Fundamentals of Sikhism

Sikhism is a monotheistic religion with origins in northwestern India and began about five centuries ago. There are about 22 million Sikhs worldwide, and about 500,000 in the United States. Sikhs have been in the United States for over 100 years and are proud productive contributors to American society in all areas including commerce, education, medicine and agriculture. Sikhs believe in peace, unity and that all people are created equal. Most Sikhs do not shave or cut their hair, and cover their long hair with turbans.
