It is name, given to a group of writers, who have been (and are) producing books to distort, defame, misrepresent Sikhism and the Sikh literature. This group include: Bute Shah, Earnest Trump, Shardha Ram Phillauri, W. H. McLeod [known to be the ring-leader of the Anti-Sikhism School; now dead], J. S. Grewal, Harjot Oberoi, Pishaura Sinh, Gurinder Maan, Ian Mulgrew (Canada), Rudy Thomsen (Denmark), Arvind Mandair (Michigen) etc. Mohinder Singh (Bhai Vir Singh Sahitya Sadan Delhi), S.S.Dhanoa, I. J. Singh (New York) etc. too have collaborated with this group in one or another way. In fact, with the exception of Dr. Noel Q. King, most of the non-Sikh writers, while writing about the Sikhs, have collaborated with the “Anti-Sikhism School” in one or another manner. Nikky Guninder has also been accepted by this group since she married an American Christian after divorcing her Sikh husband.
Their writings are full of willful false information, distortion and mutilation of the Sikh history and philosophy; hence anti-Sikh propaganda. Some of these persons have written entries about the Sikhs and Sikhism for some Encyclopedias, including the Britannica Encyclopedia. These entries are full of malicious and mischievous material. There seems to be an international anti-Sikh conspiracy, as all the writings of these persons, notwithstanding their commercial and academic value, are published by some famous publishing houses like Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, Penguins etc. Similarly, only the persons belonging to this school are being appointed to the chairs/departments of the Sikh studies in the universities in the western countries
