Item is an article titled, "On the Moral Sensitivities of Sikhs in North America" by Verne A. Dusenbery. The articles talks about the difference in the moral sensitivities of "Gora Sikhs" and Punjabi Sikhs (especially Jat Sikhs) and the role of difference on the misapprehensions these communities hold about each other. Specifically, it delves into the importance of the notion of "izzat" (honour) for the Jat Sikhs and subsequently, the unimportance of this moral principle to the Gora Sikhs.
