Sikhism moved from being a pacifistic religion to being a warrior religion. Discuss how this happened. What does this transformation imply about the causes / motives of fundamental change in the historical development of a religion? Should change from a founder’s ideal necessarily be seen as deformation?

Answer:

Due to self defense, resilience and defiance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sikhism is founded on peace but forged by self defense, resilience and defiance transformed it from pacifistic religion to being a warrior religion. Due to their open resistance against cruelty and other social problems make it a warrior religion. Social problems of people and unfair behaviour of the upper class make it a warrior religion instead of pacifistic religion.
