| Summary: | This book is an in-depth and detailed description of the history of the diaspora of Hindus and Sikhs residing Australia. It addresses the varying lifeways, practices and beliefs of both Hinduism and Sikhism in a diasporic environment. Yet general reflections on the Indian Diaspora in Australia merge these two religious sects, with a tangential reflection upon Muslims, placed under the rubric 'Indian'. Such discussions create a platform for additional analyses and comparisons both within Australia and other diasporic communities globally. The book consists of a compilation of fifteen comprehensive and varying chapters authored by twelve scholars which contribute to a description of these communities. |
