Around the world, whenever there are discussions about culture and tradition, India always comes on top of it. Our country has long been known as spiritual, religious heavy area of the world.

It is rightly said that religion is an integral part of Indian tradition. It is a way of life and affects every individual in one form or other.

India’s rich and diversified culture always lured the rulers which resulted in repeated invasions. Though the system of monarchy was in the blood of Indian society, but came a time when people started challenging the rulers. 

There was a need to unite people for a common goal. A goal, that leads to self respect, freedom and a meaningful life.

This was done by a way of life and philosophy well ahead of it time that was born in India. How amazing is that a religion that has its origin just 500 years ago has now become the fifth largest religion around the globe. How difficult could have been to mobilize people against tyranny of the rulers…. 

Bringing together different sections of society for the cause of humanity, there came a way which challenged the system. The religion which rejected the system of inequality and termed everyone as children of God. Igniting the fire to live and to die for the motherland. Serving the mankind is equivalent to serving the Almighty. 

These were the strong beliefs that led to foundation of a religion now known as Sikhism….

How it originated… what was the need of it… Just think about that…
