Sikhism recognises the concept of a multi-level approach to achieving your target as a disciple of the faith.
Since Sikhism originated in the Punjab region, most Sikhs trace their roots to that region (though in recent times, with the spread both of Sikhism and Sikhs, one might encounter Sikhs belonging to other geographical locations across the world).
Sikhism made a radical departure from Hinduism by demolishing the iniquitous barriers that the Hindu society had erected between man and man, and between man and woman.
Sikhism encourages education of girls which will enable them to adopt rational modes of thought and use their faculties to the maximum advantage of society.
Sikhism also encourages widow remarriage but it does not approve of widows marrying again when they have children living with them.21 It is apparent that some of the aforementioned factors tend to increase fertility while others tends to reduce fertility.
