Sikh Theocracy is a culturally center and authoritarian center ideology. Sikh Theocracy is supportive of the Khalistan movement, which is a movement to create sovereign and separated state from India. Sikh Theocracy isn't for coercing Sikhism onto individuals, but rather gathering the existing Sikhs to put under a country of one religion voluntarily.

Sikhs believe in good and bad karma, and reincarnation over various creatures. Essentially, if you find the true purpose of life, your soul is carried away from Earth. If you do not, you are reincarnated back into a human. If you do bad deeds, you will be reincarnated into something that is not a human, e.g. elephant, ant, jaguar, etc. Sikhs often adopt a lacto-vegetarian diet for their lifestyle, though it is often debated by Sikhs whether you can or can't eat meat. Sikh Theocracy is not anti-LGBTQ+ either, as Sikhism has no scriptures about sexuality. Sikhism is a monotheistic religion, believing in a singular God (Waheguru), and Sikhs themselves pray/worship at gurudwaras.

History

Sikhism was created by Guru Nanak around 1526 founded a religious movement that fought superstition and avoided the elaborate rituals, idol worship, and asceticism that marked much of Hindu practice at the time. He preached of a God that resembled that of deism. His followers focused on meditation, cleanliness, and straight-dealing. Though officially they did not recognize caste, they drew mainly from the higher castes.

Sikhs began to intermarry and set up a counterculture. By the time of the fifth Guru, they had become well-established in economic niches (like horse trading) and started building their fortress Temple Amritsar. When the fifth Guru was tortured until he died by the Mughal Emperor Jahangir, the sixth Guru created a secret military order and eventually fought the Mughals. He also encouraged hunting and martial arts as hobbies. The tenth Guru (Guru Gobind Singh) established the Khalsa which are a groups of initiated and very religious Sikhs also know as Amritdhari Sikhs.

When Guru Gobind Singh, who was the last guru of Sikhism, died he called on the holy book (Guru Granth Sahib) to lead the Sikhs religiously and Banda Singh Bahadur to lead them politically. Banda Singh Bahadur formed the Sikh Empire which is the most prominent example of a Sikh Theocracy.

Beliefs

Sikhism has five main things they must have: uncut hair (kesh), a comb (kangha), daggers (kirpan), a steel bracelet (kara), and underwear (kachera). These are known as the five Ks in Sikhism

All of the men have the last name, Singh, meaning lion, to remove their caste origin and focus on their warrior nature. All women adopt the last name of Kaur, meaning Princess.

Sikhs must also avoid the Five Thieves: kam (lust), krodh (wrath), lobh (greed), moh (attachment), and ahankar (pride).
