Abstract
These two case histories contain the essence of this lecture that to us the early form of Sikh faith was 'a counter-religious movement' means a movement of departure from the existing religious traditions. This is what happened with the Sikh faith. In this lecture we will see how this happened. But before that we have to deal with some basic issues raised by some scholars about the origin of Sikh faith as a religion including the different interpretations of the work of the founder Guru Nanak. The discussion of this lecture will be centred on these two points or views about the early Sikh faith and the formation of Sikh identity. This discussion will be carried an under the following sub-heads: Counter Religious Movement and Formation of Sikh Identity and the lecture will end with brief concluding remarks on the continuing challenges to the Sikh identity.
