: Growth of sikh religion : : As per my knowledge world religions can be divided into two categories : : semetic/western: judaism , christianty , islam : oriental/ eastern : hinduism , jainism , buddhism : Clash of these two absolutely divergent religious cultures took place in punjab of Indian subcontinent for 500 years i.e 1000 ad afterwards and as the difference in doctrine was irreconciable a new religion was born in punjab by name of sikhism in 1500 ad it can be called a religion or efforts by sikh gurus to reconcile the difference in both religious systems. This new faith has survived for 500 years trying to reconcile the eastern/oriental spiritual values with the western / semetic power values . : Western religion are expansion oriented hence there is voilence beween jews / christians / muslims but as they have the energy also they are among most resourceful religions of the world. : Eastern religion are more spiritual / non expansionist hence voilence is less but due to less energy progress is also comparitively less . : Pure sikhism with khalsa as true sikh has the doctrine base to combine both the philosphy but it is applicable only if real teachings of the tenth guru of sikhs is followed in words and deeds and not by only wearing 5 k's and showing yourself to be sikhs . : The tenth guru of the sikhs is till date the last prophet born on this earth who has been considered having divinity by many sikhs and non sikhs alike particularly from indian subcontinent . : This new religion in its pure form is only 300 years old compared to all other major religions of world which are minimum 1500 to 5000 years old. : So seeing the history so far and survival of this religion in its pure form for 300 years and growth of its Khalsa membership to more then 20 million may mean that people of other religious groups particularly Muslims/ Hindus may now be convinced that this is after all a new religion based on independent thought process so that hostility of some of there members towards sikhs is reduced and hopefully sikhs are able to live peacefully with two such dominant / awesome religious groups.
