Abstract
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.
