**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**

The total Sikh population is approximately sixteen million, roughly equivalent to the number of Jews in the world. Sikhs have received increasing notice in recent years, partly from emigration and partly because of troubles in their homeland, Punjab. McLeod provides a thorough survey of Sikhism and what Sikhs refer to as Gurmat, or the teachings of the Guru. The dictionary includes brief articles on doctrine that show how Sikhism differs from Hinduism and Islam, and discusses rituals and ceremonies, holy places and famous gurdwaras (Sikh temples), institutions (such as the Khalsa and its Rahit, or code of conduct), literature, and Sikh society.
