ABSTRACT

Surendranath Dasgupta, A History of Indian Philosophy, II, XIV (1932) 6 Sikhism attempts to effect a synthesis of the two streams of religious

consciousness. Essentially it lies in the authentic pattern of the way of life of Indian humanity, enlivened by the perennial themes of Hindu philosophy. But it has shown great sensitiveness to the essential truths enshrined in the other streams. In this it is primarily indebted to Islam.
