RELI 024 - (HP, CC) Introduction to Sikhism: Warrior SaintsSemester Hours: 3
Sikhism is a modern tradition that grappled with the colonizing power of the Mughals and the British. As such, it assumes elements of Indian religions, particularly Buddhism and Hinduism, but also the Abrahamic traditions of Islam and Sufism. The Sikh ideal of the evolved human combines the mystical love of the saint with warrior’s fight for social justice, hence the warrior-saint. This course will introduce students to aspects of Sikh history and teachings contained in its musical revelations, and will cover contemporary issues such as: identity formation and othering, love and mysticism, orientalism and modernity, and religion and science.
