Explanation:
Sikhism is one of the world’s major religions. There are approximately 27 million Sikhs worldwide,
76% of whom live in Punjab, a region of northern India that is divided between India and Pakistan. Eightythree percent of all Sikhs live in India itself. Some of the largest Sikh populations outside the Indian
subcontinent reside in the United Kingdom and Canada, where there are an estimated 500,000 Sikhs in each
country. The World Religion Database at Boston University estimates there are about 280,000 Sikhs in the
United States. Large Sikh populations can also be found in Malaysia and East Africa, and Sikh communities
are growing in Australia, Thailand, and Italy.

The essence of being a Sikh is that one lives one’s life according to the teachings of the Sikh Gurus, devotes time to meditating on God and the scriptures (Aad Guru Granth Sahib) and performs deeds to help and benefit other people.
Sikhs believe that there is a Single, All-Powerful God, who created the universe and everything within it The God is common to all humanity.
Sikhism emphasizes social and gender equality, and stresses the importance of behaving altruistically.
· Equality: Everyone is equal in God’s eyes; whatever their caste, creed or gender. God is accessible without priests: Everyone can be directly in touch with God. There is no need for clergy in Sikhism.
· Accept other faiths: Sikhs do not believe that any religion has monopoly on the
Truth. They do not regard Sikhism as the only way to God.
·Live in the world: A Sikh should live a responsible life as part of the community. Withdrawing from the world or becoming an ascetic are not recommended in Sikhism
·Discard Ritualism: Empty rituals are meaningless and should be discarded.
·Devotion can take the form of action as well as the prayer: Personal devotion includes Naam simran (meditation on and awareness of God) and Sewa (community service).
·A good world is just and fair to all: Social justice is to be supported in equality for all. The use of force as a last resort is justified to support it.
