Sikh community

The Sikh community is a religious group originating from Punjab, India, founded in the 15th century by Guru Nanak and nine successive Gurus. Sikhs believe in one God, equality of all people, honest living, and community service. Their faith emphasizes meditation, humility, and justice. Sikhs are recognized by their distinctive articles of faith, such as the turban and uncut hair. They form a diverse, resilient community committed to human rights, social justice, and promoting harmony among all people regardless of background. Sikhism is the fifth-largest religion globally, with millions of followers committed to peace and equality.
