Excerpt: A Sikh (English pronunciation: or ; Punjabi: , ) is a follower of Sikhism. It is classified under Indian Religions, primarily originating in the 15th century in the Punjab region of Pre-Partition India. The term 'Sikh' has its origin in Sanskrit term ¿¿¿¿¿ (), meaning 'disciple, student' or ¿¿¿¿¿ (), meaning 'instruction'. A Sikh is a disciple of the Guru. According to Article I of the 'Rehat Maryada' (the Sikh code of conduct and conventions), a Sikh is defined as 'any human being who faithfully believes in One Immortal Being; ten Gurus, from Guru Nanak Dev to Sri Guru Gobind Singh; Sri Guru Granth Sahib; the teachings of the ten Gurus and the baptism bequeathed by the tenth Guru; and who does not owe allegiance to any other religion'.
