Sikhism at a Glance

The Sikhs follow an eclectic, non-esoteric and non-denominational religion that preaches simplicity, monotheism and egalitarianism devoid of meaningless ritual and priestly dominance. The Sikh people are known for their Sewa (selfless service) and Langars (community kitchen). These two institutions are an outcome of the three pillars of Sikhism: Work, Worship and Charity. Where ever there is tragedy or calamity and human misery, the Sikhs will be found with their langars doing sewa. The Rohingya Muslims and Tamil farmer's agitation in Delhi are recent examples. This book is a narration of the religion of the Sikhs; it is a simple statement of facts and figures.
