context_page_description: The Sikhism came into existence after repeated invasion of barbaric muslim invaders upon hindu community. The elder son of every hindu family was nominated and was represented as Sardar and had protected their family and community from the Muslims goons and their tortures. Sikhism was coined by Guru Nanak Dev Ji. He was the first Guru of the fifteenth century in the Punjab region in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent. The religious practices were formalised by Guru Gobind Singh Ji on 13 April 1699. The latter baptised five persons from different parts of India and had different social backgrounds to form Khalsa. The first five, Pure Ones, then baptised Gobind Singh ji into the Khalsa fold. This gives the order of Khalsa, a history of around 300 years.
  The history of Sikhism is closely associated with the history of Punjab and the socio-political situation in the north-west of the Indian subcontinent in the 16th century. From the rule of India by the Mughal Emperor Jahangir, Sikhism came into conflict with Mughal laws, because they were affecting political successions of Mughals while cherishing saints from Islam.
context_section_description: Jassa Singh Ramgarhia occupied the area to the north of Amritsar between the Ravi and the Beas rivers. He also added the Jalandhar region and Kangra hill areas to his estate. He had his capital in Sri Hargobindpur, a town founded by the sixth Guru. The large size of Ramgarhia's territory aroused the jealousy of the other Sikh Misls.
