Description
This book discusses the dynamics of a mass internal migration in South Asia. It traces the historical roots of certain migrant Sikh communities to the British rule; chronicles their social, religious and economic practices; and examines peculiar identity formations. It examines the socio-economic conditions of Sikhs in the Deccan and the North-East who are believed to be the descendants of the soldiers in Maharaja Ranjit Singh's army despatched to the two regions in the early nineteenth century. It draws on extensive ethnographic accounts to present the social realities of the different communities, including language, religion, culture, occuparion, caste, marriage and kinship and agency.
