Guru Nanak Dev ji founded Sikhism. He is the first Sikh in the world, who is Sikh by birth. Origin of the Sikhism is same as the birth time and place of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. ( i.e. 15 April, 1469. Place: Rai Bhoi di Talwandi which is in Pakistan now. Also known as Nankana Sahib now a days.)

(Note: Some people say that Sikhism is originated from Hinduism, or It is originated to protect Hindus from Mugals / others who used to attack Hindustan at that time. All these opinions are totally meaningless.)
