ABSTRACT

The paper looks at Sikh educational thought along with the development of the religion since 15th century. The emphasis on distinct Sikh identity and its diversity has been written about in detail. The paper argues that the Sikhs viewed education as a key source of marking a distinct identity for the community. In carving their identity as ‘Sikhs’ during colonial times and a minority after Independence, the community imagined its educational institutions as serving the purpose of schooling ‘Sikh’ children into adopting the ‘ideal’ identity. This emphasis has been revived in the post-modern era under changing socio-political circumstances in India.

摘要

本文着眼于15世纪以来锡克教的教育思想以及宗教的发展。关于独特的锡克教徒身份及其多样性的强调已经详细论述。该论文认为，锡克教徒将教育视为标志社区独特身份的重要来源。在殖民地时期和独立后的少数派中，他们以“锡克教徒”的身份来雕刻时，社区认为其教育机构的目的是教育“锡克教徒”的孩子采用“理想”的身份。在后现代时代，在印度不断变化的社会政治环境下，这种强调得到了恢复。
