SIKHISM
The
brief history of Sikhism
The
religion of Sikh originated in the area of Pakistan and northwestern India
called the Punjab, meaning “land of the five rivers” at the end of the
fifteenth century. At that time the local religions both Hinduism and Islam
were presented in that area. The Sikh religion offered an alternative way of
life. The movement of Sikhism was started from a small group of disciples
gathered around the Guru Nanak (1469-1538)
