The Sikh history is unmatched. We can't compare anybody,like Baba Buddha Ji and Baba Deep Singh Ji. They have played their own part in shaping the Sikh history. All Sikh mentioned above were working when Sikhism was going through different phases. Their acts were according to the time they were present in. They did what the time asked then to do.
So I think putting one on the list and saying him/her to be the most influential is not justified. No body can form a criteria to decide the most influential Sikh.

But we can surely talk about those who are in the present time ,taking into consideration their profession. For example if I talk of singing - ther's no body more influential than Rabbi Shergill . He's the only Punjabi Singer who has kept his Sikh identity. You can read more about him here and also get the lyrics of his songs.

I think I'm able to drive the point home. Is it?

This is a multiple selection poll... so you can select more than one option. Hence the sum may never add up to 100%. :)

This is really hard. Right now if I could pick only one it would be Bhai Gurdas ji. If I can pick more than one (which we can do) then I need to add some other names. Still thinking about this.

I don't understand why Guru Nanak Dev is not on the list.

Antonia ji, i just rephrased the main post to be more specific. Regards

Being a Forum Leader, you can edit the poll and add to the list. :)

How about H S Phoolka.

There was a similar facebook and someone added HS Phoolka there.

Baba Jujar Singh Ji
Baba Fateh Singh Ji
Baba Ajit Singh Ji
Baba Jorawar Singh Ji
Their contribution to Silh Panth is beyond any description.
