The rise of the Sikh identity, we need to study the speed of the evolution of ideas, foundations and different concepts, institutions and symbols which developed in the course of history of Sikhism and became the basis of Sikh identity. This will include the beginning and evolution of Sikhism, through the nine original Sikh gurus, until the tenth Guru developed Khalsa, making the physical separation between Hindus and Sikhs. This paper will also include post-khalsa sikh progress, especially in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The development of Sikhism, such as Nirankari, Namdhari and Singh Sabha, will also be discussed and their work in establishing various Sikh personalities. Sikhs were struggling hard to establish themselves as separate identity not only in India but the outside world. When we talk about the identity, in 1968 an interfaith community known as “Gobind Sadan” was developed by Baba Virsa Singh in the rocky hills of South Delhi. Peoples from all faith come here to offer prayers. Gobind Sadan supports its mission by withdrawing wages from green manufacturing. Long-term Gobind Sadan tenants are people from all walks of life, poor and rich, incompetent, educated, co-ordinated as relatives and sisters. They live in direct rooms, run by a free open kitchen (langar), with long sections on the floor side by side. His main goal is to reassert that Truth that all Religion is One, they serve the poor people, provide clothing to the national community, transport medicines to the poor, serves the purpose of universal brotherhood, peace and unity of different faiths.
