===Sikhism=== {{Main|Sikh feminism}} In [[Sikhism]] women are equal to men. The verse from the Sikh scripture the [[Guru Granth Sahib]] states that: {{Blockquote|text=From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. Woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. When his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. So why call her bad? From her, kings are born. From woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.|sign=Guru Nanak|source=Guru Granth Sahib}} According to scholars such as Nikky-Guninder Kaur Singh, feminist theology in Sikhism is also the feminization of rituals such as the ceremonial rite of who lights a funeral pyre. Singh further states that this is the reclamation of religion to inspire "personal and social renewal of change" and that these theologians are seen as gurus rather than simply women or scholars. The teachings of [[Guru Nanak]] focus on the singularity between men and women, with anything that differs denounced. He cites the example that origins and traditions stem from women as supervisors and in control, as well as engaged in history, such as [[Mai Bhago]], who rallied men to fight against imperial forces alongside her in the battle at Muktsar in 1705.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Singh |first1=Nikky-Guninder Kaur |title=Why Did I Not Light the Fire?
