Cynthia Mahmood (Philadelphia: Xlibris, 2001).

Sikhism, a religion of twenty million people with its heartland in India, is one of the least-understood traditions in the world. The state of Punjab in which the majority of Sikhs live has been the site of a serious conflict in the past two decades. This book contains ten essays on Sikh militancy, religious conflict in India, and human rights. Drawing on sources used in judicial, political and academic arenas, as well as a grass-roots perspective rooted in anthropology, Mahmood explores the complex maze that is contemporary India and the Indian diaspora.
