He said, “Oxford University already has chairs and programmes on Christianity, Islam, Hindu, Buddhism and Judaism studies. This fellowship will play a crucial role in strengthening the academic ties between the esteemed university and the Indian diaspora, further fostering understanding and appreciation of Sikh heritage and culture.”
“By advancing research into the guru’s life and teachings, it will help uncover the contemporary relevance of the guru’s profound wisdom and its impact on various aspects of society,” Gill said, adding that the fellowship will engage with partners and communities in India.
