Centuries before sociology emerged as a formal discipline, Guru Nanak confronted caste, inherited privilege, exploitation, empty ritual, and the misuse of authority. More importantly, he offered practical ways of building a fairer society through honest work, sharing, service, sangat, and langar.

Guru Nanak: A Sociologist Before Sociology explores how these teachings protected human dignity and created community without demanding conversion or judging people by religion or social status. It also considers their striking relationship to the modern welfare state, where public institutions seek to support people through common rights and shared responsibility.

Written for readers of every faith and none, this book presents Guru Nanak’s social vision as a living message for a divided world.
