History of Sikhism in India.
                     HISTORY 
OF 
SIKHISM 
IN INDIA
Introduction
• The History of Sikhism concerns 
the historical backdrop of the 
Punjab district the Northern region 
of the Indian Subcontinent that is 
part between the advanced 
nations of India and Pakistan. 
The Land
• Punjab traverses three 
physiographic areas, the 
littlest being the Siwalik 
Range in the upper east, 
where heights reach around 
3,000 feet (900 meters). 
Foundation
• The establishments of present 
Punjab were laid by Banda Singh 
Bahadur, a recluse who turned 
into a military chief and, with his 
battling band of Sikhs, incidentally 
freed the eastern piece of the area 
from Mughal rule in 1709–10. 
Sikh Population
• India's Sikh populace remains at 
24 million, which is just 1.72% of 
the nation's absolute populace. 
Out of the all out Sikhs in India, 
77% are gathered in the province 
of Punjab. Sikhism is the 
prevailing religion in Punjab. 
Langar
• One accentuation of Sikh is network 
administrations and helping the 
destitute. 
• One of the unmistakable highlights 
of Sikhism is the normal kitchen 
called Langar. In each Gurdwara 
there is a Langar.
During Independence
• At the point when India picked up its 
autonomy in 1947, the British 
territory of Punjab was part between 
the new sovereign conditions of India 
and Pakistan, and the littler, eastern 
bit turned out to be a piece of India. 
After Independence
• After freedom, the historical 
backdrop of the Indian Punjab was 
ruled by Sikh fomentation for a 
different Punjabi-talking state, drove 
by Tara Singh and later by his 
political successor, Sant Fateh Singh.
The Sikh Demand
• In spite of the fact that Sikhs had 
won the utilization of Punjabi inside 
the state, by the 1980s activist 
groups of the Shiromani Akali Dal 
(Supreme Akali Party) and the All 
India Sikh Students' Federation were 
requesting the foundation of a self-
sufficient Sikh country, or Khalistan
Violence to Peace
• An atmosphere of savagery persevered in 
Punjab through the 1980s, yet by the mid 
1990s the state had come back to relative 
soundness. 
• The general harmony there proceeded into 
the mid 21st century, helped by the 
naming of Manmohan Singh, a Sikh, as the 
head administrator of India in 2004.
