[Reader-list] Love Sans Gurdwaras

[Pukhraj Singh]

Love Sans Gurdwaras:

A fast-paced travelogue, partly ethnographic and deliberately
disjointed. Briefly depicting the underlying militant pluralism and
religious subcultures of Punjab; retaining the overall theme that
spiritual love manages to exist beyond the confines of the gurdwara.
It is provoking the reader to go visit the places and talk to the
people there, instead of succumbing to armchair opinions.

"The galloping horses of Afghani lineage, the spears whizzing by; the
bloodshot eyes of Nihangs stoned on sulfa (cannabis), ravening, as
dozens of goats get slaughtered for the evening feast—primal Punjab is
at play there."
