| Some reviews | |
| I have faith that this work will not only herald a new era in the field of Women’s Studies, but will also provide a guide map to women activists in reshaping and redesigning their fight for equality, governed by a new insight and greater enthusiasm. I congratulate Mrs Prabhjot Kaur on the completion of this significant work and wish her good luck in her future endeavors. Dr. Jaspal Singh Vice Chancellor Punjabi University Patiala | “An intellectually rich, well researched and lucidly written book that unravels the feminist ideology contained in Sikh philosophy. The author deserves accolades for such an invaluable addition in Sikh Literature.” Dr. Rajesh Gill Professor and Chairperson Departments of Sociology and Women’s Studies, Punjab University, Chandigarh |
| Principal Prabhjot Kaur has dealt with all the gender related problems in a very meticulous way and also has provided solutions in the light of Sikh thought. She has very deftly traced the role of women in the evolution of civilization and how she was denigrated to an inferior position in India as well as other countries of the world. She has also proved beyond doubt that most of problems being faced today have been handled in Guru Granth Sahib. Dr. Acchru Singh, Former Head, Department of English Govt. College, Mansa | The book deftly handles the contribution of Sikh Gurus in ameliorating the status of women in society. Robust, energetic, dynamic and awakened, Sikh women fully inspired by the wave of spiritualism, become the pioneers of the truly liberated female group of the age, on whom the humanity can depend for establishing a new order in society. Dr. Manjit Kaur Associate Professor PGGCG 42 Chd. |
