The founding of the Khalsa order on Vaisakhi Day in 1699 was a watershed moment in Sikh history. Guru Gobind Singh introduced the Nash doctrine, which emphasised the rejection of caste, religion, superstition, clan, and profession in dealings with others. Sikhs formed a sovereign identity apart from traditional society by embodying concepts of service, equality, and compassion in this way, according to Khalsa Vox.
