Sikhism and Hinduism are two different religions .
http://www.searchsikhism.com/hinduism.html

no one is rejecting anybody . Most Hindus are pretty open and tolerant.
Lets spread love , not hatred .

The Hindus praise the Praiseworthy Lord; the Blessed Vision of His Darshan, His form is incomparable.

This is because during the olden times Sikh warriors protected Hindus and they just assumed that Sikhs were a part of their religion. Answer this question

If someone was born a Muslims ( no offense) and converted to Christianity what would that make him, a Christian or Muslim.

Obviously Christian because he choose to leave that religion.

Sikhs have different views

Hindus think the Vedas, Ramayana etc are a true,

Sikhs think they are false.

I could go on forever but I won't

Sikhism is a different religion than Hinduism

SIKHISM IS MONOTHEISTIC RELIGION

HINDUISM IS POLYTHEISM RELIGION

END OF STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you for reading

I am a Hindu, but I do not reject Sikhism as a different religion. In my eyes all religions are equal and are different paths to reach the Supreme Being - the ultimate goal.

Majority of Sikhs and Hindus dint reject each other. But the fundamentalists within the two communities manage to irritate each other. Infact, the Hindu fundamentalists like R.S.S revivalists love to say that Sikhism has no identity but is Hinduism only. The Sikh fundamentalists like the Tat Khalsa etc hit back by saying that Sikhs are not Hindus. Both fundamentalists are trying to boost their fragile ego es. Fundamentalist is a kind word, both are actually lunatics.

The fact is that there is no one major religion called Hinduism with satellites - no, but their are various thoughts which together form the Hindu Umbrella.

THE HINDU UMBRELLA ( like the Christian and Muslim Umbrella )

Hinduism is not Christianity and Islam which are codified religions, and have a book and a prophet. Hinduism has originated from various rituals tribal customs and social life over the centuries. Hinduism has 1000?s of Gods and Goddesses and various diverse thoughts. Predominant amongst these thoughts is a way of life called Sanatan Dharma which more than 60% of the Hindus follow, and this is generally mistaken as Hinduism, and the other thoughts are treated as offshoots of Hinduism. The real truth is that Hinduism means Sanatan Dharma AND all the other thoughts. Sikhism is but one of these thoughts.

The fact actually is that there are actually 4 great religions. Within the Christian Umbrella are various branches - Catholic, Protestant, Methodist, Adventist, etc. Within the Muslim umbrella are various branches - Shia, Sunni, Ahmediya etc. There is Judaism and finally Hinduism ( which is a collection of various beautiful thoughts like Buddhism, Sanatana Dharma, Sikhism, Jainism, Arya Samajists, Vaishnav, Shaivaites Manbhum, Santhal etc )

GURU NANAK DEVJI WAS A HINDU

So Sikhism is born out of Hinduism. Guru Nanak Devji was born a Hindu, he was a traveling holy man who followed a custom of Sant Mat ( or Saint Tradition ) quite popular amongst saints those days. It was a thought he inculcated in his believers and told them to learn it. His believers were called Sikhs as Sikh means ? ?to learn? We had 9 more Gurus. Yes Guru Nanak also took some minor feedback from Islam but that is the nature of Hinduism ? to absorb from everyone.

The Sikh Gurus had Hindu names..

Nanak Dev - Dev is found in Sanskrit
Angad Dev - Angad is the name of a vaanar prince in the Ramayana
Amar Das - Amar means eternal in Sanskrit
Ram Das - Ram is another name found in Sanskrit literature, meaning perfect man
Arjan Dev - Means archer, reference to Arjun of Mahabharata fame
Har Gobind - Gobind is another name of Sri Krishna, so was Hari (which Har is likely derived from)
Har Rai - Rai is a common Hindu surname
Har Krishan - Krishna is the avatar of Sri Vishnu
Tegh Bahadur - His last name was also Rai
Gobind Singh - Again, Gobind is another name of Sri Krishna. His last name was also Rai

FANATIC SIKHS TRY TO REINVENT THE WHEEL

Generally, Fundamentalist Sikhs have only one major argument - 'that we have different ideas as compared to Hinduism.' Please note - Sikhs have similarities with other Hindu thoughts. But they also have some differences in ways and thoughts BUT there are 50 ? 100 different ways and thoughts WITHIN the umbrella of Hinduism and we are but one of them.

Do you understand ? But some Sikhs who have a huge ego and desperately want to lie to themselves that they are something different and something special say that we Sikhs are 1 amongst 7 great world religions. That is wrong. Either Sikhs should say that there are 4 major religions and we are part of Hindusim OR say that there are about 100 major sects and Sikhs are one of them.

It is the Hindu way of converting people. Look at this Fanatic Hindu oops answer. He constantly pretends to be Sikh and posts anti Sikh answers and copy pastes the same thing to all of his answers.
