Part 8/11:
The resilience cultivated by Sikhs during centuries of persecution meant developing an unbreakable spirit—Char, meaning "rising spirits"—which persists in Sikh culture today. Sikhs see adversity as an opportunity to demonstrate inner strength, resilience, and positivity.
For example, Sikhs would honor those with disabilities or hardships, recognizing their courage and strength rather than their limitations, aligning with the philosophy of seeing potential and resilience in every individual. Such perspectives foster a community rooted in endurance, gratitude, and hope, values that can be universalized in various contexts.
