The Religion of the Sikhs  (Paperback, Dorothy Field)

Dorothy Field (1881–1951) was a British author and scholar who had a deep interest in the religions and cultures of India. "The Religion of the Sikhs" is one of her notable works, and it aimed to introduce Sikhism to a Western audience by exploring its history, beliefs, practices, and cultural context. The book covers various aspects of Sikhism, including the life and teachings of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, the development of Sikh philosophy, the importance of the Guru Granth Sahib (the Sikh holy scripture), and the distinctive symbols and practices associated with Sikh identity. Dorothy Field's work contributed to a greater understanding of Sikhism outside of its traditional cultural and geographic context. "The Religion of the Sikhs" remains a valuable resource for those seeking an introduction to Sikh beliefs and practices, as well as the historical and cultural influences that have shaped the Sikh faith.
