His establishment of the Khalsa Panth marked a turning point in Sikh history. By instilling the values of courage, selflessness, and equality, he empowered Sikhs to defend their faith and protect the oppressed. The Khalsa Panth continues to be a source of strength and unity for Sikhs worldwide.

A Call to Action
