Rahuldeep Singh Gill and Sikh Studies: A Reflection – Nirvikar Singh

Winter 2022
Introduction
This paper aims to summarize and evaluate the contributions of Rahuldeep Singh Gill to the field
of Sikh Studies, and to acquaint new readers with these contributions. In some respects,
Rahuldeep Gill occupied a unique position in the field. As I will argue, he was not only an
accomplished, significant scholar of key aspects of Sikh history, but also a perceptive analyst and
fearless commentator on the role of religion and religious diversity in contemporary society. I
will argue that these two facets of Rahuldeep’s career had an integral connection, and that this
combination represents an important role model for other scholars in the field of Sikh Studies.
