I am proud to be Sikh

I am proud to be Sikh

I am proud to be Sikh because

Sikhs believe in One God

Sikhs believe in Humanity

Sikhs respect other beliefs

Guru Teg Bahadur sacrificed life for protection of Hinduism even though Guru Nanak refused to be baptised as Hindu.

Guru Arjan Dev sacrificed life for belief in One God and refused to become Muslim yet Gurus respect all religions.

Guru Nanak Sahib transferred Guruship to Guru Angad Sahib by himself and bowed in front of new Guru as respect.

Guru Gobind Singh finished race, caste, color, language difference and officially declared that all humans are equal. Guru Gobind Singh finished gender inequality and declared both genders are equal. (When five beloved were declared as Singhs and equal regardless of their class, color, language and officially baptised by sharing same amrit that prepared by a female, Mata Sahib Kaur. Guru Gobind Singh further break chains of social and cultural slavery for woman by giving special last name as Kaur to all woman. 

Guru Gobind Singh break all chains of social and cultural inequality of humans by giving them two distinct last names: to males as SINGH and to females as KAUR. 

Guru Gobind Singh himself requested to Five Beloved Singhs with due respect to offer them title of Singh.

It was a charismatic and blissful moments when Guru himself requested to his five disciples to bless him with name as Gobind Singh from Gobind Rai.

That moments were moments of complete democracy, humbleness, biaslessness, fearlessness, equality of humanity and gender (yet genders guven distinct names as SINGH and KAUR).

This is called real democractic, fair, transparent, free, biasfree, fearfree authority to common people. Guru Gobind Rai became sixth SINGH after getting blessed by Five Beloved Singhs of Guru Govind Rai.

Unlike in current polotical world, political leaders play all tricks behind doors and have no respect for transparency, morality and ethics.

Guru Nanak's philosophy and preaching about God and humanity is distinct from previous religious beliefs simpky because he refused to be baptised as Hindu and preached to Sidhs, Budhs, Jains, Hindus, Muslims and others. Guru Nanak preached about One God like Islam and Christianity and One God's Order and Will. 

Guru Nanak denounced all religious practices which were followed by people out of fear. Guru Nanak denounced malpractices of religious priests who themselves leads life of hypocrisy. He striked very hard on malpractices of Mullahs, Kajis, Pundits, Pandas, Sidhs, Budhs, Jains priests. 

Guru Nanak preached One God who is merciful, caring, loving and care taker of all creation. One should pray to One God who is true, creater and doer, without fear, without bias, eternal, without gender and present everywhere and in everything. Such understanding is blessed through a rue Guru.

Sikhism is all about understanding One God, His Order, His Will, His Power, His attributes (qualities) through a true Guru. Further all Sikhs (Seeker of Truth of One God) must serve true Guru to gain knowledge, understanding of One God and about weaknesses and strengths of themselves. Further Guru Nanak preached Sikhs must discipline their live according to true Guru's advice and remain under guudance of true Guru until realised One God and falls in sanctuary of One God.

Sikhs must take spiritual guidance from Guru and social guidance from Five Beloved. Five beloved could be combination of five singhs and kaurs. Unlike 2/3 majority modern theory, Sikhs follow only to consensus reached between five Singhs/Kaurs. Only those resolutions are supposed to be followed by Sikhs which are concensed by five beloved in line with Shri Guru Granth Sahib's principles.
