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. - UNSIGHNED
