Sikhism is a challenge to all the rituals and lies; it is a path to the ‘truth’ and freedom of one’s soul.
In the 15th century, India was under the control of the Mugal empire. The Hindu ‘low cast’ and the ‘working class’ were being faced with ‘dual slavery’ by the ‘upper cast,’ Hindu society and the Muslim rulers.
A spark of revolution occurred when Guru Nanak at the age of ten, challenged the Brahmin Hindu priests (the highest Hindu Authority) and refused to wear the ‘JANEU’, a traditional cotton thread which is considered a sacred symbol of the ‘Higher Caste’ of Hindus and also considered a symbol of ‘pureness and integrity’.
“Hey Brahmin! How will this thread make me of ‘high caste’ and keep me ‘pure and superior’ from those born into the ‘low caste’?”
This was the first time someone had challenged and dared to raise a voice for those who were neglected and considered as ‘untouchables’ and known to be ‘low caste’ Dalits and Shudras in the Hindu society.
Guru Nanak was also an advocate for the Hindu women, who were considered merely as property of men in Hindu Society.
“Hey Brahmin! How can the women who gave birth to you and the Kings, be considered the lowest, and have no rights? Why do you treat them like slaves to the society?”
When Hindu and the Muslim priests questioned Guru Nanak,
“Who are you ?... Are you Hindu or Muslim ?”
Guru Nanak replied,
“I am not confined in the religious beliefs that segregate humanity under the name of the Gods…"
“We should disregard our differences; God created no one as ‘Hindu’ or ‘Muslim’.."
“There is only ‘One God’ for all and we all are the sons and the daughters of ‘One God’.”
Guru Nanak defined the concept of ‘GOD’ in ‘JAPJI’ and delivered this message around the world, throughout his nearly 12 years of travel. Guru Nanak also defined the ‘Ideal Human Being’ as a ‘Saint and soldier’ who delivers peace and protection to all of humanity.
Of course, a soldier must have a unique identity to be recognizable in society. Therefore, a Sikh’s bearing of a turban and uncut beard are always maintained so that a Sikh could be recognized in the crowd of thousands. Along with these symbols, a Sikh carries a Kirpan (small dagger) to serve and protect humanity.
