Understanding Sikh Arms And Armour

In Praise of Steel: Understanding Sikh Arms and Armour

If there's one thing that the Sikhs are universally known for, it is their reputation as fearsome warriors. From the times of their sixth spiritual leader, Guru Hargobind, who first took up arms against an oppressive Mughal Empire in the early 17th century, to their largely unsung contribution in the World Wars, the distinctive image of the Sikh as a warrior par excellence has endured for nearly four centuries. But what exactly can be said about the uniqueness of "Sikh" arms and armour? Collector and weapons enthusiast, Davinder Singh Toor, draws upon a wealth of imagery and artifacts from public and private collections around the world to answer this important question.


The Professional & The Wariror

Gurujodha Singh, the African American Sikh Lawyer will be in Calgary Saturday Feb 28, 2009 to discuss his life, his struggle, and his prespective of Sikhism in the west. Along with being a 5th degree black belt Kenpo karate instructor, he is a Kundalini yoga master. Come out with your friends and spread the word!
