Guru Nanak was so important to the Sikh's because he was the first guru, also he was the one who founded Sikhism, they was no Sikhism before he was born. Guru Nanak believes in one god and Sikh's want to follow that too. You should show that you respect Guru Nanak by calling him Guru Nanak Dev Ji.Guru Nak Dev Ji is a rolemodel to Sikh's because he cared about everyone even the untouchables. You shouldn't touch the untouchables according to everyone except Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Once when he was going to school one morning he touched an untouchable, he dad was ashamed of him but Guru Nanak said " Everyone has got a God in them." When he went to school he got in trouble because he didn't want to learn the alphabet he wanted to learn about God and pray to him. His Teacher wasn't having this behavier and he got suspened.
