This was an order of Sikhs who were founded to defend the defenseless in the name of Waheguru (God). At one time it was said you could go up to a Khalsa and slap him (or her) and he (or she) would not strike you, however if you attacked another person they would try to stop you. For that purpose they carried a Kirpan (hand of mercy) which is a knife or sword. Unfortunately some groups view the Khalsa as the only true Sikhs.
