📖 Overview

SikhLibrary centralizes Sikh scripture, exegesis, history, and scholarship — scanned, OCR'd, and machine-readable — into a single, standardized research corpus. It exists so that Sikh scholars, students, and AI/NLP researchers no longer have to hunt across dozens of scattered archives, out-of-print books, and regional digital libraries to find primary source material.

This is a living, actively-maintained dataset. Every release is documented in the Version History below, and every identifiable source and copyright holder in the corpus is disclosed in License, Copyright & Attribution — not just the top-level license, but the actual publishers, digitizers, and rights-holders found printed inside the scanned works themselves.

If you are a researcher, educator, or developer working on Sikh studies, Gurmukhi NLP, or Punjabi-language AI, this dataset is built for you.

🏆 Why This Is the Largest Open-Source Sikh Dataset

As of September 2026, a systematic search of Hugging Face's public and gated datasets for sikh, gurbani, and punjabi found no other open text corpus at this scale dedicated to the Sikh community. Every comparable result was either:

• an audio/ASR corpus (kirtan or sehaj-path transcription), not a text-scholarship corpus;
• a question-answering or classification set of a few hundred to a few thousand rows; or
• a single-work extract (e.g., a Mahan Kosh-only corpus).

SikhLibrary is, to our knowledge, the only Sikh-focused corpus spanning ~1.07 billion words, 3,616+ distinct works, 115 author/source collections, and 26+ languages in one place — larger by orders of magnitude than anything else tagged for this community on the Hub.

We are not claiming this lightly, and we want to be proven wrong if we are: if you know of a larger open-source Sikh-community text corpus, please open a Discussion — we will verify it and correct this claim.

📚 What This Dataset Provides

• Primary scripture — Sri Guru Granth Sahib, Sri Dasam Granth, Sri Sarbloh Granth, and Nitnem banis, including multilingual translations.
• Exegesis & commentary (Teekas/Steeks) — word-by-word meanings and classical commentaries, including Guru Granth Sahib Darpan (Prof. Sahib Singh), the Faridkot Wala Teeka, and dozens of others.
• The complete Mahan Kosh — Bhai Kahan Singh Nabha's Gurushabad Ratnakar Mahan Kosh (1930), the great Sikh encyclopedia-dictionary, as structured JSON across 28 language/script editions sharing one entry ID.
• 86 dedicated single-author archives — the collected works of named Sikh scholars, historians, theologians, and saints (Bhai Vir Singh, Prof. Sahib Singh, Giani Sant Singh Maskeen, Dr. Ganda Singh, and 82 others), plus several Western/colonial-era chroniclers.
• Historical chronicles & colonial-era ethnographies — Punjab gazetteers, colonial administrative records, and 19th–20th century Western scholarship on the Sikhs.
• Reference & discourse corpora — a combined Punjabi dictionary (87,636 entries), katha transcripts (1,179 recordings), a katha-terms glossary, sakhi stories, and detailed per-Guru biographical pages.
• Academic literature — theses, dissertations, and peer-reviewed monographs on Sikh history, theology, and identity.

Every item above is traceable to a real top-level folder in the repository — see the next section.

🕐 Version History

Version	Date	Files	Δ Files	What changed
2.0 — Initial Public Release	2026-03-30	626	—	First publication on Hugging Face. Note: the project's own first release was already versioned "2.0" — no separate v1.0 was ever published here. Five core folders (Gurbani, Steeks, Granths, Literature, Research); 758,354,306 words self-reported at the time. Licensed CC BY 4.0 at launch.
2.0 — License tightened	2026-04-12	—	—	License changed from CC BY 4.0 to the current, more conservative CC BY-NC-ND 4.0, less than two weeks after launch.
2.0 — The Grand Literary Expansion	2026-05-30	5,629	+5,003	The largest single restructuring to date: transformed the repository from a small core-scripture database into a library of individual named-author archives, using an OCR/extraction pipeline built on OpenRouter (Gemini 1.5 Flash-Lite, Gemma 4 31B).
2.1 — Multilingual Scripture & Reference Expansion	2026-08-28	9,899	+4,270	Back-filled ~1.2 GB from the sikhi.io/sikharchive.net production database: Dasam Granth in 12 languages, Sarbloh Granth in 12 languages, Faridkot Wala Teeka in 7 languages, full-text OCR for Sri Gur Pratap Suraj Granth (11,180 pages) and eight other steeks/granths, ~45 additional colonial-era and historical books, plus reference/discourse corpora (Punjabi dictionary, katha transcripts, sakhi stories, per-Guru biographies).
3.0 — The Mahan Kosh Multilingual Expansion	2026-09-03	9,977	+78	Mirrored the complete redroyals/mahan-kosh-multilingual project (Sikhi.io): Bhai Kahan Singh Nabha's Mahan Kosh as structured JSON, 64,218 entries × 28 language/script editions, ~723 MB, released in honour of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji's 350th year of sacrifice.
3.1 — The Production Library Sync & Copyright Audit	2026-09-10 → 2026-09-16	23,366	+13,389	A 66-batch automated sync from the sikhi.io production database added 2,475 new works. Followed by a full documentation overhaul: independently re-verified word count (~1.07B, replacing the long-stale self-reported figure), a corpus-wide structural + content-level copyright audit, and a complete named-author/source attribution index.
3.1 — General Folder Reorganization	2026-09-16	23,366	0 (moves only)	The generic catch-all "General" folder (4,380 files / 730 works) was eliminated. Each work's front matter was actually read by an LLM classification pass (not filename matching, which was tried first and rejected — see below) and routed into an existing named-author folder (138 works, byline-confirmed) or the best-fitting existing thematic folder (592 works); 1 genuinely indeterminate fragment went to "Unknown Authors." Executed as 4,380 server-side file moves; 3 title collisions with pre-existing content were disambiguated rather than overwritten. Also fixed 3 pre-existing folder-name inconsistencies (two trailing-space duplicates, one misspelling: "Maucliffe" → "Macauliffe") discovered during the move, merging ~400 further files into their correct canonical folder. Top-level collection count: 116 → 115.

Word counts prior to v3.1 were self-reported at each release and, as this audit discovered, were never recomputed after the 2026-05-30 and 2026-08-28 expansions — meaning the "808,354,306" figure quoted through early September 2026 undercounted the true corpus substantially. The ~1.07 billion figure now shown is independently measured; see Data Quality & Known Limitations for the method.

⚖️ License, Copyright & Attribution

The license

This dataset is provided under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 (Attribution–NonCommercial–NoDerivatives).

One exception: Granths/Mahan_Kosh_Multilingual/ is mirrored from an upstream project released under the more permissive CC BY 4.0. Its own LICENSE file is kept alongside the data at that path.

You may: download and share the files unmodified, and use them for personal study, academic research, and other non-commercial purposes. You may not: modify the files; use any part of the dataset commercially; or redistribute a modified or derived version.

The audit: what license & copyright information actually exists in this corpus

No structured license or rights metadata exists anywhere in the corpus outside the one LICENSE file above — we scanned all 23,366 filenames and every manifest/metadata/source JSON file, and the per-book JSON schema is limited to pdf_name and pages, with no rights field. But most scanned books preserve their own original title and copyright page as OCR'd text, so the underlying publisher, digitizer, or rights-holder is usually still recoverable from the work itself. Two passes were run against the live corpus (September 2026) to recover this:

1. Filename-tag scan (exact, 100% coverage) — many files carry their source as a literal (Domain.com) suffix in the filename.
2. Front-matter content scan (~84% coverage) — the first ~6,000 characters of all 10,799 .txt files were fetched and searched for publisher/copyright keywords (9,086 of 10,799 files were successfully retrieved; the rest were skipped, so the figures below are lower bounds).

Source (as printed in the work)	Role	Works found
GurmatVeechar.com	digitization / hosting (in filename)	509 (exact)
sikhi.io	production-library source tag (in filename)	4 bulk archives (exact)
Punjabi University, Patiala (Publication Bureau)	original publisher	≥358
SGPC (Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee)	original publisher	≥194
Panjab Digital Library (panjabdigilib.org)	digitizer	≥158
Bhai Vir Singh Sahit Sadan, New Delhi	copyright holder	≥137
Damdami Taksal	publisher / copyright holder	≥78
Sri Satguru Jagjit Singh Ji E-Library ("Namdhari E-Library," NamdhariElibrary@gmail.com)	digitizer	≥40
Language Department, Punjab	original publisher	≥37
Oxford University Press	copyright holder (modern academic monographs)	≥32
Human Rights Watch	copyright holder (modern reports — see caution)	≥32
Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh Trust	copyright holder	≥26
Internet Archive	digitizer	≥23
Google Books	digitizer	≥20
Guru Nanak Foundation, Bhatinda	copyright holder	≥11
ProQuest LLC / UMI Dissertation Publishing	copyright holder (doctoral dissertation)	≥1

Two of these are worth flagging explicitly, since they sit outside the Sikh-publishing ecosystem and are unambiguously under active, modern copyright:

• Oxford University Press monographs by living scholars (Pashaura Singh, Harjot Oberoi) and Gurinder Singh Mann's The Making of Sikh Scripture (© 2001).
• Human Rights Watch — at least 32 of its own reports (2008–2012), each stamped "Copyright © [year] Human Rights Watch. All rights reserved." These are unrelated NGO publications filed under English Literature, not Sikh scripture or scholarship.

This is a structural and textual audit — what is actually printed or embedded in the files — not a legal opinion on underlying copyright status. For that, we suggest treating the corpus in three broad, non-exhaustive bands:

1. Pre-1900s colonial-era chronicles (William Crooke, Lepel Griffin, C.F. Massy, Hutchison and Vogel, Max Arthur Macauliffe) — old enough to be public domain by age alone in most jurisdictions; this dataset's transcription and compilation are still offered only under the NC-ND terms above.
2. Early-to-mid 20th-century Sikh scholars (e.g., Bhai Vir Singh, d. 1957; Prof. Sahib Singh, d. 1969) — likely public domain in India under its life+60 term, but status can differ by jurisdiction, so no blanket claim is made.
3. Living authors, recent estates, and institutional publishers (Yogi Bhajan/3HO, Swami Rama/Himalayan Institute, W.H. McLeod's estate, SGPC and Punjabi University Patiala editions, Oxford University Press, Human Rights Watch) — very likely still under active copyright. Included here as a research/archival mirror, offered only under non-commercial, no-derivatives terms because independent copyright cannot be presumed expired.

If you are a rights-holder (or represent one) for any work in this dataset and want it removed or relicensed, please open a Discussion or Issue.

💻 How to Load

Access is gated but free — request access on the dataset page, then authenticate locally.

Note for datasets library users: this repository is a raw, folder-per-work file tree (no dataset loading script or parquet export), so datasets.load_dataset() will not auto-parse it into rows — the Hub's Dataset Viewer shows this correctly as "0 rows." Use snapshot_download or the hf CLI below to pull the raw files, then parse the .txt/.json files directly for your use case.

Python

from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download

# Download the entire corpus (~14.2 GB) to a local directory
local_dir = snapshot_download(
    repo_id="jsdosanj/SikhLibrary",
    repo_type="dataset",
)

# Or download just one collection, e.g. the complete Mahan Kosh
local_dir = snapshot_download(
    repo_id="jsdosanj/SikhLibrary",
    repo_type="dataset",
    allow_patterns=["Granths/Mahan_Kosh_Multilingual/**"],
)

from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download

# Download a single file
path = hf_hub_download(
    repo_id="jsdosanj/SikhLibrary",
    repo_type="dataset",
    filename="Granths/Mahan_Kosh_Multilingual/data/entries/en.json",
)

Shell

# Authenticate once (device-flow login)
hf auth login

# Download the entire corpus
hf download jsdosanj/SikhLibrary --repo-type dataset --local-dir ./SikhLibrary

# Download just one collection
hf download jsdosanj/SikhLibrary --repo-type dataset \
  --include "Bhai Vir Singh/**" --local-dir ./SikhLibrary

git clone also works, but this repository uses Git LFS for large files — install git-lfs first (git lfs install) or the clone will leave LFS pointer files instead of real content.

🔬 Data Quality & Known Limitations

• Word count methodology: the 1.07 billion figure is not a raw exact count — recomputing every file exactly was impractical at this scale — but a ratio estimator: the words-per-byte ratio measured on a random sample of 1,500 of the 10,797 .txt files (135.8M sampled words / 1.27 GB sampled bytes) was applied to the exact total byte size of all .txt files (9.43 GB), giving **1.01 billion words** (95% bootstrap CI: 940M–1,087M) for the plain-text corpus, plus ~60.9 million words independently measured by fully parsing six representative Mahan Kosh JSON files and applying that ratio to the folder's exact 723 MB size. This method was used deliberately in place of the historical self-reported figure (758M → 808M), which — as the Version History documents — was never recomputed after two major content expansions and had become substantially stale.
• OCR artifacts: most text was produced by an automated OCR/extraction pipeline (OpenRouter, Gemini and Gemma family models) and has not been manually proofread. Expect occasional misrecognized characters, broken diacritics, or page-break artifacts, especially in older scanned books.
• Machine translation: non-English, non-Gurmukhi language editions in the Mahan Kosh (25 of 28 languages) are machine translations of the English spine, not independent scholarly translations — do not cite them as Bhai Kahan Singh Nabha's own words. Korean and Malay were fidelity-audited in September 2026; the rest have not been.
• Per-book JSON is not additional text: each work's extracted_pages.json / translated_pages.json mirrors its sibling .txt file's content in a paginated structure — it is not independent text and was excluded from the word-count estimate to avoid double-counting.
• The copyright audit is a lower bound, not a ceiling: the front-matter scan covered ~84% of .txt files (9,086 of 10,799); the true prevalence of each named source is at least as high as reported above.
• Sampled-value tags need double-checking, not blind trust: thematic folders like "Historical Chronicles," "Research," or "Unknown Authors" mix material from many different original sources and copyright statuses — check the specific work's own front matter before assuming a folder-wide license status. Folder placement for the 730 works reclassified out of the former "General" bucket (see Version History) was assigned by an LLM reading each work's actual front matter, not by filename pattern-matching — high-precision but not infallible.

🤝 Future Collaboration & Contributions

This is a living dataset, actively synced from the sikhi.io / sikharchive.net production pipeline. We believe Sikh knowledge should be open and accessible to all.

• Continuous updates: processing pipelines will keep adding .txt and JSON data as new manuscripts are localized and verified.
• Call for collaboration: Panthic organizations, scholars, and developers are invited to contribute raw scans, new translations, unmapped historical teekas, or linguistic corpora — every contribution directly fuels the preservation effort at sikharchive.net.
• Corrections & rights concerns: if you find an error in a text, want to contribute data, or are a rights-holder with a licensing concern, please open an Issue or Discussion on this repository.
