  Explores the formation of the Sikh diaspora and, in so doing, offers a powerful inquiry into conditions of peoplehood, colonialism, and postcoloniality. Demonstrating a new direction for historical anthropology, this book focuses on the position of violence between 1849 and 1998 in the emergence of a trans-national fight for Khalistan.
