Abstract
This paper discusses the gender identity in Sikhism with regard to the status of Sikh women in society. The Gender role and its record is always a neglected part in Sikh history. In order to examine gender and its identity within Sikh literature and culture and to understand the construction of gender and its status in Punjabi society, I use references from proverbs and from collective consciousness of the society as well as the sacred Sikh scripture. I will critique status of women in Sikhism to bear witness and to uncover the silence and neglection toward the Sikh women
