ABSTRACT

The field of Sikh Studies has arrived in the Western Academy along with a rich experience of growing pains during the last three decades. The vocal opposition of ultra-conservative fringe groups in the Sikh diaspora frequently managed to gain a dominant voice in community media effectively trolling, harassing, and marginalizing progressive scholarly voices. There is an urgent need to understand this phenomenon in the context of the Punjab crisis.
