Sikhism started with birth of Guru Nanak Dev ji, and its teachings and opinions were quite different from Hinduism. The 9th Guru of Sikhs, Guru Teg Bahadur Ji, did sacrifice his life to save Kashmiri Pandits, only because forcing someone to change the religion is against humanity and Sikhism. He did this for the sake of humanity not for the Hindus or Hinduism. Even if it would have been some other religion, his action would have been the same.

Sikhism was founded by Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji (1469-1538). At Sultanpur, he received a vision to preach the way to enlightenment and God. He taught a strict monotheism, the brotherhood of humanity. He rejected idol worship, and the oppressive Hindu concept of caste.

Answer 4

A Guru, Guru Nanak, was raised as a Hindu, in Punjab. People there were either Hindu's, or Muslims. Anyway, Nanak believed that both of these religions were equal, and prayed to one God, who was neither male nor female. Nanaks father kept telling him that Hindu's prayed to many Gods, not just the one. Nanak did not care. All he wanted to do was spread the Word of God. One night, Nanak had a vision. He went to a river to bathe, and did not return for three days. When he eventually returned, everybody had asked: "Nanak! Where have you been?" Nanak replied:

"I had a vision. God has contacted me, and told me to look after his world. Everybody is equal." After that, Nanak created Sikhism. He created a community were everybody was equal, depsite the current Caste System. No matter what race, colour, or religion you were, Nanak and his God accepted you. After that, Nanak travelled for 20 years all over Asia to spread the Word of God. He was successful. He died of natural causes. He said to his people: "All Muslims put your flowers to one side, and Hindu's to the other. Whichever one is freshest in the morning is the better religion." When everyone awoke that morning, Nanak had disappeared. However, the flower were there. And, every single flower was still fresh, and equal. They all remembered there and then that Nanak believed everyone was equal. The second Guru carried on after Nanak died. And Sikhism continued.
