Sikhism

sik-iz-m / seek-iz-m

Explanation

Sikhism is the religion of about 27 million people worldwide. ‘Sikh’ literally means ‘learner’ or ‘disciple’. A Sikh is a person who believes in the ten Gurus and the Guru Granth Sahib; and who has no other religion.

Context

Sikh terms are largely drawn from the Punjabi language. When the Sikh scriptures were written down, the script in which they were written was called Gurmuhki.
