Best Answer

A Hindu named Nanak started Sikhism, in the fifteenth century. It started in Punjab, in India. Guru Nanak started Sikhism as he believed that everybody was equal. Back in his day, people where either Hindu or Muslim. They also had a Caste System, meaning that the poor could NEVER under any circumstances touch the rich or the more powerful. Nanak did not believe in that, and when he became in contact with God he said that God had told him to spread his word.
