Indian Constitution. Article 25 , The word Sikh in explanation II, of sub-clause (b) of Clause 2 of Article 25 of Constitution of India. Legally assimilates Sikhism into Hinduism. On the basis of above mentioned explanation II, Supreme Court of India has given judgment that Sikhs are part of wider Hindu Community. Thus Indian Constitution treats Sikhism as a sect of Hinduism and not an independent religion.
Now all that tells me is that Sikh is a Hindu, even though a Sikh might not agree that he is a Hindu, but officially he is.
Wow. Nice try bro. But you should have produced the entire article here.
Here -Article 25
Freedom of conscience and free profession, practice and propagation of religion -
(1) Subject to public order, morality and health and to the other provisions of this Part, all persons are equally entitled to freedom of conscience and the right freely to profess, practice and propagate religion.
(2) Nothing in this article shall affect the operation of any existing law or prevent the State from making any law -
(a) regulating or restricting any economic, political or other secular activity which may be associated with religious practice;
(b) providing for social welfare and reform or the throwing open of Hindu religious institutions of a public character to all classes and sections of Hindus.
Explanation I – The wearing and carrying of kirpans shall be deemed to be included in the profession of the Sikh religion.
Explanation II – In sub-Clause (b) of clause (2), the reference to Hindus shall be construed as including a reference to persons professing the Sikh, Jains or Buddhist religion, and the reference to Hindu religious institutions shall be construed accordingly. (emphasis added)
-----------------------------------
This is the entire Article 25 . If Sikhism wasn't a separate religion Explanation I and II would never have been added.
Carefully read the language of Explanation II. Sikhism has clearly been referred to as a separate religion.
It has only been said that the term hindu as used in clause 2(b) will be interpreted as including Sikhism , Buddhism and Jainism only for the purpose of interpretation of this Article and the rights that arise from it.
You need to read the law and understand it before you go around posting random stuff in the open like this.
