  • Reading Modern Punjabi Poetry: from Bhai Vir Singh to Surjit Patar
    185 Tejwant S. Gill: Modern Punjabi Poetry Reading Modern Punjabi Poetry: From Bhai Vir Singh to Surjit Patar Tejwant Singh Gill Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar ________________________________________________ The paper evaluates the specificity of modern Punjabi poetry, along with its varied and multi-faceted readings by literary historians and critics. In terms of theme, form, style and technique, modern Punjabi poetry came upon the scene with the start of the twentieth century. Readings colored by historical sense, ideological concern and awareness of tradition have led to various types of reactions and interpretations. ________________________________________________________________ Our literary historians and critics generally agree that modern Punjabi poetry began with the advent of the twentieth century. The academic differences which they have do not come in the way of this common agreement. In contrast, earlier critics and historians, Mohan Singh Dewana the most academic of them all, take the modern in the sense of the new only. Such a criterion rests upon a passage of time that ushers in a new way of living. How this change then enters into poetic composition through theme, motif, technique, form, and style is not the concern of critics and historians who profess such a linear view of the modern. Mohan Singh Dewana, who was the first scholar to write the history of Punjabi literature, did not initially believe that something innovative came into being at the turn of the past century. If there was any change, it was not for the better. In his path-breaking History of Punjabi Literature (1932), he bemoaned that a sharp decline had taken place in Punjabi literature.

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.

  • Interfaith Dialogue: a Perspective from Sikhism Abstract Introduction
    Abstracts of Sikh Studies, Vol XXII, Issue 4, Oct.-Dec. 2020, Institute of Sikh Studies, Chandigarh, India Interfaith Dialogue: A Perspective from Sikhism Dr. Devinder Pal Singh* Center for Understanding Sikhism, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada [email protected] Abstract Interfaith dialogue is perceived as the best mechanism to build mutual understanding and respect among people of different faiths. Although the Interfaith movement can be traced back to the late 19th century, it gained an unprecedented prominence in the years following 9/11. In Western democracies, interfaith initiatives have been enlisted as part of wider multiculturalist responses to the threat of radicalization. Despite, interfaith dialogue's recent emergence on the world stage, it has been an active component of ancient Indian religious traditions. Sikh Gurus' compositions, and their way of life, reveal that they were among the pioneers of interfaith dialogue in their time. They remained in continuous dialogue with other faiths throughout their lifetimes. For them, the real purpose of the interchange was to uphold the true faith in the Almighty Creator and to make it relevant to contemporary society. With this intent, they approached the fellow Muslims and Hindus and tried hard to rejuvenate the real spirit of their respective religions. Guru Nanak's travels to various religious centers of diverse faiths; his life long association with Bhai Mardana (a Muslim); Guru Arjan Dev's inclusion of the verses of the saint- poets of varied faiths, in Sri Guru Granth Sahib; Guru Hargobind's construction of Mosque for Muslims; and Guru Teg Bahadur's laying down of his life for the cause of Hinduism, are just a few examples of the initiatives taken by the Sikh Gurus in this field.
