 | | Sikhism comes from the word Sikh, which means a disciple. |
 | | While both Buddhism and Jainism were inspired by religious and social ideas that emerged from an exclusively Hindu (or, technically speaking, Vedic) background, Sikhism, a more recent development, has similar links to both Hindu and Islamic ideals as well. |
 | | Sikhism should not, however, be regarded simply as two older religions blended into one, but rather as a genuinely new religion. |
