It'd take too much time to write out the philosophical differences and similarities but it is more or less a fusion of Islam and Buddhism. Sufism on the other hand is a fusion of Islam and Hinduism.

Read Rumi.

Honestly some people's comments are funny like the one saying going to hell where did that come from am just guessing you don't believe in a religion. Plus there is 1 similarity they originated in India and that's it read up on the religion before making questions.

Similarities;
Both originated in the sub continent.
Both believe in having a spiritual Guru, Sikhs after Guru Gobind Singh regard Guru Granth their spiritual Guru.
Hindus and Sikhs both believe in good Karma.
Hindus and Sikhs both believe in cremation. In Sikhs however cremation is a preferred method.
Both Hindus and Sikhs believe in service.
Both believe in meditation.

Sikhism is not a mixture of Hindus and Muslims and they have their own concepts. Some points which are unique to Sikhs are:
1. Sikhs have Five ?K?. Any community cannot patent Word Five, meaning of five K is totally different than five times bowing.
2. Muslims do not believe in idol worship like Sikhs. But Sikhs do not believe in destruction of these?
3. Hindus have Malchy's or Sudra's and Muslims have gaffers, Sikhs do not have these.
4. Hindus do not allow Muslims entry in their temples and Muslims do not allow any non-Muslims entry in their mosque, in Sikh temples every one is free to enter.
5. Hindus and Muslims do not have much believe in Langar (free food) to everyone who visits their temple or mosque. It is speciality of Sikhism.
6. Tobacco is strictly banned in Sikhism but not in Hindus and Muslims, Sikhs do not sacrifice their principals to make new followers.
Sikhism is true religion as it unites humanity.
7. Sikhs do not believe in fasting unlike Hindus and Muslims.
8. Both Hindus and Muslims believe in sacrifice of animals to please god, Sikhism ridicules it.
And there are so many others.
9. No casteism
10. No believe in superstitions like mangleek, fortune telling, kundali, sootak, paatak.
11. Man and woman are equal. Ladies can perform any religious duty, a male can perform.
