Creation of Khalsa Panth in 1699 by Guru Gobind Singh Ji 

The establishment of Khalsa Panth, a Sikh Warrior Community, in the year 1699 was a part of the contribution of Guru Gobind Singh Ji to the Sikh Community. At that time, the Mughal king Aurangzeb wanted the Sikh people to convert to the Islamic religion. Guru Tegh Bahadur ended his life by fighting for his community in Delhi. His suffering death made Guru Gobind Singh to form a Khalsa community in 1699, along with other warriors. He did this to protect innocent people from converting to Islam. 

The tradition became a new ceremony for Sikh warriors whose duty was to protect people from religious ill-treatment. Guru Gobind Singh introduced the idea of a 5K. This tradition was for all the Sikh men who had to carry these five things compulsorily: Kesh (uncut hair), Kangha (a wooden comb), Kara (an iron bracelet), Kirpan (a sharp-pointed knife), and Kacchera (short breeches or short trousers).
