The paper addresses the view of Guru Nanak's thought regarding politics or Sikh view of politics. Politics as a basic and fundamental aspect of human life, no society can function properly unless it is bonded by some order. Just like the whole universe is bounded in a specific and proper order by the creator Himself. All though Guru Nanak was neither a politician or statesman nor participated directly or indirectly in any active politics. But His reactions to the contemporary political conditions have become the fountain head of his philosophy of politics. His concept has universal acceptability. HIs believes that an ideal political system or state should provide security to the people, fulfilment of peoples essential needs, deliverance of justice, safeguard of people's rights and for the protection of fraternity of all human beings. The paper also focusses on the relation between religion and politics, freedom of equality and no discrimination on the basis of religion.
