Preface: n
Overview: The book is by a muslim and discusses Sikh history at the time of Mughals.  It includes details of guru Arjan's execution by the Mughal and to what extent hindus were responsible for it, and discusses the martyrdom of Tegh Bahadur.  Not having read the entire book, I get the impression it is a muslim's perspective on Sikh-mughal relations and history.  It is worth reading for this perspective.  The author is sympathetic of Sikhs and Sikhi because he was saved by one (Sahab Singh) and delivered to his family, at the time of Partition.

Overview: "this book was conceived to discover, afresh, the essential doctrinal sovereignty of Sikhism in contemporary context, idiom and (ontological, epistimological) categories of thought…If Sikhism has to play its due role in the making of the new global civilization ...the Sikh community would have to update its contemporary praxis and re-orientate its mindset." [This is a load of unintelligible words, typical of pompous writers trying to dazzle with their vocabulary but at the same time denying readers of the understanding they seek and expect.]  The book is about Sikh identity and its distinct form separate from Hinduism; about the relationship of Sikhi with Marxism, and the significance of Jats.  The book "is considered an authoritative text on Sikh philosophy."

Publn 1978 (original publication date: 1966)
Location: shelf 16.5 SGSSS library
Language: English
Preface: n
Overview: The book compares the two religions and also mentions relations between Sikhs and muslims during the time of the gurus.  The author says "I am also indebted to SGPC Amritsar for purchasing its copies in bulk for presentation to Muslim dignatories visiting Golden Temple and other historical Sikh shrines."  It is possible, in my opinion, that the book is not a critical assessment of relations between followers of the two religions nor a critical account of islam and its aspects that are not accepted by Sikhs, and vice versa.  It might therefore lean towards the positives and ignore or downplay the negatives for the sake of relations with muslims.  There is a bibliography.

The response to Madan in this booklet, covers the Sikh religion; the Punjab problem; Indian secularism; secularism-its problems, and ends with a conclusion.  There is a reference section.

Title: Lectures of Maskin ji

ISBN: none
Publn date: 1977 (original publication date: 1977)
Location: shelf 5.5 SGSSS library
Language: English
Preface: y
Overview: The book is a translation by Tharam Singh of Maskin's lectures.  They have been compiled and published by Anokh Singh.  The value of reading his material is because Maskin "had made a deep study of the religious and historical texts of the Indian religions." so his material might provide comparisons of Sikhi philosopy and thought to that of other religions. There is also a short biography on Maskin.  There is no Contents so not easy to see  the subject of each lecture, but I think they are on various aspects of Sikhi, including: "the complete man".
