Sikhs do not actually have Baptism as Baptism is a Christian term. Sikhs (if they choose to be as adults) are initiated into the Khalsa Sikhs which is a ceremony known as Amrit. During Amrit a Sikh drinks a holy sugared water from a steel bowl. From this time they must adhere to the 5'ks. Kachh, Kangah, Kara, Kesh and Kirpan. Initiation is available to both Men and Women.

You meanGuru Gobind SinghHe was a GURU!But he was the 10th guru and the one that brought out 'khalsa'.He also made the 2nd names 'kaur' and 'singh'He gave Sikhs the 5 k's.
There was a gathering of the all the sikhs and the guru had a tent set up on a hill then he called to everyone "who is willing to take their lives for their religion after a while a man came up the hill and walked into the tent and the guru took out his sword and on the sides of the tent there were drips of blood that was repeated 5 times and at the end the guru opened the door and all the men got out and there was a dead pig on the table and then the 5 men were called Khalsa Sikhs.
Initiated Sikhs (Khalsa Sikhs) carry the Kirpan as part of the five K's which they promise to adhere to on initiation. Kachh (short trousers/underwear), Kara (Steel Bracelet Kangha (Wooden Comb), Kesh (uncut hair), Kirpan (sword).
The 5 Ks date from the creation of the Khalsa Panth by Guru Gobind Singh in 1699. The Guru introduced them for several reasons: * Adopting these common symbols would identify members of the Khalsa * Because all members of the Khalsa wear the 5 Ks the members of the community are more strongly bound together * Each K has a particular significance The meaning of the 5 Ks A simple, plain circular steel bracelet Kara - a steel bracelet © The 5 Ks taken together symbolise that the Sikh who wears them has dedicated themselves to a life of devotion and submission to the Guru. The 5 Ks are 5 physical symbols worn by Sikhs who have been initiated into the Khalsa. The five Ks are: * Kesh (uncut hair) * Kara (a steel bracelet) * Kanga (a wooden comb) * Kaccha - also spelt, Kachh, Kachera (cotton underwear) * Kirpan (steel sword)
Sikhs are generally classified into three groups. This division in not based on their beliefs, practices, or worship.All Sikhs follows same ideas and teachings of their Gurus but the difference is in their Life Style. A Baptized Sikh is called Amrit Dhari Sikh, where Amrit Dhari is who has taken Nectar. A Sikh who keeps his/her hair but is not Baptized is called Kesh Dhari Sikh.(Hair Adopter) A Sikh who cuts hair and shave beard is called Sahaj Dhari Sikhs. (Slow Adopter). Not wearing turbans. They are all Sikhs and hold same views but depending on their devotion they follow their religion. please note, there is one more group which are called Nihang Sikhs, and same things apply here too. Same mode of worship, same idea but difference in life style.
Sikhs make about less than 5% of the worlds population.
Khalsa is the brotherhood that Guru Gobind Singh created in 1699. The first thing Khalsa men and women believe in is One God, the God of all people. Following that, Khalsa is ordered to live a pure and non prejudice life. They are to help all righteous people, abolish evil & sin, and keep the 5 K's (Kanga, Kesh, Kacharra, Kirpan, & Kara).
some women Sikh's also wear a turban. the purpose of the turban is to keep the hair clean. some women prefer to use a scarf as opposed to a turban. but even if they do wear one, it is tied differently than a man's.
It's one of the 5 k's
