Who are these Akali Nihung? They can be traced back to the time of Guru Gobind Singh Ji's youngest son, Sahibzada Fateh Singh Ji.  Mata Sahib Devan Ji would get Sahibzada ready for the day, lovingly adorning him with beautiful bana, shastars, dastaar and plume.

In Sau Sakhi (100 Stories) of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, Guru Sahib have given us many gems of knowledge guiding us in living the Sikh way of life, attain self realization and become one with Vaheguru. In Sakhi No 12, Guru Gobind Singh Ji enlightens their Sikhs with the knowledge of five types of Sikhs/Sikhi. Bhai Daya Singh Ji, the first Pyara of the Panj Pyare, also the dearest friend of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, in their Rehatnama (Code of Conduct) writes that,  Briefly translated, it says, there are five types of Sikhi, one based on dealings, one by copying others, one based on greed, one based on faith and one based on emotions of love.  1.
