This book is an analytical study of the Sikh Gurus’ perception of women and their societal roles with an emphasis on their impact of the religious ideology on gender dynamics. Sikhism stands apart because of the respectful position granted towards women. This book explores how these religious perspectives shaped social relation and evolution of the Sikh community (Sikh Panth), and whether there existed major differences in the view and ideologies of Sikh Gurus, contemporary Bhakti saints and Guru Nanak himself. The book also seeks to examine the influence of Sikh Gurus’ on patriarchal ideology, and whether there existed a gap between the normative beliefs and operative realities. The book attempts to connect with the past and comprehend the nuanced message of the Sikh Gurus who advocated for a more gender sensitive society.
