• Sukhdev Singh

Guru Nanak, a great campaigner of medieval India's humanism, is best considered the epitome of religious harmony. He dedicated his whole life to upholding unity among people of different faiths. Dissimilar to an ordinary man, from his teenage Nanak started to search for the true meaning of life and a way to bridge the gaps among the followers of different religions. His teachings form the basement of Sikhism and he is regarded as the first Guru of the Sikh religious tradition. The teachings of Guru Nanak can be termed as the model for establishing universal peace by eliminating communal conflicts, which he himself wanted to accomplish throughout his life. In the middle of the fifteenth century when India was suffering from the inhuman caste system, when people were sunk into the oblivion of sin, when mutual respect among the adherents of diverse faiths was vanished and when the entire socio-political system (especially in northern India) was seeking a new reform in the entire cultural-religio sector necessitated the rise of a spiritual leader and social reformer at that hour of need Guru Nanak emerged as a new reformer in the soil of India.
