Introduction: "Shoot the Pakis!": the art of storytelling -- Deconstructing Sikhs: what's in a name? -- The development of the Sikh diaspora -- A history of conflict -- Explaining conflict -- Sweet seduction: "Forced" conversion narratives -- Accounting for Sikh and Muslim conflict -- Sikhs and the British ethnoscapes -- Sikh not Muslim: Questioning Sikh Islamophobia -- "Who is a Sikh?"
Conflict between Sikhs and Muslims is often remarked upon but rarely investigated rigorously. Such conflict is typically described as being due to angry youth or ethnic hatred and religious passions. This book interrogates such explanations, by focusing upon the relationship between diaspora and the articulation of a postcolonial Sikh identity.
