Abstract
The essay throws light on the origin and development of Gurmat literature from the perspective literary and historical tradition. Gurmat literature is closely associated with the contemporary socio-historical contexts, yet its poetics and creative-norms are directly or indirectly influenced by predecessing or contemporary poetic traditions. It has a special relationship with medieval Indian Sidh-Nath-Sant literature and Bhakti literature. � 2023 selection and editorial matter, Rana Nayar, Alpna Saini and Tania Bansal; individual chapters, the contributors; individual translations, the translators. � 2023 selection and editorial matter, Rana Nayar, Alpna Saini and Tania Bansa.
