Foreword To Book 'The Sikh Tradition-A Continuing Reality-Essays in History and Religion' By Sardar Singh Bhatia

The present volume is one of the series of publications that the Punjab University is bringing out as part of its contribution to the celebrations the

Punjabis in general and the Sikhs in particular Thr are holding in connection with the tercentenary of the birth of the Khalsa, that falls on the Baisakhi of

1999. It was on this day in 1699 that Guru Gobind Singh inaugurated the formation of a casteless, classless, egalitarian society of men and women who held be saints in their personal and social lives, but would also be soldiers ever-ready to fight, as and when needed, in the forefront of any struggle against tyranny and injustice.

The idea of the formation of the Khalsa did not descend out of the blue. The Sikh movement had been nurtured and developed deliberately and steadily by the Gurus over the past couple of centuries, so that a wide and well-organised network of dedicated Sikh sangats had already come into existence in the length and breadth of the country by the time Guru Gobind Singh, the Tenth Master, came on the scene. What he achieved was the transmutation of the Sangat into Khalsa, destined to become a sovereign nation. In order, therefore, to fully understand the genesis of the Khalsa, it is necessary to have a glimpse of the background to the historic event of the Baisakhi of 1699.

To provide such a glimpse is the aim of The Sikh Tradition: A Continuing Reality. It is an anthology of essays and articles collected from the past issues of The Journal of Religious Studies, brought out by the Guru Gobind Singh Department of Religious Studies.The contributors are scholars of great eminence. These articles are chosen and arranged in such a scheme as to give a sufficient introduction to Sikh Religion as a living and continuing reality. The book may be seen as prefatory and precursory volume to any reading on the Khalsa.

I am deeply appreciative of Sardar Singh Bhatia and Anand Spencer, Readers in the Guru Gobind Singh Department of Religious Studies, who have

compiled and edited this collection of articles with great hard work and labour. I hope this publication will receive a wide welcome.
