Question

sense of community and equality of all people

Answer 2

The correct answers are: sense of community and equality of all people.

The five Ks are:

• Kesh (uncut hair)
• Kanga (steel bracelet)
• Kara (wooden comb)
• Kachera  (cotton underwear)
• Kirpan (steel sword)

These five items are the fundamental articles of faith of every Sikh and must be present. Every Sikh must wear a cotton underwear, a steel bracelet, a steel sword, they must let their hair grow long and must clean it and comb it daily with a wooden comb. By following this, a sense of community is created among all Sikhs and, since they are all wearing the same religious uniform, it reminds them that all people are equal.
