Rooted in the bhakti movements that developed in the second century B.C. but swept across North India during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the Sikh religion appealed to the hard-working peasants. The Sikh khalsa (army of the pure) rose up against the economic and political repressions in Punjab toward the end of Aurangzeb's rule. Guerrilla fighters took advantage of the political instability created by the Persian and Afghan onslaught against Delhi, enriching themselves and expanding territorial control. By the 1770s, Sikh hegemony extended from the Indus in the west to the Yamuna in the east, from Multan in the south to Jammu in the north. But the Sikhs, like the Marathas, were a loose, disunited, and quarrelsome conglomerate of twelve kin-groups. It took Ranjit Singh (1780-1839), an individual with modernizing vision and leadership, to achieve supremacy over the other kin-groups and establish his kingdom in which Sikhs, Hindus, and Muslims lived together in comparative equality and increasing prosperity. Ranjit Singh employed European officers and introduced strict military discipline into his army before expanding into Afghanistan, Kashmir, and Ladakh.

Extractions: What is SIKH ISM Sikhism is the youngest of the World Religions, barely 500 years old. It was founded by Siri Guru Nanak Dev Ji in 1469 who laid the basic principles of Sikhism. It offered the people a simple Sikh religion teaching "Oneness of God", whose name is TRUTH. Nine Gurus followed him who all reinforced and added to what was taught by the first Guru. After which in 1708, the holy book of the Sikhs, The Siri GURU GRANTH SAHIB JI was Proclaimed to be the only Guru by the last Guru, Siri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. This holy book embodies the philosophy and fundamentals of Sikhism. It is the only holy book of a major religion which was written and authenticated by its founders. All the fundamentals of Sikhism emanate from the concept of love for God which follows the love of man. God is the Supreme being, Universal and all powerful. For a Sikh, all human beings are creatures of God and must be treated equally. One must work hard and share one's earnings with the less fortunate which had to be earned by righteous means. One must be always active in mind and body. Siri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the last Guru gave the Sikhs a distinct Uniform and appearance so that they were easily recognized. So, in 1699 on the day of

Extractions: Religions In India Buddhism Christianity Hinduism ... Indian Religions : Sikhism SIKHISM Guru Nanak (1469-1539) was the founder of Sikhism in India, the religion that draws its elements from both Hinduism & Islam. The followers of the religion came to be known as Sikhs and their worship places as Gurudwaras (abodes of the gurus). They cremate their dead and baptize their children in a ceremony known as 'pahul'. Their holy book is the Granth Sahib which contains the works of the 10 sikh gurus together with Hindu & Muslim writings. The last guru died in 1708. Guru Nanak not only preached the importance of "Satnam & Waheguru" (true name or one god) but also that having a right guru (teacher) is important for self realisation. He neither believed in idol worship nor in casteism or asceticism and was a believer in 'Karma' as the only means of attaining 'moksha'. He introduced the concept of a common kitchen (the langar) to feed the poor.

Extractions: [Kirpan] [Panj Pyare] [Guru Nanak] [Five symbols-Panj Kakke] T he Sikh faith originates with Guru Nanak (1469-1539), an itinerant teacher who preached a simple monotheistic faith shorn of idolatry, predicated on the equality of all men, critical of caste distinctions, and respectful of the dignity of human labor. Nanak was succeeded by Guru Angad (1504-52), who developed the Gurmukhi script and collected the writings of Nanak; the fourth Guru, Ram Das (1534-81), founded the holy city of Amritsar, where his successor Arjan (1563-1606) built a gurdwara (literally, doorway to the Guru) or Sikh temple. Guru Arjan also engaged in the construction of numerous other gurdwaras, and gave definite shape to the compilation of Nanak's writings, which along with the hymns of Hindu and Muslim saints and the writings of the other Gurus were constituted into the Adi Granth or Guru Granth Sahib, the holy book of the Sikhs. The Sikhs thereby became, in the words of one scholar, a "textual community". G uru Arjan's efforts to put his faith on a firm basis and secure for it an organizational structure attracted the attention of India's Mughal dynasty, and he was consequently put to death in the city of Lahore. This was, on the conventional account, also the fate of Tegh Bahadur (1621-75), the ninth Guru, who refused conversion to Islam. His son, Gobind Singh (1666-1708), having assumed the leadership of his people at the age of ten, conceived of a plan in his later years to save the Sikh community from possible extinction and safeguard the interests of the community. He initiated five of his followers, known as the

Extractions: [Five symbols-Panj Kakke] A mong the five symbols of the Sikh faith, which set male Sikhs apart from all other men, none has generated as much controversy in recent times as the kirpan, which in English is translated as knife, dagger, or sword. In certain school districts of northern California, for instance, Sikh children have been forbidden from carrying kirpans to school, and this has been the subject of public discussion as well as litigation. To take another example, one demand that Sikhs have had in India is that they ought to be permitted to carry kirpans on board aircraft. The kirpan, alongside the unshorn hair of the believing Sikh, is certain the most visible symbol of Sikh masculinity, and the very potency of the kirpan appears to signify to an outsider the martial qualities of the Sikh. T he scholar Jit Singh Uberoi has persuasively argued that the kirpan should be viewed as being constrained by the kara or steel bangle, and it follows, as he says, that the kirpan is "a sword ritually constrained and thus made into the mark of every citizen's honour, not only of the soldier's vocation."[1] A sword that is "ritually constrained" is a sword that is bound to do only the work of justice, to be drawn on behalf of the oppressed and the weak, to be offered only in defense. The sword can be employed only when all other avenues have been explored and exhausted, and indeed failure to do so at that time would be tantamount to complicity in acts of evil and oppression. Though the sword was the natural adornment of the soldier, Guru Gobind, in designating the

Extractions: God is one. He is the supreme truth. He, the Creator, is beyond fear and beyond hate. He is immortal. He is neither born and nor does He die. By Gurus grace shall He be met. In the beginning He was the truth. Throughout the ages He has been the truth. He is the truth here and now and He shall be the truth forever ( Guru Granth Sahib, 1 ). He is indescribable, inestimable, indubitable, infallible, intangible, imperishable, immutable, immortal, immaculate, immanent, unconquerable, unique, formless, fearless, compassionate, omnipresent and creator of all. He is beyond color and form, beyond birth and death, beyond portraiture and a lot more, which is beyond thinking. Sikhism is one of the worlds simplest faiths, yet very strong discipline and the results produced by it have been very powerful. Sikhism helps one to devote his life to God and attain salvation. In 1469, a light of knowledge was send by God on earth to eliminate the darkness of ignorance. Guru Nanak Dev Ji was born in 1469. He was send to earth by God to enlighten people about the true meaning of life. With the will of God, Guru Nanak Dev founded a religion, known as Sikhism. Sikhs had ten Gurus in succession and the tenth Guru compiled all the teachings in a holy scripture called Guru Granth Sahib. That revered scripture presides over as the eleventh Guru of Sikhs. Guru Granth Sahib has 1430 pages and each and every page gives amazing information about God. The Guru is in direct communion with God and passes the word of God to his followers.
