The Khalsa Code of Ethical Conduct: A Brief Overview
The Sikh will worship only God. They will not set up any idols, gods, goddesses or statues for worship nor shall they worship any human being.
The Sikh will believe in no other religious book other than the Holy Guru Granth Sahib, although they can study other religious books for acquiring knowledge and for comparative study.
The Sikh will not believe in castes, untouchability, magic, omens, amulets, astrology, appeasement rituals, ceremonial hair cutting, fasts, frontal masks, sacred thread, graves and traditional death rites.
The Khalsa will remain distinct by wearing the Five K's but shall not injure the feelings of others professing different religions.
The Khalsa will pray to God before starting any work. This will be over and above his usual prayers.
Although a Sikh may learn as many languages as he likes, he must learn Punjabi and teach his children to learn to read it.
Every male should add "Singh" after his name and every female Khalsa should add "Kaur" after her name. They must never remove hair from any part of their bodies.
Drugs, Smoking and Alcohol are strictly forbidden for Sikhs
Khalsa men and women will not make holes in their ears or nose and shall have no connection whatsoever with those who kill their daughters. Sikh women will not wear a veil.
A Sikh must live on honest labour and give generously to the poor and the needy thinking all the time that whatever he gives is given to the Guru.
A Sikh must never steal or gamble.
Except for the kacha and the turban there is no restrictions on the dress of a Khalsa, but a Khalsa's dress should be simple and modest.
When a Khalsa meets another Khalsa he will greet him by saying, Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh (The Khalsa belong to God, Victory belongs to God).

it means ("pure"). Dedicated Sikh community founded by Guru Gobind Singh in 1699 in response to continual persecution by Mughal authorities. The Khalsa underwent an initiation ritual of baptism and wore the Five Ks.

A Sikh who's ready to fight for anyone who can't protect him/herself. Since Sikhism is all about being a saint-soldier, every Sikh is a Khalsa as well.
