The '''BCCI Corporate Trophy''' was an Indian [[cricket]] competition. It was established in 2009 by the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India]] (BCCI) as a 12-team inter-corporate tournament beginning at the start of the Indian cricket season before the start of the [[Ranji Trophy]] competition. This tournament was a 50-over a side tournament involving [[corporate]] teams. All the top Indian cricketers were expected to play along with academy cricket players and those who play regular domestic cricket in India.<ref name="cricinfo1">{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/india/content/story/416517.html |title=Top Indian players likely for corporate tournament | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo |publisher=Cricinfo.com |date=2009-07-27 |access-date=2015-12-24}}</ref>

==History==
The corporate trophy acts as a high-profile starter to the Indian domestic cricket season. The BCCI's prime objective is to promote employment opportunities for domestic cricketers in India's corporate houses.{{citation needed|date=August 2012}} The board has invited 12 corporate teams to take part which will involve some of [[India|India's]] top [[cricketer]]s.

The winners collect {{INR}} 10 million ({{USD}}204,272) while the runners-up receive {{INR}} 5 million ({{USD}}102,109) however, unlike the [[Indian Premier League]] (IPL) no foreign players would take part.

The tournament initially involved players formerly from the now-defunct [[Indian Cricket League]] (ICL). Some of the ICL players said that after the announcement of the Corporate Trophy, they had received calls from their employers asking them to cut ties with the rebel league.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/india/content/story/422814.html |title=Star-studded welcome for Corporate Trophy | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo |publisher=Cricinfo.com |date=2009-08-31 |access-date=2015-12-24}}</ref>

The [[2009–10 BCCI Corporate Trophy|inaugural]] was won by [[Air India Red Cricket Team|Air India Red]] after they beat [[Air India Blue Cricket Team|Air India Blue]] by 93 runs in the final.

{{Sikhism sidebar}}
'''Jainism''' ([[Help:IPA/English|/ˈdʒeɪnɪzəm/]]), traditionally known as '''''Jain Dharma''''', is an ancient [[Religion in India|Indian religion]]. [[Dharma (Jainism)|Jain dharma]] traces its spiritual ideas and history through a succession of twenty-four leaders or ''[[Tirthankara|tirthankaras]]'', with the first in current time cycle being [[Rishabhanatha|Lord Rishabhanatha]], whom the Jain tradition holds to have lived millions of years ago, the twenty-third ''tirthankara'' [[Parshvanatha]] whom historians date to 8th or 7th century BCE, and the 24th ''tirthankara'', [[Mahāvīra]] around 500 BCE. Jains believe that Jainism is an eternal ''dharma'' with the ''tirthankaras'' guiding every cycle of the [[Jain cosmology]].

The main religious premises of the Jain dharma are ''[[Ahimsa in Jainism|ahiṃsā]]'' (non-violence), ''[[anekāntavāda]]'' (many-sidedness), ''[[aparigraha]]'' (non-attachment) and ''[[asceticism]]'' (abstinence from sensual pleasures). Devout Jains take five main vows: ''[[ahiṃsā]]'' (non-violence), ''[[satya]]'' (truth), ''[[Achourya|asteya]]'' (not stealing), ''[[brahmacharya]]'' (sexual continence), and ''[[aparigraha]]'' (non-possessiveness). These principles have affected Jain culture in many ways, such as leading to a predominantly vegetarian lifestyle. ''[[Parasparopagraho Jīvānām]]'' (the function of souls is to help one another) is its motto and the ''[[Ṇamōkāra mantra]]'' is its most common and basic prayer.

While, '''Sikhism''' ([[Help:IPA/English|/ˈsɪkɪzəm/]]); [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]]: ਸਿੱਖੀ or '''Sikhi''' (''Sikkhī'', [[Help:IPA/Punjabi|[ˈsɪkːʰiː]]], from ਸਿੱਖ, ''[[Sikh]]'', 'disciple', 'seeker', or 'learner'), is a monotheistic religion that originated in the [[Punjab region|Punjab]] region of the [[Indian subcontinent]] around the end of the 15th century [[Common Era|CE]]. One of the youngest of the [[Major religious groups|major religions]] and the [[List of religious populations|world's fifth-largest organized religion]], it comprises about 25 million [[Sikhs]] as of the early-21st century. However, according to rough estimates, there are around 120–150 million (12–15 [[crore]]) Nanak Naam Lewas people across the world who also believe in 10 Sikh gurus and the ''[[Guru Granth Sahib]]''.{{cn}}

Sikhism developed from the spiritual teachings of [[Guru Nanak]], the first Guru (1469–1539), and of the nine [[Sikh gurus]] who succeeded him. The tenth guru, [[Guru Gobind Singh|Gobind Singh]] (1676-1708), named the Sikh scripture ''[[Guru Granth Sahib]]'' as his successor, bringing to a close the line of human gurus and establishing the scripture as the eternal, religious spiritual guide for Sikhs. Guru Nanak taught that living an "active, creative, and practical life" of "truthfulness, fidelity, self-control and purity" is above the metaphysical truth, and that the ideal man "establishes union with God, knows His Will, and carries out that Will". [[Guru Hargobind]], the sixth Sikh Guru (1606-1644), established the concept of the mutual co-existence of the [[Miri piri|''miri'']] (political/temporal) and ''piri'' (spiritual) realms.

==History==
[[File:Maharaja Ranjit Singh in a bazaar, ca. 1840-45.jpg|thumb|Maharaja Ranjit Singh in a bazaar, ca. 1840-45. A Jain monk can be spotted on the bottom-left (mouth covered and wearing white)]]
The sacred books of [[Jainism]] are called [[Agama (Hinduism)|Agamas]]. The Jaina Agamas or scriptures are the works of the immediate disciples of Mahavira. The first sacred books of the Jaina are in [[Prakrit]] or [[Ardhamagadhi Prakrit|Ardha Magadhi]] language. They were given their written form in the 5th century at [[Vallabhi]], in Gujarat. Dr. [[Joshi|L.M. Joshi]] is of the opinion that the literature of Jainism is vast and varied. Its subject matter includes not only ascetic culture, morality, religion and philosophy, but also fables fairy-tales, legendary romances, history, hagiography, mythology and cosmology. "The body of literature known as Agamas includes a large number of texts. These are divided into two classes" Anga Agamas or the original twelve books and Angabahya Agamas or the texts outside of the original twelve books.

The Jain Scriptures are the source books of Jain ethics, yoga, religion, philosophy and mythology. The [[Tattvartha Sutra]] is a famous book which summarizes Jain teachings. The [[Acharanga Sutra]] deals chiefly with the ethical conduct and discipline of monks. The [[Kalpa Sūtra|Kalpasutra]] describes in detail the life-story of Mahavira. A most remarkable description of hells is given in Sutrakritanga. The Sthananga discusses dogmatic topics, The Upasakadasha deals with pious men of the time of Mahavira. The contents of other book are mixed and varied. They deal with myths and legends, ethical and monastic discipline, hells and heavens, cosmology and astrology.

The Jain system, like the [[Buddhism|Buddhist]], is non-theistic. It does not acknowledge the existence of a Creator God. Another important feature is that it is a pluralistic system. The atmans are many, infinite in number. Moksha is not absorption into the supreme but the attainment of a perfect, luminous and blessed atman which is without body and without actions.

Philosophically, an important contribution of Jainism is the doctrine of [[anekantavada]]. The Jaina thinkers thought that reality can be examined from many (aneka) standpoints (anta). A thing can be described from at least seven standpoints (saptabhangi) and all can be equally true. This doctrine has contributed to the tolerance of contrary opinions among theologians and philosophers. In modern times, when exclusive claims of religions are under strain, this doctrine has a special relevance and meaning.

[[Sikhism]], ([[Gurmukhi]]: ਸਿੱਖੀ ), amongst the youngest of the major world religions, originated and primarily developed in the 15th-17th century sub-continental India (South Asia). The word ''Sikhi'' derives from the word ''Sikh'', which itself is based on the [[Sanskrit]] root "śiṣya" (शिष्यः), meaning a "disciple" or "learner". [[Guru Nanak|Guru Nanak Dev Ji]] was the founder of Sikhi. He was born in 1469 in the village of [[Nankana Sahib]], near [[Lahore]] in present-day [[Pakistan]]. The faith system is based on the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and ten successive Sikh Gurus (divine messengers or enlighteners), with the last one being the revealed sacred scripture, [[Guru Granth Sahib]]. This system of religious philosophy and expression has been traditionally known as Gurmat (literally the counsel of the Gurus) or the Sikh Dharma. With around 30 million followers worldwide, Sikhism is the fifth largest organized religion in the world.

The principal belief of Sikhism is faith in [[Waheguru|Waheguruji]] — represented using the sacred symbol of [[Ik Onkar|ik onkar]], the Universal God. Sikhism advocates the pursuit of salvation through disciplined, personal meditation on the name and message of God. A key distinctive feature of Sikhism is a non-anthropomorphic concept of God, to the extent that one can interpret God as the entire creation itself.

The followers of Sikhism, or Sikhs, are ordained to follow the teachings of the ten Sikh Gurus, enshrined in the holy scripture the Guru Granth Sahib. While compiling the scripture, the fifth Sikh Guru, [[Guru Arjan|Guru Arjan Dev Ji]] incorporated not only the writings of the Sikh Gurus, but also included selected works of many devotees and saints from diverse socio-economic and religious backgrounds, who believed in the unity of God and denounced caste and superstition. The text was decreed by [[Guru Gobind Singh|Guru Gobind Singh Ji]], the tenth and last human guru, as the final guru of the [[Khalsa|Khalsa Panth]].

Sikhism's traditions and teachings are distinctively associated with the history, society and culture of the Punjab region, the traditional homeland of the Sikhs and the site of the Sikh Empire. Presently, a majority of the Sikhs live in Punjab, India, and until India's partition in 1947, one million of Sikhs had lived in what is now Pakistani Punjab. Besides Sikhi and Gurmat, Sikhism is also referred to as Aad-Matt (the primal counsel).

=== Gujranwala dispute ===
[[File:Shrine_of_Vijayanandsuri_Atmaramji_Gujranwala.jpg|thumb|Shrine of [[Vijayanandsuri|Acharya Vijayanand Suri]] located in Gujranwala that some have disputed as being the ''samadhi'' of Charat Singh. Photograph from Chicago Prashnottar, 1918]]
A ''[[Samadhi (shrine)|samadhi]]'' (Indic cenotaph tomb) of [[Charat Singh]] is believed by some Sikhs to be located at [[Gujranwala]], near the Sheranwala Bagh. [[Jainism|Jains]] dispute this and claim the structure is a [[Jain temple]] built in memory of a Jain scholar named [[Vijayanandsuri|Acharya Vijayanand Suri]], whose father served in the military of Maharaja Ranjit Singh as an official.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Qureshi |first=Tania |title=City of Sikh heritage — Gujranwala |url=http://archive.pakistantoday.com.pk/2016/12/11/city-of-sikh-heritage-gujranwala/ |access-date=2023-02-06 |website=Pakistan Today |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Butt |first=Muhammad Azam |title=Historical places a picture of neglect in Gujranwala |url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/590240-historical-places-a-picture-of-neglect-in-gujranwala |access-date=2023-02-06 |website=The News International, Pakistan |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Omer |first=Shahab |title=Samadhi of Atmaram Ji declared as ‘special premises’ |url=https://archive.pakistantoday.com.pk/2019/05/27/samadhi-of-atmaram-ji-declared-as-declared-as-special-premises/ |access-date=2023-02-06 |website=Pakistan Today |language=en-GB |quote=They said that this place was also mentioned as the Samadhi of Charat Singh by some people and it got viral on social media which had ignited the Jain community. 'With the protection of the place we also feel that the true spirit and history of this place should be highlighted and it should be turned into a religious site for Jain followers,' said the sources.}}</ref> This theory is further refuted by the ''Umdat-ut-Tawarikh'', a chronicle on the reign of Ranjit Singh and his successors by Sohan Lal Suri, the court recorder of the Sikh Empire. The chronicle states that Ranjit Singh, after leaving a village named Halla, paid a visit to his grandfather's samadhi on 5 October 1838 located near a village named Jalal. It further states he made an ''[[Ardās|ardas]]'' and a donation of 200 rupees. After the visit, he left for a village called Karala.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Suri |first=Lala Sohan Lal |url=http://www.panjabdigilib.org/webuser/searches/displayPage.jsp?ID=2892&page=1&CategoryID=1&Searched=W3GX&sbtsro=1&viewall=1 |title=Umdat-ut-Tawarikh - An Outstanding Original Source of Panjab History - Chronicle of the Reign of Maharaj Ranjit Singh, 1831-1839 A.D., by Lala Sohan Lal Suri - Vakil at the Court of Lahore - Translated from Persian by V.S. Suri |publisher=S. Chand |year=1961 |pages=533 |translator-last=Suri |translator-first=Vidya Sagar}}</ref> Therefore, the samadhi of Charat Singh is located near a village named Jalal, not Gujranwala.

When he did he only said one phrase- "Na Koi Hindu, Na koi Musalman" (No one is Hindu, No one is Muslim)". Guru Nanak had discourses with many rulers and spirituals about how they were treating the peasants including [[Babur]] and The [[Pope]]. He later went to North Sri Lanka to learn the faith of the South Indians and Tibet to meet the [[Dalai Lama]].

He was made to sit on a boiling plate and then dip into the freezing [[Beas River|Beas]] River. He also created the Golden Temple or Darbar Sahib.
# [[Guru Hargobind|Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji-]] After Guru Arjan Dev ji was he gave him an order, that Sikhs should know how to defend themselves. Instead of the Tikka Guru Hargobind Sahib ji came out of the Darbar Sahib with two swords, the Miri and the Piri, one for Spirituality and one for Justice, this inspired many quotes such as [[Sant Sipahi]] and [[Deg Tegh Fateh|Degh Tegh Fateh.]] He fought many battles with both [[Jahangir]] and [[Shah Jahan]]. He also raised a fort in front of the Darbar Sahib ,The [[Akal Takht]], being tilted 22 degrees away from the Darbar Sahib directly at [[Red Fort]] challenging Mughal authority.

He is the only prophet in the world to die for another faith.[[File:Takhat Sri Kesgarh Sahib, Anandpur Sahib 08.jpg|thumb|Qila Anandgarh Sahib or The Fort of Bliss made to protect Anandpur against the Hindu Hill Chieftains]]
#[[Guru Gobind Singh|Shah-i-Shenshah Guru Gobind Singh Ji]]- After Guru Tegh Bahadur ji's martyrdom Guru Gobind Singh Ji created many poems compositions and letters, including Fatehnamah, Ugardandis, Lakhi Jungle Khalsa, Hikayatan, Akal Ustat, Japji Sahib etc, these were incorporated into the [[Dasam Granth]] and [[Sarbloh Granth]] respectively. He stayed at Anandpur Sahib for most of his life and the Hindu Hill Chieftains were jealous of his riches so the Kingdoms of [[Kahlur Fort|Kahlur]], [[Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh|Bilaspur]], [[Garhwal division|Garhwal]] and some common Hindus made an alliance to fight him. He and the kingdom of [[Una, Himachal Pradesh|Una]] allied and won the Battle of Bhangani. The even more Himachali states allied and still lost to the Guruji. This showed the Guruji's influence and military strength in the area. The Hindu chieftains allied with [[Wazir Khan (Sirhind)|Wazir Khan]] of Sirhind and the [[Lahore Subah|Subedar of Lahore]] and together they still lost. One day Guruji started retreating from [[Anandpur Sahib]] and he got separated with his two sons aged 5 and 9 due to the cold Satluj River. [[File:Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib - Anandpur Sahib.jpg|thumb|Takht Dhan Keshgarh Sahib one of the [[Panj Takht]].]][[File:Hazur Sahib, Nanded, Maharashtra, September 2012.jpg|thumb|Takht Dhan Hazur Sahib, the place where Guru Gobind Singh Ji took his last breath]]He entrusted his brahmin cook, Gangu Brahmin, to take care of them but Gangu Brahmin sold them to Wazir Khan. In the meantime Aurangzeb dispatched 50,000-75,000 troops to attack the Guruji. after he sent his elder sons and 42 others to fight only 17,000 Mughals came back alive, his elder sons died on the battlefield. The younger sons and their grandmother remained trapped in the same week that their brothers died. Wazir Khan said that he would give them riches if they convert and immurement if they do not, they chose death, till now [[Fateh Singh (Sikhism)|Sahibzada Fateh Singh]] is the youngest Martyr in the history of the World. Guru Gobind Singh Ji sent his letter of victory or [[Zafarnama (letter)|Zafarnamah]] to Aurangzeb and they signed a treaty. Later when Aurangzeb Died and the Guruji was in [[Rajputana]] there was a war of succession between Muhammad Azam Shah and Bahadur Shah I and Guru Gobind Singh Ji sided with Bahadur Shah I who was secular in his views and Muhammad Azam Shah was killed by a Sikh soldier. On his way to Aurangabad the Guruji was stabbed three times in his lungs and he woke up and killed the assassin. He survived for three more weeks and went to his heavenly abode in Nanded, Maharashtra.

==Mutual Cooperation==
Author [[Khushwant Singh|Khushvant Singh]] notes that many eminent Jains never shied from helping the cause of an ascetic. They tremendously helped the Sikh [[guru]]s by coming to their help in difficult times.<ref name=KS>{{cite news|publisher=[[The Telegraph (Kolkata)|The Telegraph]] |url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1091107/jsp/opinion/story_11704316.jsp |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101231060533/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1091107/jsp/opinion/story_11704316.jsp |url-status=dead |archive-date=31 December 2010 |title= An Ancient Brotherhood |author=Khushwant Singh |author-link=Khushwant Singh |access-date= 2009-11-10}}</ref> When the ninth Sikh guru, [[Guru Tegh Bahadur]], was on his preaching mission in eastern India, he and his family were invited by Salis Rai Johri to stay in his ''[[haveli]]'' in Patna. In his [[hukamnama]]s sent from Assam, the guru referred to Patna as ''guru-ka-ghar'', meaning "home of the guru". Salis Rai donated half of his haveli to build a [[gurdwara]], Janam Sthan, because [[Guru Gobind Singh]] was born there. On the other half, he built a [[Śvētāmbara]] [[Jain temple]]; both have a common wall.

[[Pandit Todarmal|Todar Mal]] was an [[Oswal]] Jain who rose to become the diwan in the court of [[Nawab]] Wazir Khan of [[Sirhind-Fategarh|Sirhind]]. When the Nawab had Guru Gobind Singh's two younger sons put to death, [[Jahaz Haveli#Diwan Todar Mal|Todar Mal]] conveyed the sad news to their grandmother—who died of shock. Diwan Todar Mal donated his own family gold to purchase a small piece of land to cremate the young sons of the guru. He had built [[Gurdwara Jyoti Sarup]] on the site of the cremation at [[Fatehgarh Sahib]]. A large hall of the gurdwara honours the builder by being named after him: Diwan [[Jahaz Haveli#Diwan Todar Mal|Todar Mal]] Jain Yadagiri Hall.<ref name=KS />

==Practices and differences==

===Diwali===
[[Diwali]] is celebrated by both religions. Although Sikhs celebrate the day as [[Bandi Chhor Divas]], the homecoming to [[Amritsar]] of the sixth Sikh Guru, [[Guru Hargobind]] from [[Gwalior]]. The release of 52 Rajas from the fort of Gwalior is attributed to this Guru.

For Jains, Diwali is the celebration of the 24th [[Tirthankara]] Mahavira, attaining [[Moksha (Jainism)|Nirvana]] on this day at [[Pawapuri|Pavapuri]] on October 15, 527 BCE, on Chaturdashi of Karti.

===Ahimsa and vegetarianism===
{{see also|Ahimsa in Jainism}}
[[File:Contemporary or near-contemporary depiction of Guru Gobind Singh hunting lion.jpg|thumb|Contemporary depiction of [[Guru Gobind Singh]] hunting an [[Asiatic lion]]]]
Jains are strictly [[vegetarian]]<ref>"Sikh Identity: An Exploration of Groups Among Sikhs" by Opinderjit Kaur Takhar, pg. 51, Ashgate Publishing, Ltd, 2005, {{ISBN|0-7546-5202-5}}</ref> as it is a sin to kill any animal including a beetle or an ant.

The majority of Sikhs believe that in Sikhism, eating meat is left up to the individual's conscience, which should be [[Jhatka]] as practiced in most Indian cultures. [[Khushwant Singh]] also notes that most Sikhs are meat-eaters and decry vegetarians as daal khorey (lentil-eaters).<ref name=KS /> Sikh scriptures however, promotes eating conscious [[Vegetarianism]] for spiritual awareness and having less impact on environment.<ref>{{Cite web|title=What does this mean in practice? - Animal rights - GCSE Religious Studies Revision|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zppykqt/revision/6|access-date=2021-03-28|website=BBC Bitesize|language=en-GB}}</ref> Sikh who take [[Amrit Sanskar|Amrit]] are vegetarians.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.waht.nhs.uk/en-GB/NHS-Mobile/Our-Services/?depth=4&srcid=2008#:~:text=Diet,made%20from%20non%20animal%20rennet.|access-date=2021-03-28|website=www.waht.nhs.uk}}</ref> The food served in [[gurudwara]]s is invariably vegetarian in order to accommodate all sections of society. Although [[Halal]] and [[Kashrut|Kosher]] are banned for Sikhs.

On the views that eating vegetation would be eating flesh, first Sikh [[Guru Nanak]] states:
{{Quote| ਪਾਂਡੇ ਤੂ ਜਾਣੈ ਹੀ ਨਾਹੀ ਕਿਥਹੁ ਮਾਸੁ ਉਪੰਨਾ ॥ ਤੋਇਅਹੁ ਅੰਨੁ ਕਮਾਦੁ ਕਪਾਹਾਂ ਤੋਇਅਹੁ ਤ੍ਰਿਭਵਣੁ ਗੰਨਾ ॥
O Pandit, you do not know where did flesh originate! It is water where life originated and it is water that sustains all life. It is water that produces grains, sugarcane, cotton and all forms of life.
|''First Mehl'', AGGS, M 1, p 1290.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.gurbani?Action=Page&Param=1290&g=1&h=1&r=1&t=1&p=0&k=0 |title=Sri Guru Granth Sahib |publisher=Sri Granth |access-date=2009-08-09}}</ref> }}

[[Ahimsa]] for the Jains is a code of practice to always be kind and compassionate and prevent hurt to oneself and others. Sikhs reject Ahimsa.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sikhs.org/relig_j.htm |title=Sikhism Religion of the Sikh People |publisher=Sikhs.org |access-date=2012-04-21}}</ref> There are occasional references to Jainism in the Guru Granth Sahib and other Sikh texts.<ref>http://www.srigranth.org - Guru Nanak, Slok, pg. 149- ''They have their heads plucked, drink dirty water and repeatedly beg and eat other's leavings. They spread out ordure, with their mouths, suck its ordure and dread to look at water. With hands smeared with ashes, they have their heads plucked like sheep. The daily routine of their mothers and fathers they give up, and their kith and kin bewail loudly. For them none gives barley rolls and food on leaves, nor performs last rites, nor lights earthen lamp. After death where shall they be cast? The sixty-eight places of pilgrimage grant them no refuge, and Pandits eat not their food. They ever remain filthy day and night, and bear not sacrificial marks on their brow. They ever sit in groups, as if mourning and go not into the True Court. With begging bowls slung round their loins and a clew in their hands, they walk in single file. They are neither disciples of Gorakh nor adorers of Shiva, nor Muslim Qazis and Mullah's.''

===Asceticism===
Sikhism rejects [[asceticism]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sikhcouncilusa.org/page.aspx?tabname=Sikhism |title=''Sikhism rejects asceticism and encourages full participation in family and workday life and responsibility as the framework within which to seek God'' |publisher=Sikhcouncilusa.org |access-date=2012-04-21}}</ref><ref>[http://www.allaboutsikhs.com/introduction/introduction-to-sikhism.html - '''''Sikhism''' rejects idolatry, the caste system, ritualism, and asceticism''] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090410185607/http://www.allaboutsikhs.com/introduction/introduction-to-sikhism.html }}</ref> - The Gurus lived as householders.

{{quote|Asceticism doesn't lie in ascetic robes, or in walking staff, nor in the ashes. Asceticism doesn't lie in the earring, nor in the shaven head, nor blowing a conch. Asceticism lies in remaining pure amidst impurities. Asceticism doesn't lie in mere words; He is an ascetic who treats everyone alike. Asceticism doesn't lie in visiting burial places, It lies not in wandering about, nor in bathing at places of pilgrimage. Asceticism is to remain pure amidst impurities. (Suhi)}}

[[Jain community]] is a fourfold order of male monastics (''muni''), female monastics (''aryika'') and householder (''[[Śrāvaka (Jainism)|Śrāvaka and Śrāvika]])''

===Other practices===
A Sikh is bound to the Truth at all times and practices god Consciousness through [[Nam Simran]] and selfless service (Sewa). Jains, too, place high regard in prayers and meditation.

Sikhs reject the caste system and promote social and gender equality, as the soul is the same for both men and women. All are equal in the eyes of God. God is accessible without priests or a middle person. Sikhs and Jains, like Hindus, are expected to be tolerant of all faiths and do not believe that any one path has a monopoly on the Truth. There are many paths to seek out the Love of God and incur [[Divine Grace]]. In fact to call another's path inferior is a sign of ignorance and intolerance. Both personal devotion and communal prayers are a part of Sikh's way of life.

== Politics and War ==
The Jain Dharma states that one must be completely differentiated from worldly objects like politics and war and that these should be avoided. No joining the army and no killing of any sort, unless it is absolutely necessary. One incident from the Rajasthan State of India shows a Jain praying in the midst of a war and when asked about the meaning of praying while simultaneously killing, he replied, "The killing is for the protection of the state. The prayer is for the protection of the soul." Jainism permits participation in wars, but only for self defence. Starting a war is considered a sin. This is the reason that all the [[Tirthankara|Tirthankaras]] were princes of kingdoms and is symbolic that politics has no meaning.

The 27th Hukam of Guru Gobind Singh Ji states- Maintain independent rule. "In the affairs of governing, do not give the power of religious authority to others, bow your head to the Khalsa and no other state" like the [[Mughal Empire|Mughals]], [[Afghans]], [[Sikh Empire]], [[India]] etc. The 30th Hukam of Guru Gobind Singh Ji states- "Train in the skills of weaponry and horsemanship" this reiterates the fact that each Khalsa is a fauj or army, if an oppressor is killing others the Khalsa are like policeman and will fight them. Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji fought against [[Shah Jahan]] and [[Jahangir|Jehangir]] and [[Guru Gobind Singh|Shah-I-Shenshah Guru Gobind Singh Ji]] fought against [[Muhammad Azam Shah]] and [[Wazir Khan (Sirhind)|Wazir Khan]] of Sirhind who oppressed innocents.

==Concept of God==
{{see also|God in Jainism|God in Sikhism}}
Jains do not believe in the concept of a [[God]] head responsible for the manifestation of the [[Creationism|Creation]]. They believe the universe is eternal, without beginning or end, and that all happens in an autonomous fashion with no necessity of a coordinator/God.

Sikhism is a [[monotheistic religion]], believing in the singular power of the Formless Creator God, [[Ik Onkaar]], without a parallel.

==Customs==

During the 18th century, there were a number of attempts to prepare an accurate portrayal of Sikh customs. Sikh scholars and theologians started in 1931 to prepare the Reht Maryada—the Sikh code of conduct and conventions. This has successfully achieved a high level of uniformity in the religious and social practices of Sikhism throughout the world. It contains 27 articles. Article 1 defines who is a Sikh:

{{Quote|Any human being who faithfully believes in:

*One Immortal Being,
*Ten Gurus, from Guru Nanak Dev to Guru Gobind Singh,
*The Guru Granth Sahib,
*The utterances and teachings of the ten Gurus and the baptism bequeathed by the tenth Guru, and who does not owe allegiance to any other religion, is a Sikh.''}}

[[Fasting]] is an accepted practice for the Jains. A Sikh will eat to partially satisfy the hunger at all times.

Where the Guru Granth Sahib is present, that place becomes a Gurdwara. The focal point of worship in a Gurdwara (the gateway to God) is the eternal teachings of Guru Granth Sahib -the Shabad (Word) Guru.

Jains exhibit the statues of their Tirthankaras in their temples. Special shrines in residences or in public temples include images of the Tirthankaras, who are not worshiped but remembered and revered; other shrines house images of deities who are more properly invoked to intercede with worldly problems. Daily rituals may include meditation and bathing; bathing the images; offering food, flowers, and lighted lamps for the images; and reciting mantras in Ardhamagadhi, an ancient language of northeast India related to Sanskrit.

Jainism express non violence in thought, word and action. Sikhism seeks peace; when all other means have been exhausted then they find it justifiable to draw the sword against oppression and injustice. Jains believe a peaceful way can always be found, perhaps sometimes after tremendous effort. War or violence against humans or animals is never justified.

==Karma and salvation==
{{See also|Karma in Jainism}}
Both Jains and Sikhs believe in the [[Karma]] theory and re-incarnation of the soul.

Salvation for a Sikh is attained through the Divine Grace and Will of Waheguru (God) and through good deeds in one's life and the selfless service of Sewa and charity. Jains too believe in personal effort and aims and do not depend on a heavenly being for assistance. Both believe in the conquest of the mind through control of the passions through the five senses as the path to ending the cycle of sufferance of birth and death.

== Development of engines ==
*In February 2021, Agnikul test fired its semi-cryogenic [[rocket engine]] Agnilet which will power second stage of its rocket Agnibaan for the first time. The engine has been developed in single-piece through [[3D printing]] with no assembled parts.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Agnikul Cosmos fires single-piece, 3D printed rocket engine|url=https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/agnikul-cosmos-fires-single-piece-3d-printed-rocket-engine-6491661.html|newspaper=MoneyControl|access-date=2021-02-11}}</ref>
* On 8 November 2022, Agnilet was successfully test fired for a few seconds on Vertical Test Facility, [[Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station]] (TERLS), at [[Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre|Vikram Sarabhai Space Center]] (VSSC) to validate the design and manufacturing methodology used in the development process. AgniKul Cosmos holds the patent for design and manufacturing of single-piece rocket engine. The first dedicated factory to manufacture large number of 3D printed rocket engines is in IIT Madras Research Park.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Kandavel |first=Sangeetha |title=Chennai-headquartered Agnikul Cosmos successfully test-fires 3D-printed rocket engine |language=en-IN |work=The Hindu |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/chennai-headquartered-agnikul-cosmos-successfully-test-fires-3d-printed-rocket-engine/article66112203.ece |access-date=2022-11-09 |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>
*On 7th February 2023, flight acceptance test of Angilet for Agnikul's controlled sub-orbital flight was successfully conducted. The engine was completely manufactured at Agnikul's Rocket Factory - 1. In this particular test, engine was fired over and above the mission burn time as required for flight acceptance.<ref>https://youtube.com/bj805ThRvtM| Test firing video of engine on Agnikul's official YouTube channel.</ref>

== Launch vehicle ==
[[Agnibaan]] (''{{lit|Arrow of fire}}'') is envisaged to be a mobile launch system capable of placing a {{cvt|100|kg}} satellite into a {{cvt|700|km}} orbit. The rocket will be 18 meters long with a diameter of 1.3 meters and a lift-off mass of {{cvt|14000|kg}}. It will use clustered engines on first stage in various configurations depending upon the payload and will only use [[LOX]] and [[Kerosene]] based engines. The rocket is supposed to be manufactured by [[3D printing]] at whole.<ref name="Agnibaan">{{Cite web|title=Agnibaan|url=https://agnikul.in/#/products|work=AgniKul Cosmos|access-date=2020-12-07}}</ref>
