what is similarity in sikhism and hinduism?

Here are some of the similarities between Hinduism and Sikhism:
# At the time of the Gurus, most North Indian families would remain "Hindu" while the eldest son was a "Sikh." Hindus enlisting their eldest sons in the Khalsa was done for protection against the Mughals.
# Many Hindus visit Sikh temples.[citation needed]. For instance, the Hemkhund Sahib is a high-altitude lake in the Indian State of Uttarakhand is regarded as a pilgrimage site by the adherents of Hindus and a Lakshman Temple and Sikh Gurudwaara exist close together on the banks of the same lake there.
# When a Sikh dies, cremation is the preferred method. This is the same in Hinduism, although this is a cultural similarity between many cultures.
# Sikhs may also do the 'immersion of corpse remains' in a river after cremation, as Hindus do, although this is not a requirement; ashes may be deposited anywhere sentimental.

in Hindus crime rate is far larger than Sikhs. Hindus have caste difference . Hindus 1 billion population is huge burden on the earth. Sikhs are very less . Hindus are bounded in old culture and tradition.

cultural similarity .
Karma , reincarnation , devotional worship .
Many core Hindu concepts are feasible with Sikhism.

ill tell you why Hindus and Sikhs are alike. To understand Sikhism you have to understand Hinduism.

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 )

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.

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
