Who follows Sikhism?
In Sikhism the supreme god is Guru Nanak Devi ji. Why I say Supreme is because they aren't the only one we worship. There are 11 main Gods starting from Guru Nanak Dev ji, Guru Angad ji, Guru Amar Das ji, Guru Ram Das ji, Guru Arjun Devi ji, Guru Har Gobind ji, Guru Har Rai ji, Guru Harkrishan ji, Guru Teg Bahadur ji, Guru Gobind Singh ji, and one important one not to forget Guru Granth Sahib ji. (Although Guru Granth Sahib isn't a person we believe that it is the "words" of God. so it's sort of our Bible.) Hope this helped :)

Write a short note on The Kuka Movement?
Kuka(Namdhari) Movement started in the Punjab in year 1872. This movement originated mainly to seek purification of the Sikhism. Jawar Mal and Ram Singh were two leaders of this movement. Namdhari (also known as Kukas) are a sect of Sikhism. The main difference between Namdhari Sikhs and mainstream Sikhs is their belief in Jagjit Singh as their living Guru (as opposed to the Guru Granth Sahib, the present Guru of Sikhs). Other differences include being: strict vegetarians; placing equal importance between the Guru Granth Sahib (Adi Granth) and the Dasam Granth (the holy book written by the 10th Guru, Guru Gobind Singh). Namdhari Sikhs are also very well known in the classical musical circles, producing stellar classical music artists like the Grammy award winning tabla player Sukhwinder Singh
