Okay you might know a bit more about Hinduism but again, Sikhism is just like Islam a monotheistic religion and that's one of the main principles for Sikhs, it doesn't come in other forms like Hinduism.. So it pretty much answers your own question how Sikhs are different.

1) None. Some Hindus converted to Sikhism and some to Islam.

2) The Khalsa army (Sikhs) were defending and fighting for the Hindus so a lot of Hindu families made the eldest son a Sikh and sent him to the Khalsa army to return.. what they considered "a favour".

They might have called them out but has it ever been a part of the religion. If it's written somewhere in the Gita or said by one of the Gods or any prophet then you have a point. Sikhs have always been taught how everyone is equal, our prophets opposed to the caste-system. There are Sikh Sindhi's so if they get married in a Gurdwara it's normal, isn't it? Although everyone is welcome in a Gurdwara, one doesn't have to be a Sikh to visit a Gurdwara. Infact, this is something worth reading;

DEHRADUN: The Sikhs of Joshimath, a small town in the state of Uttarakhand, have set an example by allowing the Muslim community to offer prayer at their Gurdwara on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr, Indian media reported.

Well said. I stand corrected but I never said Sikhism is not distinct. I just said, Sikhism is not very different. For sure, Sikh's have their own identity. That's the five K's were created. All I'm saying is that Hindu's and Sikh's are bounded together in a way, which is hard to see with any two other religions.

that's my whole point, monotheism is one of the main principles of Dvaita Vedanta, so how's that any different?

I am hearing this for the first time because what I have read is the 7 phere are the same in South as well as the North, other customs and traditions might differ. But okay let's leave that aside, the vows we take in Sikhism are completely different from the promises the Hindus make while marrying. And there are so many other differences between these two religions, like we do not believe in mukti. But yes it's okay if people think Sikhs are not different.. because it doesn't matter how much we try to explain some people will believe what they want to believe. So yes let's leave it at that. I am happy atleast the followers of these two religions can live peacefully in one country, not only of these two.. followers of any religion live peacefully together in India.

My husband is a Kashmiri pandit and the rituals at our wedding were very different than any other Hindu wedding I have seen. We had 3.5 phere. We had to look at each other in a mirror. We were to sit under a shawl/ blanket while everyone showered us with flowers. For our saptpadi I had to walk on money. Do basically the rituals vary depending on where you are from

Oh really.. like you just said monotheism is one of the main principles of Islam too so are you going to tell me Sikhism and Islam are the same? 😆 The other principles like no idol worship, no cast system and no belief in mukti are different too... now tell me, how many more differences do you want in two religions? 😆

that's like saying cats have 4 legs, so they are related to dogs, since they also have 4 legs 😆

Are you seriously suggesting that moksha isn't part of Sikhism?, maybe you'd like to reevaluate that. 😆
