When, where, who, how and why are the points of this question I guess if we go in details.

Sikhism is aspired from Islam and Hinduism.
It believes in One god like Islam and Guru , and all other concepts like Hinduism.

For the Ravi Soni- Truth is only one, there can not be a Hindu truth or Muslim Truth or christian truth or Sikh Truth. Sikhism was here always. God blessed Guru Nanak to remove the curtain. Bhagat Beni was here in 12Th century. In every Yug there were Bhagats and they followed Truth. Clouds of darkness can not hide sun for a long time. Guru Nanak started preaching Sikhism around 1507 from Sultanpur, he gathered Banis of various Bhagats and handed over to his successor and so on. Fifth Guru Arjun compiled Guru Granth. Tenth Guru added bani of Guru Teg bahadur and declared Guru Granth as Guru. He is also considered as founder of Khalsa. He gave us special uniform. Again Khalsa was here before too. This word comes in Gurbani in the versions of Bhagat Kabir. Khalsa means one who has direct relationship with God, purity is also one its attributes. Bhai Gurdas mentioned similar quotation regarding Guru Nanak when he said, " Nanak nirmal panth chaliaia- Nanak started a true panth or shabad jitti sidh mandali keetos aapna panth nirala"
