What are your thoughts about Sikhism. I am sure you guys have heard of it. Its followers basically are known as 'Sardars' and they keep a beard and wear turban as they are forbidden to cut their hairs.

Its about 500 years old , Sikhism preaches a message of devotion and remembrance of God at all times, truthful living, equality of mankind and denounces superstitions and blind rituals. I also know they have 10 gurus
