Sikhism is an Indian religion and philosophy that originated in the Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent in the late 15th century. It was founded by Guru Nanak and developed through the teachings of the ten Sikh Gurus. The central scripture of Sikhism is the Guru Granth Sahib, which Sikhs regard as the eternal Guru. Sikhism emphasizes devotion to one God, equality, honest living, selfless service, and social justice. Amritsar and the Golden Temple are among the most important centers of Sikh religious and cultural life. Punjab, India is the only state in which Sikhs form a majority of the population. |
