Hinduism is a group of closely related religions based in present day India and brought there by the Aryan ethnic group. The majority of Hindus worship many deities, just like the ancient Romans and Greeks did. Examples are Brahma, Ganesha, Lakshmi, Indra, etc. Hindu practices include the infamous Caste System and bathing in the sacred Ganges river.

Sikhism however is a monotheistic practice, just like Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, which means that they believe in one omnipotent God. Sikhism was started in Punjab which is part of present day Pakistan by an Indian mystic named Nanak Dev who believed that only one deity existed. Sikhs strive to better their relationship with both god and man.

Hope this helps!

Not many. Sikhism was greatly influenced by Islam, and therefore is clearly monotheistic. Hinduism has all strains. It can be polytheistic, montheistic, monist, or even atheist.
