"The principles of Sikhism represented a harmonious blend of Islamic and Indic religious beliefs and practices." Comment.
Verified Answer
Guru Nanak synthesized Nirguna Bhakti monotheism with Islamic-Sufi egalitarian ideals. Sikhism rejected caste hierarchies, ritualism, and idol worship, emphasizing devotion to the formless Divine (Ik Onkar), karma, and rebirth. Institutions like Langar (community kitchen) and Sangat operationalized universal human brotherhood across religious divisions.
