Title: Politics of Sikhism's Evolution and Consequences thereof.

About the talk: From a rudimentary collective after the tenth Guru... Sikhism as an organized religion, evolved through many political challenges from extant religions. While surviving various onslaughts for a couple of centuries, it finally took control of its institutions that still bear scars of the violence done to the original thought of the 10 gurus initiated by Guru Nanak's teachings.
