Are Sikhs Hindus or Muslims?

[911]

Jesus was born also JEW. So should it mean there are no Christian as such? NO

If Sikh guru's or their parents were born Hindu is irrelavent. Today a Sikh is a Sikh.

 

[KN-1]

Sikhs are sikhs and if i am not wrong they are fighting politically against hindutva who put them under hindu category in indian constitution , they are neither Muslims nor Hindus.. They have thier own founder of religion, gurus, book etc...

One needs to understand the motive behind this c&@p by Zakir Nayak. He is trying to play minority against majority. Despite being less in numbers, Sikhs play a dominant role in India's affairs whether it's in administration or in armed forces. In India or anywhere around the World Sikhs & Hindus don't differentiate between each other. For a Hindu visiting Gurudwara is no deferent to visiting a temple, vice a versa for a Sikh!

Neither, Sikhs are Sikhs. Every documentable religion has been influenced by other religions, cults, cultural past. This applies to all, including Hinduism, Islam, Christianity and bhuddisum

 

[Great Sachin]

There is a relation between Hindu and Sikh....Where Islam come into picture?
Zakir Naik is lal topi of India...he can say anything

 

[Al-zakir]

No I heard they are more against Muslim then him dude. Their man were 'churi' with a vow to eliminated Muslim then remove the churi

I do not disagree with you, in fact Sikhs caused more damaged to Muslim than Hindus. From the time of Mughal to 1947 and then of course 1971.

Hinduism, Budhism and Sikhism, are different religions. But the essence of all these is same.
These are Dharmic religions.
There are no hard and fast rules which you have to follow in order to be a hindu.

Now, as with each religion there are good things and bad things associated.
Same is the case with Hinduism.
Budhism originated from Hinduism, because of the voilence and divide in the society.
Budhism taught non- violence to society, and hence spread and became one of the main religions. It spread so fast becuase people was fed up of widespread violence during that period. Kings Ashoka was an example.

Now, Sikhism originated during muslim empires in India.
At the time, when atrocities of the muslim emperors were goin out of hand, another religion originated from Hinduism in the form of Sikhism.
Sikhs were warrior clans, who fought the muslim rulers. All our Gurus faulught the wars with Muslim rulers, except Guru Nanak ji, whi was a saint. The whole Sikh history is filled with lengends and stories of great figures fighting the muslim opression.
Now, as mentioned earlier by some members, Guru Nanak himself was born in Hindu family.
All our Gurus have Hindu names, from Guru Angad dev ji to Guru Gobind Singh ji.
Every Gurudwara, which has some history related to it, is a temple and gurudwara both.
Sikhs here knows the importance of places like Manikaran Sahib and Hemkund Sahib.
These places are temples as well as Gurudwars.

So, saying that Sikhism is different from Hinduism and Is closer to Islam is wrong.
Sikhism is a branch of Hinduism which originated when need arose.

Those Khalistan Sikhs dont even have a slightest idea of Sikhism.
Every religion has its share of fanatics, Khalistanis are Sikh fanatics.


P.S. -- I consider myself lucky, to be born in a Dharmic religion, which gives me Right to choose anything, question anything.
I have freedom to question my religion, i have freedom to change my religion, and I have a freedom to even make my own path,
i can create my own religion.
I am a Hindu and Sikh as well.
Neither Hinduism stops me from going to Gurudwaras Nor does Sikhism stops me from going to temple.

Thank you.

They are not Hindus but most of their traditions are based on the Hinduism and some others are took from Islam.
But like Hinduism ,Sikhism is also a religion that born in the sub continent unlike Islam that in Arabia and Christianity that in West .
That made them almost a dharmic religion .

I think you read too biased history regarding Muslim ruled in India . if the ruler were oppressive just because of religious believe then Indian subcontinent would not thrive as mainly Hindu dominated continent where only ~30% are Muslim and Hindu are nearly 60 % .

@WebMaster @waz @WAJsal canot you please close this thread?

They are neither, and both Hindus and Muslims should afford them the respect of being an independent, and I have to say a very fine faith as well. My own Muslim Sufi heritage has a strong cultural link with them. The Gurus themselves were amongst the greatest men that ever lived.
