'''Sikhism''' is an often mistaken to be based on [[Hinduism]] and [[Islam]]. It is a separate religion from both Hinduism and Islam.  It was founded by [[Guru Nanak]] in the 16th century in the [[Punjab]] province of what is now [[India]] and [[Pakistan]] and is based on his teachings and those of the 9 Sikh gurus who followed him.  Their holy book, called the Siri Guru Granth Sahib, for Sikhs is considered to be their last and final 11th Guru.  Guru literally means teacher, someone who brings you from darkness to light.

Sikhism is a [[monotheistic]] religion, saying that men and women are equal and that you do not have to be a Sikh to get to God.  Discipline and standing up for justice are also key aspects of Sikhism.  In order to even survive as a religion historically , Sikhs had to stand up for their beliefs and fight Islamic-Facist Kings who tried to convert them.  The religion also explains the importance of doing good actions rather than merely carrying out rituals in the name of religion, which is why Sikhs do not have many rituals in their religion. <ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/sikhism/</ref>
