Sikhism, the 5th largest and youngest of the world religions. A religion that preaches about love, peace, and the equality of humankind, but also asks itโs followers to carry swords.
Sikhism originated in the Punjab area of India and Pakistan, 500 years ago. The Punjab, the land of five rivers, is one of the most historically and culturally dense areas on Earth. Today there are about 25 million Sikhs. They make up about 2% of India’s population but about 60% of the Punjab’s. The Sikh diaspora is spread out across the world with concentrations in the UK, Canada, The US, East Africa, Australia, and Malaysia. Sikhs interestingly enough make up almost 1.5% of Canada’s population which is second only to India.
So who are the Sikhโs, what do they believe, and why does everyone confuse them for Muslims? Well Letโs Find Out.

Do you have any questions about Sikhism? Feel free to ask and I'll answer them for you in a comment response video. What would you like me to cover next?
I mean Hindus kinda believe in that too with the Brahman just he was kinda overshadowed.
Cool religion I love the equality.
Sikhism is the only bigger religion I have no problem with and respect as an atheist.
Sikhism is pure Sanatana Dharma!! The Upanishads practiced!!
It's sad that this video doesn't cover discrimination of Mazhabi sikhs by Jat sikhs.
Me and the boys converting to Sikhism after watching a silly YouTube video
All that part about formless god who cannot be imagined by our small minds They just copied from Islam, that's all Sikhism is.. is a pick and choose from Islam and Hinduism and then add your own little sprinkle on top.
ugh is it just me or does everyone who has heard of sikh's before this cringe when he says sickh instead of sikh.
Edit: Wait in the uk we say it wrong well damn we are so dumb how'd we start calling it wrong.
We can never forget the sacrifices of our Sikh gurus ๐๐ dhanyawad waheguru ji we hindus๐๏ธ are always indebted to your sacrifices.
The Sikh cops in the US are real ones, as long as you had a good reason for parking weird or speeding they arenโt gonna give you a ticket.
such a beautiful belief system
Copying from Rumi i see

I'm atheist but I still appreciate philosophical foundations of Sikhism and Buddhism, both for different reasons, they feel like well-thought-out systems of values to reduce harm and worries, they are not perfect but nonetheless impressive and inspiring
How can I have such icons as your video? They're so impressive.
Som of the greatest people around
I worked with a Sikh couple. Very nice people.
Boleeeeeee sor nihal
ONLY LEGENDS Know LEGENDS borns from PUNJAB
Jai guru nanak ๐
Jai shree ram ๐
truely bhakti kaal was the most golden medival period of india
I always admired the acceptance between Hindus and Sikhs regarding their culture. Like I lives in punjab , here around 58% population is of Sikhs whereas hindu population is around 39% yet I have never experienced any kind of religious or cultural divisions among them. Hindus go to gurdwaras, Sikhs also go to hindu temples. It's kind rare.
If you are reading this as a Sikh person, please know how march your religion made an impact on me growing up. My religion was the opposite and your theology was so hard for me to imagine when I was still fully indoctrinated. The kindness so many families exhibited to me and my friends was undeserved โค
Waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh
Please don't cartoon avatar to make such videos as this is disrespectful as making cartoons of our gurus is wrong ๐๐
An all inclusive religion with no discrimination

I'm a Christian, and i have to say, it's amazing to see how others come up with this. The falsehood that humans can earn their way into some sort of "heaven" is not surprising. Still, God's law has been written on our hearts. My friends, if you have ever stolen, lied, or looked with sexual desire, you have sinned against a holy and righteous judge. And because God is just, he will punish those who have broken his law, like you and me. However, the good news, is that Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, lived the perfect life that we could never live. Then with his perfect self, he died on the cross to satisfy the wrath of God that we deserve because of our sins. Three days later Jesus rose from the dead fulfilling every biblical prophecy and making the way for us to be made right with God. God has promised us the free gift of salvation for all who will turn from their sins, and trust in CHRIST ALONE for their salvation. I write these things, because of a love and concern for others. I am not judging, for I have no right to. Please think about this. Nothing is more important than where you spend your eternity.
Every Sikh I have met has been an incredible person. Glad to learn more.
Best explanation ever
This is how I want everything explained in life! Great delivery ๐ค
Seeing this, the people who want Khalistan and who rage about thier religion, is exactly the opposite Sikhism says. The indian Sikhs I've met have been Great but the ones who go abroad are oddly too proud and egotistical. I wonder why it happens to sikhs who move out of India.
THEY PUT SIMBA TO LION KING FOR THIS REASON. COMMON SENSE
there is over 100M panjabis
Thank you for talking about Sikhism it doesnโt matter what religion you are and Iโm a Sikh may everyone think Simraan and chant Wahegru.
Itโs pronounced Whyยฐiยฐgroo
Mecca is the most visited place, then the golden temptle
Huh. Itโs kinda embarrassing asking my parents about my religion so I watched this video, had everything I needed to know
Did guru govind singh really say that sikhs should never cut any hair or he said that beard etc must be kept as most potraits of Govind Singh show him with small beard not grown upto waist like some sikhs do.What about armpit and pubic hair, are they allowed to grow into long bush or trimmed? Some sikhs do cut or trim beard etc. Sikhs are good people.

With all due respect to every religion, Sikhism is an example that anyone can start their own religion out of one's own belief, it's just about one's own perspectives & one's own beliefs. Jesus, Muhammad, buddha,Nanak…were all ordinary people with strong beliefs & personalities, to their credit they were able to convince people & align em' with their beliefs. Anyone can start a movement today in the year 2022 & by 2050, that movement would be a 'religion' with followers by then! There is only one God & that God is your own belief & HE/SHE resides in you. God is not a Christian , a muslim, a Buddhist, a Sikh, a Shiva…nor any man created God according to their imagination!
