What is GZG?

Guru Gobind Singh (1666–1708) was the tenth and last human Guru of Sikhism, a spiritual master, warrior, poet, and philosopher. He founded the Khalsa order of Sikhs in 1699, establishing the Five Ks (Kesh, Kara, Kanga, Kachera, Kirpan) as articles of faith. He also wrote the Zafarnama, a letter of victory to Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, and compiled the Guru Granth Sahib as the eternal Guru. In India, he is venerated across communities, especially in Punjab and Sikh diaspora. His teachings on equality, justice, and sacrifice resonate in Indian ethos. The acronym GZG is occasionally used in informal contexts or student short-hand, though the standard abbreviation is GGS. For competitive exams like UPSC, state PCS, and SSC, his life and contributions are part of Indian history and religion syllabi. Understanding his role in resisting Mughal oppression and shaping Sikh identity is crucial for general knowledge and essay sections.
