The Khalsa is the Sikh community founded by Guru Gobind Singh in 1699.

The word 'Khalsa' means 'pure' in Punjabi.

Anyone who believes in God and is willing to follow the teachings of Guru Gobind Singh can become a member of the Khalsa.

The ceremony in which a Sikh becomes a member of the Khalsa is called the Amrit Ceremony.

The five articles of faith that a Sikh must wear at all times are known as the Five Ks.

The names of the Five Ks are Kesh (uncut hair), Kangha (comb), Kara (steel bracelet), Kirpan (sword), and Kachera (short breeches).

The Five Ks are a sign of Sikh identity and a reminder of the Sikh Gurus.

The Khalsa's mission is to live in peace and harmony with all people.

The Khalsa's code of conduct is called the Sikh Rehat Maryada.

The Khalsa's holy book is the Guru Granth Sahib.

The Khalsa's main festival is Vaisakhi.

The Khalsa has over 20 million members today.

Most Sikhs live in India.

The Khalsa faces a number of challenges today, including discrimination, violence, and assimilation.

The future of the Khalsa is uncertain, but it is likely that it will continue to face challenges.
