Sikhism

Sikhism emerged in the 1500s as a unifying force between Hinduism and Islam, primarily in Punjab, India. With approximately 19 million adherents, Sikhs uphold monotheism and revere their holy scripture, the Adi Granth. The teachings emphasize devotion to God, the equality of all humanity, and the rejection of superstitions. Central to Sikh identity are the Five K's—Kesa (uncut hair), Kangah (comb), Kacha (short pants), Kara (metal bangle), and Kirpan (ceremonial dagger). Sikhs honor their 10 Gurus and the living Guru, Sri Guru Granth Sahib.
