Sikh
A Sikh is a person belonging to the main ethnic and religious group that originated in the late 15th century in the Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent. The Sikh religion is based on the revelation of Guru Nanak.[1] The term Sikh has its origin in a Sanskrit word meaning "seeker". Any human being who faithfully believes in
- One Immortal Being
- Ten Gurus, from Guru Nanak Sahib to Guru Gobind Singh Sahib
- The Guru Granth Sahib
- The utterances and teachings of the ten Gurus and
- The baptism bequeathed by the tenth Guru and who does not owe allegiance to any other religion, is a Sikh.
Male Sikhs generally have Singh as their last name, though not all Singhs are necessarily Sikhs; likewise, female Sikhs have Kaur as their last name. These unique last names were given by the Gurus to allow Sikhs to stand out and also as an act of defiance to India's caste system, which the Gurus were always against. Sikhs strongly believe in the idea of welfare of all and are often seen on the frontline to provide humanitarian aid across the world.
Sikhs who have undergone the Amrit Sanchar, an initiation ceremony, are known as Khalsa from the day of their initiation, and they must at all times have on their bodies the five Ks:
- kesh, uncut hair usually kept covered by a dastār, also known as a turban;
- kara, an iron or steel bracelet;
- kirpan, a dagger-like sword tucked into a gatra strap or a kamar kasa waistband;
- kachera, a cotton undergarment; and
- kanga, a small wooden comb.

The Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent has been the historic homeland of the Sikhs, having even been ruled by the Sikhs for significant parts of the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, Canada has the largest national Sikh proportion (2.1%) in the world,[2] while the Punjab state in India has the largest Sikh proportion (58%) amongst all administrative divisions in the world. Many countries, such as Canada and the United Kingdom, recognize Sikhs as a designated religion on their censuses,[3] and, as of 2020, Sikhs are considered as a separate ethnic group in the United States.[4] The UK also considers Sikhs to be an ethno-religious people, as a direct result of the Mandla v Dowell-Lee case in 1982.[5][6]
