It is Hinduism with some Islamic flavor.

The Muslims were killing the Hindus and Buddhists left right and center so the Sikhs were born as a warrior race to fight back. They always carry a dagger as a result.

They believe in One God.

Guru Nanek Dev is the founder of their religion.

Think Tanker has incorrectly said Sikhism is Hinduism with Islamic favor .

Sikhism is a monotheistic and pantheisticICCeligion formed 500 years ago , by Guru Nanak , who also is the first Guru of the Sikhs . Guru Nanak passed his succession of spirituality ( bestowed on him by god himself ) to 2ND Guru . 2ND guru passed to 3rd one and so on we have had 10 Human Gurus .
10Th Guru passed guru-ship to holy scripture , Guru Granth Sahib .

Sikhism basically believes in Working honestly , Meditating on name of God , Sharing with others .
Sikhism is also noticeable as one of the most friendly and tolerant religions . Sikhism not only tolerates other faiths , but also asks followers of other faiths to be achieve salvation while following their own religion . Sikhs have also sacrificed their lives for protection of poor , weak , needy , other faiths .
