H. McLeod is a New Zealander and is Emeritus Professor at the University of Otago in Dunedin.

All of his books and most of his published articles concern Sikh history, religion, and sociology. W. H. McLeod is the author of Guru Nanak and the Sikh Religion (1968), The Evolution of the Sikh Community (1976), Early Sikh Tradition (1980), Who is a Sikh? (1989), Exploring Sikhism (2000), and Sikhs of the Khalsa (forthcoming).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the Book:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA comprehensive dictionary of terms, concepts, events, and personalities in the study of the Sikh religion and history, the Historical Dictionary of Sikhism has been compiled by one of the most renowned authorities in Sikh Studies.
