maharaja Ranjit Singh that arrived in Hyderabad in 1830 at the Nizam’s request to restore law and order in the state. They married local women and adopted local cultural and religious practices too without compromising Sikh tenets. They are particular about their Sikh form and identity and claim to carry the legacy of Guru Gobind Singh who spent the last days of his life at Nanded. They believe themselves to be sustaining the Sikh religion, though the Punjabi Sikhs call them ‘duplicate’ Sikhs. _______________________________________________________________ Two centuries before the last guru, Baba Nanak traversed the terrains of south India including Bidar where now stands Gurdwara Nanak Jhira, an important centre in the Sikh religious itinerary of Nanded. The latter place, however, is known for the last guru’s arrival in the Deccan, and departure to the other world. The overarching pre-eminence of Sach Khand Sri Hazoor Sahib Abchalnagar (gurdwara’s name) at Nanded is more than conspicuous, and so is the influence and significance of Guru Gobind Singh associated with it. It is one of the five seats of Sikh religious authority (takht) and the only one in south India. It assumes importance for the Sikhs since the tenth and the last living guru not only spent the last days of his life there but bestowed gurudom to the Sikh scripture, the Granth Sahib, ordaining: Sab Sikhan ko huqam hai, guru maniyo Granth.

The Char Bagh-I Panjab: Socio-Cultural Configuration
23 J. S. Grewal: Char-i Bagh Panjab The Char Bagh-i Panjab: Socio-Cultural Configuration J.S. Grewal Institute of Punjab Studies, Chandigarh _______________________________________________________________ The descriptive part of the mid-nineteenth century Char Bagh-i Punjab of Ganesh Das in Persian is analysed for evidence on the social and cultural history of the Punjab during the eighteenth and the early nineteenth century. The disparate facts and places in specific space and time by the author are sought to be classified and put together coherently in terms of urbanization; religious beliefs, practices, and institutions of Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs; popular religion; traditional learning, both religious and secular; literature in Persian, Punjabi, Braj and ‘Hindi’ in Perso-Arabic, Gurmukhi and Devanagri scripts; and gender relations, with special regard to conjugal and personal love. The socio-cultural configuration that emerges on the whole from this analysis is given at the end, with the reflection of the author’s personality as a member of the precolonial Punjabi society. Important in itself, this configuration provides the background for an appreciation of socio-cultural change in the colonial Punjab. _______________________________________________________________ Introducton The Char Bagh-i Punjab of Ganesh Das Badhera is by far the most important single source of information for the social and cultural history of the Punjab before its annexation to British India in 1849.* Though a general history from the earliest times to the fall of the kingdom of Lahore in 1849, about three- fourths of the work is devoted to the eighteenth and the early nineteenth century, both in its narrative part which is almost entirely political, and its descriptive part which is almost entirely non-political.
