Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, was born in a critical period of Indian history. One the one hand, the people were divided into castes, sects and factions; on the other, the Muslim rulers perpetrated atrocities on the Hindus and the weaker sections of society. The masses in their hardships and miseries cried for a savior. Nanak came as God?s messenger in the common man?s hour of dire need.
His followers, called ?Sikhs?, formed a group of God-fearing mean and women devoted to the service of the people. He laid down simple rules of conduct through which man could lead a humane and meaningful life and find his own fulfillment. He was revered alike by Hindus and Muslims. His life is an inspiring example of the practice of truth, love and humility.
Guru Tegh Bahadur carried the conviction ? more than four hundred years ago, when religious intolerance and persecution were common all over the world ? that every individual must have the freedom to worship the faith of his or her choice. He wrote to the Emperor, remind him that the Holy Koran does not sanction forcible conversion.
Great ingenuity was used in devising new kings of torture for the Guru and his closest disciples, but Aurangzeb failed to crush their spirit. Thus for a great principle which today is cherished by people in most parts of the world, the Guru laid down his life. Even to this day, he is remembered as Hind-di-chadar, (literally, the coverlet of India), protector of India?s honor.
Guru Gobind Singh was the last of the ten Sikh gurus. His chief contribution was to convert a pacifist, passive and fatalistic community of Punjabi Sikhs into a militant, aggressive, and determined brotherhood of the Khalsa. It was he who gave Sikhism its five sacred symbols, including the unshorn hair and beard, and who made the Sikhs members of one casteless family ? the Singhs.
