Khalsa Party

…The 10th guru of Sikhism in India. He became guru after his father Tegh Bahadur was captured and executed by the Mughal Empire in 1675. He promoted the military equipment and training of the Sikh community, and in 1699, he began to form a strong Sikh group (Khalsa) that was united by a sense of solidarity through the performance of certain rituals. From this time on, Sikhs began to add the title Singh (lion) after their names. He also established the five Ks (initials), which included their traditions of not smoking, having long hair, and carrying daggers and bracelets. …

From [Sikhism]

… The tenth guru, Gobind Singh (reigned 1675-1708), became guru when he was only ten years old, but he was a brave and intelligent man. He finally established the use of force as a formal means of apologizing for his teachings, and founded the Khalsa (Pure) Party. Khalsa members were required to always wear five items beginning with the letter K: kesh (hair), kanger (comb), kach (short trousers), khara (bracelet), and kripān (dagger), and to add the word Siṅgh (lion) to the end of their names. …
