Episode 2: In this episode of the Sikh History podcast, and with this background in mind, lets delve deeper into the question of the Sikh identity – Who are the Sikhs? And more importantly what do Sikhs believe in? In this episode, we will try to answer these questions from the teachings of Guru Nanak. 

The word Sikh owes its origin to the language Pali – one of the languages of the common people in 15th century India, and is directly derived from the word Sikkha – In very simple terms it means “a disciple” –– a disciple of the Guru and more specifically, a disciple of Guru Nanak. 

It is no secret that Guru Nanak had become disenchanted with the inequality and injustice he witnessed in the society. In about 1499, he took it upon himself to create a new social order and started to compose sermons of unity of all humanity. Living in Sultanpur, he was joined by Mardana - a Muslim musician who played the rabab or the Lute – who set Guru Nanak’s verses to music and every night they sang the hymns together – they also fed anyone who came to hear the sermons. Sometimes they would also be accompanied by Bala, a hindu peasant – and the three of them then went preaching from village to village. This captured the imagination of the people of Punjab. A large number of people would gather at these sermons and subsequently became disciples of Guru Nanak. Within a few years these disciples became a homogenous group whose faith was exclusively the teachings of Guru Nanak – and this was the origin of the Sikhs. 

Based on The Sikh Moral Tradition by Nripinder Singh,  History of the Sikhs by Khushwant Singh.
