metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: In the article the introduction of the Nanakshahi calendar in 1998 (accepted in 2003, amended
  in 2010) is considered as an attempt of unification of the Sikh community, and formation of
  single-form Sikh identity. The evolution of a Sikh community is a long process and the result of the combination of different trends. The community of Sikhs started as the sect in Hinduism
  in time of Guru Nanak (1469–1539) but developed as a new religion under the leadership
  of his successors, all of whom are known as the Gurus. Dates of main historical events of
  the Sikhs together with agricultural and New Year celebrations (Diwali, Holi) became main
  festivals of the Sikh year. The matter is complicated by the emergence of significant Sikh diaspora.
  Recently Sikh religious authorities have introduced moral code of the Sikh and the Sikh
  calendar Nanakshahi to strengthen differences and to create religious boundaries between the
  Sikhs and the Hindus. In 2003 this calendar was put in force. However, some Sikh festivals are
  still celebrated in old manner according to the old Vikram (Bikrami) North Indian calendar
  and the new version (2010) of the Nanakshahi Calendar. The calendar reform aiming at the
  unification of the Sikhs resulted in rise of differences between them.
