Sikhism is distinct because it emphasizes the concepts of equality, social justice, and service to others. It promotes the belief in one God, rejects the Caste System, and encourages living a life of compassion and righteousness. Sikhism also developed unique practices such as wearing the Five Ks and congregational singing in Gurdwaras.

Sikhism is different because they don't believe in ritualistic things like Hindus do. They focus on being liberated from the cycle of birth and death (reincarnation) and merging with Waheguru (God).
