The Sikh Gurus stand as luminaries in the annals of Sikh history, revered for their profound spiritual insights, unwavering commitment to righteousness, and selfless service to humanity. By means of their sacred lives, teachings, and legacies, those first ones established a lively religion for Sikhs to follow into the way of truthfulness, equality, and worship of the heavens; as a result millions people received this way of life.Beginning with Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikhism, each Guru played a pivotal role in shaping the ethos and practices of the Sikh faith. Guru Nanak Dev ji, whose birthplace is Talwandi (this village is now known as Nanakana Sahib), took long journeys throughout geographical locations to spread the ideology of ikonkar (the notion of the formless and the omnipresent divine) together went with his followers and the concept of Simran (meditation on the divine name) and kar sema (selfless service).Guru Nanaks spiritual successor, Guru Angad Dev Ji, continued the mission of spreading Sikh teachings, furthering the practice of Naam Simran and promoting humility as a cornerstone of spiritual growth. Through his leadership, the Gurmukhi script was standardized, which allowed to set apart Sikh scripture as well as its conservation.Guru Angad Dev Jis emphasis on the importance of education and community welfare left an indelible mark on Sikh society.

Hinduism is one of the oldest and most diverse religious traditions in the world. Over the years, it has been deeply connected with social systems and cultural norms which have greatly impacted people’s lives for centuries. This paper will discuss two major social concerns that exist within Hindu society – caste system and women’s status. We will look at their historical background, development over time as well as current challenges faced by them; besides we are going to touch upon attempts made towards changing these aspects taking into consideration insights from Hindu religious texts, historical records and contemporary discourses.

Caste System in Hindu Society: Historical Views and Modern ChallengesThe “varna vyavastha” or caste system is a hierarchical division of people into different groups based on their birth, occupation and social status . There are four main categories under this traditional varna system:

• Brahmins (Priests): They belong to highest varna who perform priestly duties such as conducting rituals, studying scriptures etc.
• Kshatriyas (Warriors): This class includes warriors responsible for protecting society against external aggression and ruling kingdoms internally.
• Vaishyas (Merchants): Members of business community engaged mainly in wealth creation through trade activities like agriculture among others.
• Shudras (Servants): Labourers performing manual tasks considered inferior by other higher castes; they serve those above them.
