  General Essay on Sikhism
The inclusivist and conservative Singh Sabha of Amritsar (founded in 1873) which largely constituted of Sanatan Sikhs, came to be threatened, and eventually marginalised by the more radical and exclusivist Singh Sabha of Lahore (founded in 1879) which consisted of Tat Khalsa Singhs.
This Singh Sabha activity led to the formation, and to a certain extent, invention of Sikh-ism, (since Sikhs had no separate religious rites de passage for birth, naming, marriage and death) all of which had to be expediently created and grafted onto the Guru's teachings.
Furthermore, the fact that previous to the Singh Sabha and colonial rule, multiple identities were common and acceptable; one could be a Hindu Nanak-panthi (Hindu-Sikh) aswell as a Sikh Sahajdhari (Sikh Nanak-panthi), or a Sikh Keshdhari (Gobind Singh) aswell as a Hindu Gobind Singhi.
