description: At the heart of Sikhism are the ten Gurus, who transferred authority from individual leaders to the scriptures and the community itself. "Sikhism" explores how their distinctive beliefs emerged from the Hindu background of the times, how a number of separate sects split off, and how far the ideas of sexual equality have been observed in practice.
