  • Contemporary Evidence on Sikh Rites and Rituals in the Eighteenth Century
    179 Karamjit K. Malhotra: Sikh Rites and Rituals Contemporary Evidence on Sikh Rites and Rituals in the Eighteenth Century Karamjit K Malhotra Panjab University, Chandigarh ________________________________________________________________ This paper on Sikh rites and rituals analyses the whole range of contemporary evidence on the eighteenth century in three phases for observing continuity and change in the rites of initiation, birth, marriage and death. The Sikh sources are relevant for all the three phases, the Persian sources associated with the Mughal empire are relevant for the first, and the European accounts for the third. Two major findings emerge from this study: the continuity of normative statements on Sikh rites and rituals in which the Brahman priest and Brahmanical scriptures had no role, and there was a large degree of correspondence between the normative statements and empirical evidence on Sikh rites and rituals. _______________________________________________________________ Introduction No historian of the Sikhs has brought rites and rituals of the Sikhs during the eighteenth century directly into focus. Harjot Oberoi, for example, looks upon rituals as ‘a key element in the construction of religious identity’, and underlines the importance of the ‘rites of passage’ for Sikh identity. He maintains that prior to the Khalsa transformation, the Sikhs possessed only a fluid identity, and did not think of ‘a distinct set of life-cycle rituals’. The Khalsa introduced new rites related to birth, initiation and death which ‘endowed an individual with a new and bounded identity’ to demarcate the Khalsa from the rest of the ‘civil society’. Oberoi presents these rituals in a few paragraphs on the Chaupa Singh Rahitnama which he places between 1750 and 1765.

Sikhism, as determined by the number of its adherents, is one of the ten great religions of the world. Its principles of monotheism, egalitarianism and proactive martyrdom for freedom of faith represent major evolutionary steps in the development of religious philosophies. Arnold Toynbee, the great world historian, observed: "Mankind's religious future may be obscure; yet one thing can be foreseen. The living higher religions are going to influence each other more than ever before in the days ofincreasing communication between all parts of the world and all branches of the human race. In this coming religious debate, the Sikh religion, and its scripture, the Adi Granth, will have something of special value to say to the rest of the world." Notwithstanding such glowing appreciation oftheir role, information about the Sikhs'contribution to world culture has been very scantily propagated. Bhai Vir Singh, the modem doyen ofSikh world of letters, took upon himself to provide valuable historical accounts of the Sikh way of life.

  • Baisakhi of 1699
    Baisakhi Day of 1699: The Birth of the Khalsa The first day of the month of Baisakh (March / April) is celebrated with a great deal of enthusiasm in Punjab. The festival marks the end of the previous agricultural cycle and the beginning of a new one. Baisakhi marks the beginning of a new year for a Punjabi farmers. The wheat crop is ready to be harvested in the villages and the farmers rejoice at the prospect of abundant food available to feed their families for the rest of the year with enough left over to sell in the market place to raise cash to pay off the personal loans and meet other family needs! The farmer families celebrate the festival by singing and dancing bhangra and giddha. Guru Amar Das turned the Baisakhi festival into a day for visiting the Guru. Later, Guru Gobind Singh chose the Baisakhi day of 1699 (30 March) to inaugurate the Khalsa Panth; there is a difference of opinion as to the exact year of the birth of the Khalsa ranging from 1689 to 1699. At this point one may ask what led to the birth of the Khalsa? There is no short answer to this question. The idea of the Khalsa Panth seems to have evolved in Guru Gobind Singh’s mind over a period of time. Main facts may be recounted as follows. First, Guru Tegh Bahadur (his father) was beheaded on orders from Emperor Aurangzeb in 1675; it is a story by itself to be told another time. The Sikhs in Dehli were paralyzed with fear so that no one came forward to claim the Guru’s remains for several days until one Sikh (Lakhi Shah Lubana) came up with a clever idea, at some cost to him.
