Best Answer

The practice of infant baptism traces back to the ravages of the Black Death during the middle ages. The plague wiped out huge numbers of people of all ages. Parents, afraid their sick children would go to Hell, sought a means to save them, and the Catholic church instituted infant baptisms as a response. However, not all Christian denominations carry out infant baptisms, and there is no Biblical basis for it.

I have been asked to be a godparent but i am a Sikh and havent been christened can i still be a godparent?

No you cannot be a Godparent if you are not a Roman Catholic. I guess the parents of the child have not consulted the priest before asking you. The moment they approach the church they will have to name another God parent who is baptised in the Roman Catholic Church.
