With Diwali out of the way, well almost, let us reflect on the celebration.
You would have seen photos of Harmandir Sahib, popularly known as the Golden Temple, all brightly lighted up on Diwali day. It certainly looks resplendent. But does it make Diwali a Sikh celebration?
Then, there are those who tell us that Sikhs are actually celebrating Bandhi Chor Divas: the day Guru Hargobind Sahib was released from the Gwalior prison by Emperor Jahangir.
In an article entitled ‘Diwali and Sikhi’, Karminder Singh Dhillon examines the arguments.
The article was published in the latest issues of The Sikh Bulletin (September-October 2016).
