ABOUT THE BOOK
Human Rights in Sikhism is a comprehensive study of the human rights vision embedded within Sikh philosophy and teachings. Drawing upon Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Gurbani, historical accounts, and practical examples, the book highlights Sikhism's enduring commitment to justice, equality, human dignity, and social responsibility. Emerging in the fifteenth century amid social and religious upheaval, Sikhism challenged caste discrimination, oppression, and inequality while advocating the universal brotherhood of humanity. The book demonstrates how many principles later articulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) were already present in Sikh teachings centuries earlier.
The work systematically explores civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights through key Sikh principles such as kirat karo (honest living), vand chhako (sharing with others), and seva (selfless service). It further examines the Sikh vision of a just social order through the concept of Halemi Raj, emphasizing the integration of spirituality with ethical responsibility and active resistance against injustice. Bridging religious philosophy with contemporary human rights discourse, the book serves as a valuable resource for scholars of Religious and Sikh Studies, researchers of Political Science and Human Rights, policy thinkers, and readers interested in Sikhism and human rights discourse.
