he term Akali is derived from the gurbani term Akaal Pururk "the Timeless One", a term for God, thus an akali is the "Servitor of the Timeless God."This also reflects the idea of Akalis as the "Immortals" or the timeless warriors.

Early Sikh military history is dominated by the Akali Sikh military order particularly for many famous military victories won while often heavily out-numbered. The Akalis have historically been held in great affection and respect by Sikhs due the pivotal role they have played in Sikh history and Sikh military history in particular.

The Nihang order is today mostly ceremonial because it is peacetime in India but in times of war, the Akalis have historically spear-headed the attack on the enemies of the Sikh religion.

The Nihang Singhs venerate three Granths: The Guru Granth Sahib,Sri Dasam Granth and the Sri Sarbloh Granth. The "saintly way" is enshrined in the Guru Granth Sahib. The warrior spirit is enshrined in the Sri Dasam Granth and Sri Sarbloh Granth.
