ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the Sikh Internet: a collection of websites assembled around the human category of “Sikh” – “Sikh” as a faith-based practice, identity, lifestyle, and body of knowledge. I interrogate how the Internet intensifies identities, discuss the rise of Sikh websites, and trace various consolidating narratives and frameworks of Sikhi and Sikh life/identity these sites construct. For Sikhs, the Internet provides spaces through which the faith and its associated identities and practices can be debated and ultimately standardized. I structure this chapter around the history of various Sikh websites, their objectives, and the vision of Sikh subjectivity hey project.
