My Sikh friend invited me and my family to a hogmanay (new years eve) party we were the only whites there and what a night it was honestly one of the best parties iv went to lovely people made us very welcome and my kids played with there kids was an amazing night.
The sikh religion is being hijacked by thugs. Real Sikhs are cool but these hijackers are cruel and violent. Please also note that these hijackers are in Pakistan, in training camps with peaceful thugs, learning about how to attack India. There's a video on this u tube about how a particular individual screams foul language outside a Sikh temple in a Western country at an old hindu man. He is shouting swear words outside a place of worship in front of other people. This is how the sikh religion has been hijacked.
It had been a while until I saw this video when I was studying about the history of Sikhism. So thank you for reintroducing it to me! It made me regain my interest in its history.
Side note, all the Sikh men I’ve met are frickin gorgeous. They dress so nicely and take such good care of their hair and skin. They’re kind, respectful, AND handsome.
We should do more videos like this! For example: •The History of the Jewish people: from Yahwism to Judaism and Samaritism. •The History of Christianity: From Jesus to today. •The History of Buddhism: From Siddhartha Gautama to the Dalai Lama. •The History of Zoroastrianism: From Zarathustra to the Parsis.
A big shout out for bringing in the Sikh History . Could you also please highlight the battles of Sikhs and the Mughals from 1700 with The Battle of Chamkaur Sahib till Second Anglo Sikh War . Once again appreciate for your efforts 🫡
I live in a part of the USA with almost no Sikhs. There probably are fewer than 200 and none of them live near me. I have strongly admired the Sikh faith ever since the I first learned about it. Even though I am an atheist and cannot share their faith, I have a lot of respect for the Sikh religion and goals. It is truly such a fascinating religion and culture, and despite the shallowness of referring to their adornments as "fashion", I cannot escape the feeling that they have such an incredible cultural fashion. I would love to visit the Punjab region and learn more about the Sikh people and history someday.
I grew up around in London, where there’s a sizeable Sikh community. In my experience they are the most friendly, inclusive and welcoming religious community I’ve ever encountered. I made friends with some Sikhs, and one of the old ladies I worked with taught me how to make North Indian food, and we taught each other about our spiritual beliefs. I was the first time they’d met a neo-norse pagan.
By Christianity's current defn of "God" Sikhs, whether they understand it or not would align much more closely to an Atheist -with rejection of a notion of a anthropomorphic deity
I never imagined one day one of my favorite history channels would do a video on Sikhs and Sikh History. You should turn this into a series. Just make sure you do your research about Sikh History from authentic Sikh historians from the primary sources. And make sure you understand that Sikhs are neither Hindus nor Muslims. They have their own unique and distinct identity.
Being a member of this channel for a long time and a Sikh, i thank you for this video. In future you can also cover Anglo- Sikh wars and how the last standing empire in India got defeated by East India Company. Lots of literature on it..

I just want to say I’ve been watching your channel for 4-5 years and had always considered commenting for the possibility of a Sikh video. I came to your channel today to see what was knew expecting nothing about sikhs and was overcome with joy when I saw this. I love your content kings and generals keep it up for ever
When I was young and traveled abroad to study, my father told me that if I am ever in trouble or don’t know where to turn, go to the nearest gurdwara and the Sikhs will always help you. I now give the same advice to my children. We are not Sikhs, but have immense respect for them ❤
If you are a hindu then I certainly won't suggest you to teach that to your children because they will most likely be attacked at a Gurudwara by Sikhs, especially abroad.
so let me ask you why your Hindu parents would tell their children to ask Sikhs instead of other Hindus for help? It’s because they know their history and even maybe seen sikhs in action, now the issue I have is when the Sikhs need help from other communities especially Hindu why don’t Hindus help them? Example I just recently watched a video of a Hindu woman doctor who was raped by a gang of Hindu men and seen protesting in the streets then I remembered about another video about different Hindu woman in a bus raped by bunch of Hindu men including the bus driver and seen videos of protesting throughout India for these 2 Hindu women who were raped but when thousands of Sikh women who were beaten raped in front of their fathers and then killed by burning them alive in 1984 Sikh genocide on the streets of Delhi then why were Hindus silent why no Hindus came out of their house and protested or the same parents tell their children to also stand with Sikhs as they always stood by them?? If Hindu women always look for Sikhs to help but in return they will never stand by them when they are even pretesting the genocide, but we get ungrateful Hindus like this guy above my comment making stupid comments telling don’t go to gurdwara because they will attack you for no reason.
@@Tera_Baap_Ka_Baap_Ka_BaapWhy didn't Sikhs come out in support of the Hindus who were pulled down from buses and unalived by Sikhs?

@@Tera_Baap_Ka_Baap_Ka_BaapAnd why would Hindus be grateful to you exactly? Grateful that you plagiarised the Upanishads and appropriated our gods and doctrines as your own? No thanks.
@@hindugramsci Why do you people always trying to justify the Sikh doing killing of Hindus with lies? And It was actually the government agents called “Cats” who were disguised as Sikhs with turbans who pulled other Hindus from a bus and killed them with bullets so then no Hindus or anyone else would support or feel any sympathy for Sikhs who died after the Indian government attacked the golden temple and murdered Sikhs. But I’m sure you already knew that, search “pinky cat” tells his story who was one of those cats from 80’s revealed what really happened If you have any evidence please provide it, it was actually the opposite of what the Indian newspapers were saying there was no Hindus killed in any villages from records if you have proof prove me wrong. Expect for a few government owned newspapers at that time saying Sikhs killed Hindus just to tarnish their reputation and image but if you look at the actual records in Punjab in the 80’s you won’t see any incidents that took place of incident Hindus killings. But Sikh genocide in Delhi and other parts of India that took place in 1984 is real and even more killed before the genocide attacking their most famous golden temple that killed over 30,000 more, stop trying to tarnish Sikh image, you really think after the India government attacked the golden temple any Hindus would still be alive in Punjab if sikhs hated all common Hindus?? That’s what the government actually wanted after the attack that Sikhs go bloodthirsty crazy after the attack and start killing all Hindus in Punjab to make this into Sikhs vs Hindus to call it a “Riot” instead of a “Genocide”, Sikhs didn’t start killing anyone because Sikhs know their enemy isn’t common innocent people it’s always been bad governments they’re against, even when Muslims ruled they didn’t go around killing every Muslims did they? It was always fight with the bad rulers who were killing innocent people, I’m reading many comments on here who have been misled or are just part of that group to put a divide between the two communities, if I’m wrong should be very easy to google me the proof right? Don’t try to tarnish the Sikh image because you won’t succeed because at the end truth always wins.
I find little value in any religion... However, Sikhism values aligns closely with my personal beliefs. The 5th of the 5K - Kirpan especially. Most religions have meek approach to defending themselves... Its literally built into Sikhism, "You mess with a bull, u get the horns." We have no issue defending ourselves.
In Sikhism the 10th guru propogated this concept that good spiritual people should not sit silent in the affairs of kingship, they should rule its their right.
@@tarjd6796 along with right to bear weapons add the right to sovereign rule , it is only by ruling over the righteousness can be maintained otherwise it will be shunned by any evil ruler . From 1st to 9th guru all errors and defects were corrected in human when the human was ready for the wisdom to handle weapon the 10th guru created khalsa .it is here weapons and other things were mandatory along with the prophecy from 10th guru " worship one god and align with my teachings , you are destined to rule this earth,you should have your own sovereignty and wage war against evils"
The evils at that time were inhuman mughals/ Afghani invaders /abdali and Britishers . The khalsa resisted all for significant time ,at the cost of so many dead sikhs. Sikh empire was tge last empire to be conquered by british in india that too bc of internal betrayals in last moment . If u read British newspapers and diaries on sikhs they all said one thing they never faced this much damage in any war . Interesting topic it is to read

@@khatri3259 so why did the Gurus had to change their ideology then? Why couldn’t they just stay in their cast and achieve their goals, because this nothing to do with caste, all Sikhs are lions 🦁 irrespective of caste so don’t make a difference, if the Sikh Gurus wanted to glorify their caste then why did they give it up so easily to become a Sikh? Because Guru Nanak dumped that caste nonsense and opened their eyes and said everyone is equal in the entire world no one is more superior than anyone else but you Brahmins can’t seem to let go this nonsense because you still believe your caste is superior then others, anyway every Sikh is a lion for their bravery, don’t believe me just look at your own military protecting the nations borders mostly come from Jatt caste background, become part of the Khalsa family bro get rid of your caste this is what Guru Nanak did

Your dedication and open-mindedness are commendable. As a Sikh, I want to express my gratitude for shedding light on our religion and giving it a positive spotlight. Thank you!
As a Sikh my self and a long time follower of this channel, I was over joyed when I got the notification for this video. Thank you so much for covering our history ❤ 💯
These were the only people in the whole world who actually defeated the Afghans. If you search about the Sikh-Afghan wars, you will get to know how deadly these men were and how badly the Afghans were thrashed to their core by these men. Afghans are literally nothing if they aren't in their mountainous homeland and the Sikhs proved it by pushing them out of plain fields of the Punjab in pitched battles.
Sikhs never took over Afghanistan though mean while India has been taken over by multiple kingdoms. And kilji and afghan saved India from the mughals lol Nice try
@vatossureno A large part of pashtun areas are in Pakistan as a result of Afghan defeats at the hand of the sikh empire, and it reached Kabul. Afghani dynasties pillaged and looted India and weren't the saviours. All they sought was to replace mughals as oppressors.
Lassi isn't a slur or a term of disrespect, Sikhs who happen to be Punjabis contain within them the ability to digest milk, a tolerance for its consumption, a reason why they are stronger taller and have better genetics than much of the subcontinent. Furthermore, don't you drink cow piss on your religion?
As a Sikh, I really appreciate this video, but there is a slight mistake at 6:00: the picture of the 6th guru and the 10th guru are switched. I loved how beautifully you explained my religion. You definitely got a new subscriber. Wishing your channel great success 😇🙏

@@man58652But it has immense theological similarities to Hinduism and Islam as well highlighting their clear influence in shaping it. From the doctrine of Karma, Moksha, Rebirth, tracing the lineage of its gurus to a Hindu god, to the very word 'guru' itself; are all of Upanishadic and Vedic origin. That's why even the Ggs, attest to the existence of Hindu gods like Indra in section 2 and accepts the validity of the Vedas by saying that those pandits singing the Vedas sing of 'You'. (The supreme being)
@@hindugramsci yes i know But for example word guru is common word in that region and guru nanak can‘t invent new words you know Btw yes the pandits are mentioned by this but even the sufis are mentioned that they also mean "you" by saying allah for example Muslims could use the same argument like you
@@man58652The ggs validates the Vedas and Smritis as equally valid scriptures since those singing their hymns are praising the Supreme being through them according to it (section 1). I don't think it validates Quran similarly as a valid text because if it does then it would be a contradiction in ggs since while Vedas contain hymns praising multiple gods like Indra, Agni etc., whose existence is accepted by the ggs itself in section 2 btw, while Quran denies the existence of multiple deities and talks of only one Allah. So both can't be true simultaneously and I don't think the ggs would contradict itself.
This is actually quite well done. There are some more interesting details missed at various points but overall as a superficial understanding of the history of the Sikhs from 1st to last guru in a 20 minute video - it was not bad at all. There is so much more to the religion - historically speaking, than what was shown for that time period but that will make for a much longer video. Still - great job on whatever was covered
This History Documentary on the Sikhs is a powerful journey through their rich heritage, resilience, and profound impact on history. From their origins to their unwavering spirit and contributions to society, the Sikhs have an inspiring legacy that is beautifully captured here. It's enlightening to see the depth of their faith, the sacrifices made, and how their values continue to shape lives today. A must-watch for anyone interested in understanding the strength and unity of this incredible community!
Ill be honest i didnt click on this video (and i probably wouldnt have if there was more Roman, Greek, or Egyptian historical videos in the recommended-next video section), however, im glad i took too long to keep it from auto-playing to this. Ive always been curious about Sikh-ism or Sikh's or whichever way is most proper to refer to it, but never really got clarification about its details or what the theology/culture/history/etcetera as theres not really anyone who hails from said faith or culture in my area of the world since i live in a semi-rural, but partially suburban area of the US in the sort of Midwest, sort of South, sort of East Coast region and im rather far from the major population centers of NYC, LA, Chicago, etcetera. So ive never met anyone who could break it down or explain it to me so im glad i stumbled upon this gem of a breakdown/evaluation video.
As an orthodox Christian, I hold great respect for the Sikhs; their beliefs resonate a lot with Jesus’s will and I with their’s. The story of Gurus fighting with pen and sword to preserve their faith in the midst of attempts to undermine such also resonates with me as the my orthodox brethren across the Balkans fought to preserve their faith and identity and my orthodox brethren like the Assyrians, Armenians, Copts, and more continue to do to this very day.
It's not impossible, especially in a Sufi perspective. The cores of both faiths aren't incompatible, and the understanding of the cosmology is better related when looking through the lens of Sufi saints like Ibn Arabi. Even in the Quran, there are chapters about seeking out similarities between the faiths. However, as history shows us, ambitious conquerors find little satisfaction from compassion when they can't be the sole rulers.
The whole of truth is the one and the same thing…! The differences between the fates are related to the Geographic Location, the way of interpretation and understanding of the texts and its development through the time and history. Rape and abuse of power are in every society disliked The important thing is the education and free approach to the issues and informations in their diversity and free speech!

The sikh religion is being hijacked by thugs. Real Sikhs are cool but these hijackers are cruel and violent. Please also note that these hijackers are in Pakistan, in training camps with peaceful thugs, learning about how to attack India. There's a video on this u tube about how a particular individual screams foul language outside a Sikh temple in a Western country at an old hindu man. He is shouting swear words outside a place of worship in front of other people. This is how the sikh religion has been hijacked.
Please make an effort to make first contact, you will be rewarded, I guarantee it ❤
It had been a while until I saw this video when I was studying about the history of Sikhism. So thank you for reintroducing it to me! It made me regain my interest in its history.

I live in a part of the USA with almost no Sikhs. There probably are fewer than 200 and none of them live near me. I have strongly admired the Sikh faith ever since the I first learned about it. Even though I am an atheist and cannot share their faith, I have a lot of respect for the Sikh religion and goals.
It is truly such a fascinating religion and culture, and despite the shallowness of referring to their adornments as "fashion", I cannot escape the feeling that they have such an incredible cultural fashion. I would love to visit the Punjab region and learn more about the Sikh people and history someday.
I belong to the Sikh religion and I can't thank you enough for making this awesome video! Keep going 💪❤🙏
Great video! Thanks for highlighting Sikh history, looking forward to the next part on the Sikh empire.
I grew up around in London, where there’s a sizeable Sikh community. In my experience they are the most friendly, inclusive and welcoming religious community I’ve ever encountered. I made friends with some Sikhs, and one of the old ladies I worked with taught me how to make North Indian food, and we taught each other about our spiritual beliefs. I was the first time they’d met a neo-norse pagan.

I never imagined one day one of my favorite history channels would do a video on Sikhs and Sikh History. You should turn this into a series. Just make sure you do your research about Sikh History from authentic Sikh historians from the primary sources. And make sure you understand that Sikhs are neither Hindus nor Muslims. They have their own unique and distinct identity.

I just want to say I’ve been watching your channel for 4-5 years and had always considered commenting for the possibility of a Sikh video. I came to your channel today to see what was knew expecting nothing about sikhs and was overcome with joy when I saw this. I love your content kings and generals keep it up for ever
When I was young and traveled abroad to study, my father told me that if I am ever in trouble or don’t know where to turn, go to the nearest gurdwara and the Sikhs will always help you. I now give the same advice to my children. We are not Sikhs, but have immense respect for them ❤
If you are a hindu then I certainly won't suggest you to teach that to your children because they will most likely be attacked at a Gurudwara by Sikhs, especially abroad.
so let me ask you why your Hindu parents would tell their children to ask Sikhs instead of other Hindus for help? It’s because they know their history and even maybe seen sikhs in action, now the issue I have is when the Sikhs need help from other communities especially Hindu why don’t Hindus help them? Example I just recently watched a video of a Hindu woman doctor who was raped by a gang of Hindu men and seen protesting in the streets then I remembered about another video about different Hindu woman in a bus raped by bunch of Hindu men including the bus driver and seen videos of protesting throughout India for these 2 Hindu women who were raped but when thousands of Sikh women who were beaten raped in front of their fathers and then killed by burning them alive in 1984 Sikh genocide on the streets of Delhi then why were Hindus silent why no Hindus came out of their house and protested or the same parents tell their children to also stand with Sikhs as they always stood by them?? If Hindu women always look for Sikhs to help but in return they will never stand by them when they are even pretesting the genocide, but we get ungrateful Hindus like this guy above my comment making stupid comments telling don’t go to gurdwara because they will attack you for no reason.
@@Tera_Baap_Ka_Baap_Ka_BaapWhy didn't Sikhs come out in support of the Hindus who were pulled down from buses and unalived by Sikhs?

@@Tera_Baap_Ka_Baap_Ka_BaapAnd why would Hindus be grateful to you exactly? Grateful that you plagiarised the Upanishads and appropriated our gods and doctrines as your own? No thanks.
@@hindugramsci Why do you people always trying to justify the Sikh doing killing of Hindus with lies? And It was actually the government agents called “Cats” who were disguised as Sikhs with turbans who pulled other Hindus from a bus and killed them with bullets so then no Hindus or anyone else would support or feel any sympathy for Sikhs who died after the Indian government attacked the golden temple and murdered Sikhs. But I’m sure you already knew that, search “pinky cat” tells his story who was one of those cats from 80’s revealed what really happened If you have any evidence please provide it, it was actually the opposite of what the Indian newspapers were saying there was no Hindus killed in any villages from records if you have proof prove me wrong. Expect for a few government owned newspapers at that time saying Sikhs killed Hindus just to tarnish their reputation and image but if you look at the actual records in Punjab in the 80’s you won’t see any incidents that took place of incident Hindus killings. But Sikh genocide in Delhi and other parts of India that took place in 1984 is real and even more killed before the genocide attacking their most famous golden temple that killed over 30,000 more, stop trying to tarnish Sikh image, you really think after the India government attacked the golden temple any Hindus would still be alive in Punjab if sikhs hated all common Hindus?? That’s what the government actually wanted after the attack that Sikhs go bloodthirsty crazy after the attack and start killing all Hindus in Punjab to make this into Sikhs vs Hindus to call it a “Riot” instead of a “Genocide”, Sikhs didn’t start killing anyone because Sikhs know their enemy isn’t common innocent people it’s always been bad governments they’re against, even when Muslims ruled they didn’t go around killing every Muslims did they? It was always fight with the bad rulers who were killing innocent people, I’m reading many comments on here who have been misled or are just part of that group to put a divide between the two communities, if I’m wrong should be very easy to google me the proof right? Don’t try to tarnish the Sikh image because you won’t succeed because at the end truth always wins.
I find little value in any religion... However, Sikhism values aligns closely with my personal beliefs.
The 5th of the 5K - Kirpan especially. Most religions have meek approach to defending themselves...
Its literally built into Sikhism, "You mess with a bull, u get the horns." We have no issue defending ourselves.
In Sikhism the 10th guru propogated this concept that good spiritual people should not sit silent in the affairs of kingship, they should rule its their right.
Not to dismilar to the US constitutional right 'to bear arms' in the unforseen event of tyranny, one might say?
@@tarjd6796 along with right to bear weapons add the right to sovereign rule , it is only by ruling over the righteousness can be maintained otherwise it will be shunned by any evil ruler . From 1st to 9th guru all errors and defects were corrected in human when the human was ready for the wisdom to handle weapon the 10th guru created khalsa .it is here weapons and other things were mandatory along with the prophecy from 10th guru " worship one god and align with my teachings , you are destined to rule this earth,you should have your own sovereignty and wage war against evils"
The evils at that time were inhuman mughals/ Afghani invaders /abdali and Britishers . The khalsa resisted all for significant time ,at the cost of so many dead sikhs. Sikh empire was tge last empire to be conquered by british in india that too bc of internal betrayals in last moment . If u read British newspapers and diaries on sikhs they all said one thing they never faced this much damage in any war . Interesting topic it is to read

Because Guru Nanak dumped that caste nonsense and opened their eyes and said everyone is equal in the entire world no one is more superior than anyone else but you Brahmins can’t seem to let go this nonsense because you still believe your caste is superior then others, anyway every Sikh is a lion for their bravery, don’t believe me just look at your own military protecting the nations borders mostly come from Jatt caste background, become part of the Khalsa family bro get rid of your caste this is what Guru Nanak did

These were the only people in the whole world who actually defeated the Afghans. If you search about the Sikh-Afghan wars, you will get to know how deadly these men were and how badly the Afghans were thrashed to their core by these men.

From the doctrine of Karma, Moksha, Rebirth, tracing the lineage of its gurus to a Hindu god, to the very word 'guru' itself; are all of Upanishadic and Vedic origin. That's why even the Ggs, attest to the existence of Hindu gods like Indra in section 2 and accepts the validity of the Vedas by saying that those pandits singing the Vedas sing of 'You'.

@@man58652The ggs validates the Vedas and Smritis as equally valid scriptures since those singing their hymns are praising the Supreme being through them according to it (section 1). I don't think it validates Quran similarly as a valid text because if it does then it would be a contradiction in ggs since while Vedas contain hymns praising multiple gods like Indra, Agni etc., whose existence is accepted by the ggs itself in section 2 btw, while Quran denies the existence of multiple deities and talks of only one Allah. So both can't be true simultaneously and I don't think the ggs would contradict itself.
This is actually quite well done. There are some more interesting details missed at various points but overall as a superficial understanding of the history of the Sikhs from 1st to last guru in a 20 minute video - it was not bad at all.

Ill be honest i didnt click on this video (and i probably wouldnt have if there was more Roman, Greek, or Egyptian historical videos in the recommended-next video section), however, im glad i took too long to keep it from auto-playing to this. Ive always been curious about Sikh-ism or Sikh's or whichever way is most proper to refer to it, but never really got clarification about its details or what the theology/culture/history/etcetera as theres not really anyone who hails from said faith or culture in my area of the world since i live in a semi-rural, but partially suburban area of the US in the sort of Midwest, sort of South, sort of East Coast region and im rather far from the major population centers of NYC, LA, Chicago, etcetera. So ive never met anyone who could break it down or explain it to me so im glad i stumbled upon this gem of a breakdown/evaluation video.

As an orthodox Christian, I hold great respect for the Sikhs; their beliefs resonate a lot with Jesus’s will and I with their’s. The story of Gurus fighting with pen and sword to preserve their faith in the midst of attempts to undermine such also resonates with me as the my orthodox brethren across the Balkans fought to preserve their faith and identity and my orthodox brethren like the Assyrians, Armenians, Copts, and more continue to do to this very day.
You did it! Thank you for bringing our history and culture to your audience. You won't be disappointed.
I am a Moslem but a Sikh too ! I am proud of the Sikh society and their faith. They are generally good people…
?? Both Muslim and sikh? Not hating, but hard to see them both mashing.
It's not impossible, especially in a Sufi perspective. The cores of both faiths aren't incompatible, and the understanding of the cosmology is better related when looking through the lens of Sufi saints like Ibn Arabi. Even in the Quran, there are chapters about seeking out similarities between the faiths. However, as history shows us, ambitious conquerors find little satisfaction from compassion when they can't be the sole rulers.
Muslim can't be a sikhra
The whole of truth is the one and the same thing…! The differences between the fates are related to the Geographic Location, the way of interpretation and understanding of the texts and its development through the time and history. Rape and abuse of power are in every society disliked
