Khatri in India, it is well-established in Sikhism history that the Khatri caste was crucial to the growth of the Sikh community during the Middle Ages. Additionally, throughout the Mughal era, the Khatris developed into a well-known scribal and commercial caste. Nevertheless, the question of why Sikhism drew a sizable Khatri following in the context of the group’s medieval commercial development has never been explored. By looking at early Sikh ideas about trade and commerce, I hope to shed light on why Sikhism was appealing to the Khatri community in medieval times. Furthermore, I want to incorporate the impact of Sikhism on the evolution of the Khatri merchant family during the Middle Ages. And contemplate how the expansion of the Khatri merchant network led to the dissemination of Sikhism throughout the Mughal.
