  • Sikhism Reinterpreted: the Creation of Sikh Identity
    Lake Forest College Lake Forest College Publications Senior Theses Student Publications 4-16-2014 Sikhism Reinterpreted: The rC eation of Sikh Identity Brittany Fay Puller Lake Forest College, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: http://publications.lakeforest.edu/seniortheses Part of the Asian History Commons, History of Religion Commons, and the Religion Commons Recommended Citation Puller, Brittany Fay, "Sikhism Reinterpreted: The rC eation of Sikh Identity" (2014). Senior Theses. This Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by the Student Publications at Lake Forest College Publications. It has been accepted for inclusion in Senior Theses by an authorized administrator of Lake Forest College Publications. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Sikhism Reinterpreted: The rC eation of Sikh Identity Abstract The iS kh identity has been misinterpreted and redefined amidst the contemporary political inclinations of elitist Sikh organizations and the British census, which caused the revival and alteration of Sikh history. This thesis serves as a historical timeline of Punjab’s religious transitions, first identifying Sikhism’s emergence and pluralism among Bhakti Hinduism and Chishti Sufism, then analyzing the effects of Sikhism’s conduct codes in favor of militancy following the human Guruship’s termination, and finally recognizing the identity-driven politics of colonialism that led to the partition of Punjabi land and identity in 1947. Contemporary practices of ritualism within Hinduism, Chishti Sufism, and Sikhism were also explored through research at the Golden Temple, Gurudwara Tapiana Sahib Bhagat Namdevji, and Haider Shaikh dargah, which were found to share identical features of Punjabi religious worship tradition that dated back to their origins.

  • Harpreet Singh
    FROM GURU NANAK TO NEW ZEALAND: Mobility in the Sikh Tradition and the History of the Sikh Community in New Zealand to 1947 Harpreet Singh A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, The University of Otago, 2016. Abstract Currently the research on Sikhs in New Zealand has been defined by W. H. McLeod’s Punjabis in New Zealand (published in the 1980s). The studies in this book revealed Sikh history in New Zealand through the lens of oral history by focussing on the memory of the original settlers and their descendants. However, the advancement of technology has facilitated access to digitised historical documents including newspapers and archives. This dissertation uses these extensive databases of digitised material (combined with non-digital sources) to recover an extensive, if fragmentary, history of South Asians and Sikhs in New Zealand. This dissertation seeks to reconstruct mobility within Sikhism by analysing migration to New Zealand against the backdrop of the early period of Sikh history. Covering the period of the Sikh Gurus, the eighteenth century, the period of the Sikh Kingdom and the colonial era, the research establishes a pattern of mobility leading to migration to New Zealand. The pattern is established by utilising evidence from various aspects of the Sikh faith including Sikh institutions, scripture, literature, and other historical sources of each period to show how mobility was indigenous to the Sikh tradition. It also explores the relationship of Sikhs with the British, which was integral to the absorption of Sikhs into the Empire and continuity of mobile traditions that ultimately led them to New Zealand.

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.

  • The Bangladeshi Diaspora in the United States
    RAD Diaspora Profile Prepared for the Rockefeller Foundation-Aspen Institute Diaspora Program (RAD) The Bangladeshi Diaspora in the United States July 2014 Summary Approximately 277,000 Bangladeshi immigrants and their children (the first and second generations) live in the United States, accounting for a small share of the total U.S. foreign- born population: 0.5 percent. About half of all Bangladeshi immigrants arrived in the United States during or after 2000 (48 percent), meaning that this is a relatively recently settled population. Nevertheless, a majority of Bangladeshi immigrants have become U.S. citizens. Bangladeshi immigrants in the United States have a median age of 39, and the vast majority of the population is working age (84 percent). The children of Bangladeshi immigrants (the sec- ond generation) have a median age of 9, and only 20 percent are working age. Seventy-nine percent of those in the second generation have both a mother and father who were born in Bangladesh—the second highest proportion with both parents born in the country of origin out of the 15 groups studied in the Rockefeller Foundation-Aspen Institute Diaspora Program 1 DIASPORA(RAD) analysis (after India). The Bangladeshi diaspora population is better educated than the general U.S population and has a higher household income level. Diaspora members are more likely to have bach- elor’s degrees than the U.S. population overall, and they are more than twice as likely to hold advanced degrees. Bangladeshi diaspora households have a median income of $54,000, or $4,000 above the median for all U.S.

  • Bangladeshi Muslims in Mississippi: Impression Management Based on the Intersectionality of Religion, Ethnicity, and Gender
    Bangladeshi Muslims in Mississippi: Impression management based on the intersectionality of religion, ethnicity, and gender Tahseen Shams UCLA Department of Sociology [email protected] forthcoming, Cultural Dynamics Abstract The existing literature on Muslims in post-9/11 America largely focuses on cities where Muslims are organized and visible in large numbers. This interview-based qualitative study instead focuses on Bangladeshi Muslims in Mississippi. Using intersectionality and impression management as analytical tools, I explore how these individuals negotiate their identities to navigate interactions with Mississippi’s predominantly white Christian society. I identify three patterns of impression management: distancing religious identity, highlighting ethnicity, and confronting stereotypes. These patterns provide insight into the conceptual tools used as well as the overarching racial dynamics in America. Keywords Muslims, Intersectionality, Impression Management, Ethnicity, Gender, Religion 1 Bangladeshi Muslims in Mississippi: Impression management based on the intersectionality of religion, ethnicity, and gender Introduction Every year on September 11, I want to take the day off from work. I am a hard-worker. I am polite. I try to quietly get along with everyone else. But, there is always that feeling that I don’t fit in. The people I work with know I am Muslim; that I come from Bangladesh, a country most of my co-workers hadn’t even heard of before. I have a thick beard. I am dark-skinned. I talk with a heavy accent. It’s like the people don’t know what to do with me. They are curious and filled with dread at the same time. At work, people usually don’t include me in their conversations.
