From The Front Cover Of 'Political Ethics Of Guru Granth Sahib' By Gurdeep Kaur

This is the first work of its kind as most of the Sikh literature produced so far has been theological in nature. Sikhism is, by and large, a religious way of life. To search for a coherent co-is stent political theory, as has been done in the present book, is really a hard task involving penetrating insights into the holy text, Guru Sahib. The author, Dr. Gurdeep Kaur, ade it possible for us to know the linkages between ethics and politics in the Gurbani. While end of modern political theory is to establish a secular ground for an inevitable divorce between religion and politics, the question of theory building demands a revised look. If the hypothesis of this work is to be accepted, the modern trend needs to reversed by adoption of religious alternative. Perhaps, India would herald a new typology of post-modernism in the construction of political theory. The author deserves congratulations for adding a brick to oriental structure of thought.
