For this discussion board, think about how Sikhism both resembles and differs from Hinduism and Islam. In your own words, explain why you think Sikhism rejected both traditions, paying attention to the beliefs and practices that contrasted Hinduism and Islam, and why you think the surrounding religious communities, particularly the Muslim community, responded as it did. Here you will need to draw upon the textbook and video lectures to demonstrate your knowledge of the founding of Sikhism, the response to it, and the way the Sikh community structured itself due to the response from other traditions – all the while explaining why you think things unfolded the way they did. The goal of this discussion board is not to just demonstrate your familiarity with the history of Sikhism, but also to demonstrate an understanding that the unfolding history of a tradition, and its beliefs and practices, are often due to the unpredictable and incidents that occur throughout its existence.
