Sikhism (Punjabi: ਸਿੱਖੀ, sikkhī), is a panentheistic religion based on the teachings of ten Gurus who lived in northern India during the 16th and 17th centuries.

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.
