Gender equality and women’s empowerment in Sikhism – the epitome
of womanhood
1. Sikhism is a revealed Faith, preached by 10 Gurus (lit., the dispellers
of ignorance). The tenth Guru, Guru Gobind Singh ordained the Sikh
scripture, Guru Granth Sahib, to be the living ‘Word Guru’ of the
Sikhs for eternity. It enshrines not only hymns composed by Sikh
Gurus but also those by Hindu and Muslim pious souls. Its universal
message of the Fatherhood of God and brotherhood of mankind is for
the entire humanity.
