Why are we not Hindus?

[Guest Bhujang]

It's clear that Sikhi is very different from Islam. However, same cannot be argued for Hinduism. Sikhi shares a lot with it; reincarnation, concept of Guru-student, mukti etc. Given that Hinduism encompasses various differing traditions, Sikhi can be accepted as a tradition within the wider Hindu dharma. It technically is and has been, until the British-funded Singh Sabha

You think they are same because you are trying to find sikhi in NIHANGS, and so called modern day "dont know what they're doing" Sikhs. You cant find sikhi there.....

Try reading Granth for yourself and you'll find evrything that PANDITs did was opposed by Gurus..... From AARTI to MUKTI..its not sikhi...

we are the same

Mostly Hindus converted to Sikhi.

Guru Nanak was born into a Hindu (Kshatriyas) family near Lahore.

A few Muslims have also become Sikhs.

simple answer , sikhi offers everything the other two don't, without the discriminating garbage and the false human arbiters/intermediaries .

Hinduism is a culture of many different religions

Difference with Sikhi - as JkvLondon said - there is no caste system and the reason why Sikhi was created is (as Bhai Gurdas Ji puts it) the world was crying out and Waheguru ji in his compassion (and sadness to see people suffer) sent Guru Nanak to this Earth to give us the full truth - not just a bit of truth found in every other religion.

hit the nail on the head. This is what Hinduism is. Its an umbrella term for different faiths with similarities that have been placed together.  I would not even be surprised if these small faiths want to break away from this Hinduism terms and be recognised as a separate faith. RSS will do its best to ensure this does not happen.

Just something interesting I think in Jahangir's mughal chronicles - sorry I definitely do not know what the book is called (correct me) -  he talks about how Guru Arjan Dev ji went through a Shaheedi and he called him a Hindu. Hindu is just Persian for South of the river Indus

This guy explains it better than me

Lingayats want to break away from Hinduism and be recognized as a separate religion, but don't think the government is letting them.

Because our guru told us that we are neither Hindus, Muslims or any other religion. Our guru told us to respect other religions but not to take part in their worship and rituals
