Who is changing the page?

Somebody is making strange pages....This page is meant to show the SIMILARITIES of Hindus & Sikhs, not a seperation ARYAN818 09:03, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

No this article is a biased attempt to state similarities between Sikhism and Hinduism, where there are none.

Sikhism is different from Hinduism fundementally:

  • Guru Nanak states that the Vedas (or other relious texts do not know the mysteries of God -

Page 747, Line 18 - Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji ਬੇਦ ਕਤੇਬ ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਭਿ ਸਾਸਤ ਇਨ੍ਹ੍ਹ ਪੜਿਆ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਨ ਹੋਈ ॥ बेद कतेब सिम्रिति सभि सासत इन्ह पड़िआ मुकति न होई ॥ bayd katayb simrit sabh saasat inH parhi-aa mukat na ho-ee. One may read all the books of the Vedas, the Bible, the Simritees and the Shaastras, but they will not bring liberation.

  • Guru Nanak rejected Hinduism, by rejecting the Janeo (Hindu sacred thread), or conformation of Hinduism.
  • Sikhism does not believe in idol worship or ancestor worship.
  • Sikhs are permitted to eat meat. (provided it is not ritually slaughtered). The Sikhs Guru's who were from Khatri/Kshatriya (warrior descent), had no qualms about meat eating. Vaishnav Hinduism emphasises strict Vegetarianism.
  • Sikhs believe that Karma can be broken by Gods will and submitting to God's will and trying to change what one can. *Hinduism believes you have to die and be reincarnated in your next life to reach a higher level of existence.
  • Sikhs do not believe in going on pilgrimages or bathing at Holy rivers etc.
  • Sikhs belive in equality of man and women. In Hinduism the woman is subservient to the man.
  • Sikhs do not believe in a caste system (unlike Hinduism).

A thoroughly biased article written by people with an agenda.
