ABSTRACT

Despite significant advances in Sikh studies, Sikh nationalism is still poorly understood. As a complex community with competing narratives of self-identity – as a religion, as an ethnicity, and as a global and national minority (in India and in the diaspora) – Sikh nationalism requires an integrated framework that recognises the rich symbolic heritage and how the nation and state-building projects of India and Pakistan have defined Sikh politics. Such a framework also needs to rethink the role of the diaspora as the agent of long-distance nationalism against the background of the rise of religious nationalisms.

理解锡克民族主义

摘要

尽管锡克教研究取得了重大进展，但锡克教民族主义仍然知之甚少。作为一个具有相互竞争的自我认同叙事的复杂社区——作为一种宗教、作为一个种族、作为全球和少数民族（在印度和散居国外）——锡克教民族主义需要一个综合框架来承认丰富的象征性遗产以及如何印度和巴基斯坦的国家和国家建设项目定义了锡克教政治。在宗教民族主义兴起的背景下，这样的框架还需要重新思考侨民作为远距离民族主义代理人的作用。
